For no particular reason?

DS just told me he had the nicest pot noodle ever earlier🤣 The flavour did sound quite nice, then I realised I’ve never had a pot noodle for some reason!

Oysters however are delicious, highly recommend with a little lemon juice squeezed on raw

I beg to differ. There’s a very good reason why in Victorian times, oysters were considered poor people’s food.
They’re so much nicer cooked.

Oysters - I love fish and shellfish but I don't want to eat oysters.

Subway- it smells funny and I've now made it a thing to see if I can live my whole life without eating one.

Tripe - although no one has never tried feeding this to me.

I didn't eat a Pop Tart until I was about 40 and then was very surprised how delicious they are!

skippy67 · 29/08/2024 20:03

Lamb. The smell of it makes me heave.

Daisydoodog · 29/08/2024 20:04

@LynetteScavo ooooh I love subway! I’ve never had KFC

If it counts, I've never had a KFC. It isn't that I never eat fast food, it's just that there always seems to be something more appealing than KFC in situations where I might want that kind of thing, e.g.motorway services. I do intend to try it one day; there will come an occasion when the stars align for it!

Sethera · 29/08/2024 20:05

@Daisydoodog x-post with you on KFC 😁

LynetteScavo · 29/08/2024 20:06

I know you said for no particular reason, and I also know I gave reasons...but most foods I'm very keen to try, so feel I have to justify why I haven't tried oysters etc, when in reality the occasion has just never occured.

abbey44 · 29/08/2024 20:06

KFC, or any similar things. I can’t bear chicken skin and the thought of biting into it inadvertently under the crunchy coating makes me want to gag. (Same goes for skin on fish too, so I always have to ask about it in fish & chip shops)

Daisydoodog · 29/08/2024 20:07

@Sethera I agree! I’ve just never fancied it. I can drive past a McDonald’s or Burger King and think “mmm”🤣 but have never done that with a kfc. Might have to give it a go😁

Coca cola

Rubyandscarlett · 29/08/2024 20:09

Oysters, mussels, jellied eel.
I like fish but none of these appeal to me at all

Sidebeforeself · 29/08/2024 20:11

Ramen
Taramasalata
Pigeon, guinea fowl - anything birdy except chicken ( I cant explain this)
Gazpacho ( COLD soup?! Are you mad?!)
Herring, trout etc

susiedaisy1912 · 29/08/2024 20:12

Snails

susiedaisy1912 · 29/08/2024 20:13

And jellied eels

Monster munch. Does it still exist?

Oh, yes, indeed! Recommend the beef flavour if you want to try it.

HeyMicky · 29/08/2024 20:17

Insects
Testicles
Camel
Guinea pig

Mostly because I haven't visited the countries where these are regularly eaten

familyissues12345 · 29/08/2024 20:20

Mango.

I just can't stand the flavour of it in juice or anything, so I've never tried the actual fruit. Even the thought of it turns my stomach!

GoldPlayer · 29/08/2024 20:22

Frogs legs, snails, (don't think I could)
But would like to try some great caviar

KatheKollander66 · 29/08/2024 20:22

I've never eaten peanut butter.

rzb · 29/08/2024 20:26

@Sethera I'm content to live in monster munch ignorance. In my mind, monster munch is entwined with the terrifying (to a small child) Sugar Puffs 'honey monster' adverts.

I've not had honey puffs, either.
