gone to a rave
driven abroad

I can add to that:
had a one night stand
got a tattoo
mowed the lawn
ridden a motorcycle
smoked/taken drugs
watched love island

Eaten baked beans
Drank coffee
Drank red wine
Eaten an olive
Eaten any other cheese than a mature cheddar
Tried gravy
Drank a pint

I find this food/drink list amazing. Actually I can't belive the number of people who have never drunk coffee. Why not???

I'm 50 and I've never mown a lawn, been a bridesmaid, smoked a cigarette (tobacco anyway), made yorkshire pudding, eaten Nandos, had a pedicure, worn false nails, had a professional wax, watched Game of Thrones

I'm a bit embarassed about the lawn and the yorkshire pudding, though they'd be easily sorted. Very slightly sad about the bridesmaid. Content with the others!

I can't think of any common food/drinks I've not tried. Or obvious places I've not been to.

Oh I know - I've never eaten pot noodles!
