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.

I don't like custard so I've never had Trifle or crème brûlée and other custard like desserts.

Eggs - unless hidden in a recipe such as cakes etc.
Cannot stand to smell of eggs so I've never had them scrambled, fried, poached or boiled.

Trifle - cold custard and jelly with cake in it, just why ? There are so many other wonderful puddings out there.

I can't stand creme caramel and can't help thinking it would be similar

I’ve tried a whole lot of things.

I’d probably draw the line at penis fish or testicles or sheep’s eyes.

Some cheeses like Brie and have a strong smell. The smell makes me gag (I normally leave the room when the cheese board is being served). There are a few vegetables I have not tried purely because I cannot get my hands on them and struggled to get the seeds to grow them. There are a couple of types of game I have not tried Snipe being one of them (again just due to lack of access). I havn't tried many types of crisps again due to smells (Monster Munch I am looking at you).

Bread sauce
Semolina
Bananas
Tomatoes
Pear
Oysters

Just the thought of eating any of them makes me heave but I'm actually really adventurous when it comes to food. I've tried alligator and reindeer and kangaroo etc. I always try something new on a menu..... but still can't stomach any of those things above.

Would be interesting to go back through the thread and check against foods people have listed! Might do that...

I'm amazed at how many people have never eaten KFC and McDonald's tbh - I don't know anyone who hasn't eaten these.

I’m really surprised at some of these too, as in “I’ve never tried a tomato or a banana or a pear”

McDonald's
Offal
Marmite
Rabbit
most shellfish (I tried prawns, didn't like the texture)

Vodka
Avocado
Christmas cake
Mince pies.

Picked eggs

Subway (it is my plan never to eat one)

Oysters

I've never eaten an apricot. No particular reason other than the opportunity has never arisen. Or a fig. I'll try anything once!

Grenlei
God I forgot about tripe, never tried it but even the name sounds 🤮

I didn’t think there was really anything but then I got to eggnog.
I really want to try it, can anyone describe what it tastes like please? I imagine it in my mind to be like a drink version of the custard in an egg custard tart!

There must be something but am struggling to thing of regular foods I've not tried. Used to work in a high-end restaurant so I tried many things I'd never have cooked at home.

I've never tried a medlar, they intimidate me, but they're not ordinary.

Never had KFC or a chicken nugget. Bleurgh to the smell of greasy chicken.

Never had any coffee other than plain black.

Pizza
Cheese
Tea
Coffee

Nando’s
The kebab cooking on a rotating pole

Read the whole thread and the only thing others have listed that I have not tried is marmite.

There are so many amazing foods on here that people haven't tried - you are missing out on so much.

I genuinely can't think of everyday foods I haven't tried. Some on the thread I've tried but don't like - I am not a seafood fan and I hate aubergine and courgette. But I love asparagus, black pudding, haggis, irn bru, butternut squash etc.

There are some more obscure things like emu, ostrich, octopus - I haven't had the opportunity yet to try.

OP: which 'ordinary' foods haven't you tried?
PP: 'snipe'...I had to Google that one!

Why do we have to have people heaving and gagging all over the place on these threads? If you don't fancy it you don't fancy it, no need for all the dramatics!

I've eaten everything listed except goose and turkey twizzlers. Beginning to appreciate my parents and dispare at my DCs limited diet.

That’s what makes this thread so interesting, I’ve got no intention of trying butternut squash, as to me it’s just a boring vegetable to bulk out a stew, but I have eaten ostrich several times, and octopus frequently and love them both, and will eat them again.
