Whats NEVER on your list?

When you do a food shop, what food(s) would never ever make it to your trolley?

I have never and will never buy bell peppers, just the smell makes me heave and they have no place in any of my dinners. Pineapple too.

Things i automatically pick up without having to think.. olives, spinach and red leicester cheese.

Pork - it's like human flesh.

and you know this how?

Apparently that is "a thing." That humans taste just like pork. But perhaps it's an urban legend!

I know someone who does regularly buy Tripe 🤢
Even worse they also buy something called "Green Tripe" for their dog. It looks like a wet version of the cannister I empty from my hoover and stinks!!!!.

@DrJonesIpresume i assumed battery and eggs were separate on your list and wondering 'woah, who NEVER needs a battery' 😅

😂

I never need to buy batteries anyway - battery purchase appears to be one of DH's obsessions, we have hundreds of the darned things in every available size!

Don't worry @Elley123 I don't eat green tripe.
But I do eat lots of the things mentioned here, like offal, shellfish, olives, squid, goat cheese, fennel etc. 🦑 🐚 🦐 🦞 🦀
We can't all eat and enjoy the same things!

Some things I never buy are...
Cherry tomatoes, too much skin to flesh ratio, I prefer the large vine ripened tomatoes. 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅
Sour dough bread, just tastes sour and dry to me, yet it's wildly popular.
Wafer thin ham, it would be alright if only it wasn't cut wafer thin!

Sunnytwobridges · 15/05/2024 02:52
