Which ordinary foods and drinks have you never tried ?

[WildRosie]

For me...

Marmite
Carrot cake
Black pudding
Lucozade

I've got to fifty and all these have so far passed me by. The likelihood is that won't change.

@3luckystars I have 2 adult children who have never eaten meat

myself, I've never eaten any type of pig meat

Sweet potato & Butternut squash.... think they will be very like swede

they really, really aren't....

@Berkeys - snap!

KFC - but then I don't like fried chicken
Tofu - it looks awful, unnatural and like the texture will be horrible

Vimto, Irn-Bru. I've only had vodka once I think.

There's thousands of cakes and biscuits and chocolates I've never tried - don't have a sweet tooth.

[quote Fredoftheforest]@3luckystars - that’s right, I was raised vegetarian. I’ve never eaten any type of meat, fish or poultry.[/quote]
@Fredoftheforest @3luckystars

Me too! Veggie mother so veggie from conception.

Tofu is yummy though, just needs a good marinade.

A big mac
Fray Bentos pies
Findus crispy pancakes

Ok - the latter two probably not that common these days but most folk of my generation grew up on them and don't believe me when I say I've never had either.

I do keep meaning to try all three by way of experimentation (not at the same time though).

Wow that’s amazing! Have you ever wondered what meat tastes like?
Stupid question but do you like the smell of bacon?

@3luckystars - I’ve definitely wondered. But not enough to get past my morals and squeamishness to actually try it! Also I’ve never really liked the smell of bacon or any other meat, so it’s not that tempting!

I turned vegetarian as a teenager so have never tasted lots of animal products that have been introduced since the 80s.

Things that I'm kinda sorry I never got to try are salami and pepperoni, scallops, oysters, lobsters and calamari, off the top of my head. Also steak tartare. I wouldn't in a million years consider eating them now so I'll have to die wondering

@polkadotpixie

I've never eaten a steak. It just wasn't something we had as kids and then I went Veggie at 11 so I've never tried one

Same re the steak. Also ribs.

Definitely can't say the same for my DC. Rib/steak night happens a couple of times a month in my house and DS1 (10) already knows he likes his steak medium rare.

I went veggie at 12 and the only fish I was offered prior to that was cockles at the seaside or fish fingers. So I've never had any other type of fish (I didn't really like the things I was given though).

Pistachios. I love nuts in all other forms but can't get past the green. DH (the ultimate fussy eater) loves them.

Drinks - a cappuccino and other coffee based drinks. Have hated all coffee drinks I've tried so far so no interest in trying more.

Never tried bread and butter pudding or bread sauce. Both just sound and look revolting.

I only tried black pudding well into my 50's and I'm glad I didn't waste time on it before, it's horrible.

I've never had a pickled egg but I suspect I would like them, just never got round to trying them.

Another that’s never eaten meat.

I've eaten everything mentioned since far and I'm trying to think of a normal food I've never tried. But I can't!

I do understand the non-meat eaters but the rest I can't wrap my head around.

If the ones mentioned I didn't like tofu, figs and kfc was average.

Most forms of pork
Any seafood except prawns
Offal
Black pudding
Corned beef
Tomato juice
Lemon curd
Greek yoghurt
Kefir
Cottage cheese

I’m a fairly adventurous eater, but went vegetarian at 18 and vegan at 22.

Dito with most meat. I stopped eating it at 10, so apart from family standards such I've never had steak, shellfish, game. Despite this I've never eaten Jackfruit, it just sounds horrible!

@Chemenger I can’t vouch for bread sauce but bread and butter pudding is lovely, I made myself a vegan version last year because I missed it from college food!

Macaroni cheese.. I just cannot understand how white pasta in a white sauce made with flour and a bit of cheese could be anything else than bland gloop.

Ive never had a chip butty either for the same reason

Burger King
Nando’s
Vimto, dandelion & burdock, tizer, irn bru, cherry coke, 7up and probably loads more fizzy shit
Domino’s pizza
Pizza Hut pizza
I’m not sure if I’ve had KFC or not
Fish roe
Roll mops
Kidneys

Seafood
KFC
Greggs
Subway
Steak

I have tried black pudding though. It tastes like meaty blood.

Tinned beans. Can't stand the smell

Baked beans

Marmite
Prawns
Oysters
Black Pudding
Tomato Juice
Offal
