What’s a food you’ve never tried?

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!

I have not tried durian yet.
I hated mango then got some mango in ME for dhandended up eating most of it😂

Meat or fish

MavisPennies · 29/08/2024 21:20

Caviar
Pop tarts
Lobster
Cookie crunch cereal
I'd happily try these but it's never come up

Guinea pig, tripe, durian & heart I've had the opportunity to try but didn't want to

Snails, pickled winkles, pig testicle, octopus, dried squid I've tried but wouldn't have again.

terracottafarm · 29/08/2024 21:21

Anything with animal parts in, such a steak and kidney. My god.

terracottafarm · 29/08/2024 21:21

Also offal!!!

Jewelanemone · 29/08/2024 21:23

Tripe. That's about it really. I'm the polar opposite of a fussy eater and will try anything once. I've just never been in a tripe situation. I suppose I could buy some....

Big Mac
Cheesecake
Subway
Cheese since I can remember eating, apparently I had cheddar once when tiny and threw it back up

Hucklemuckle · 29/08/2024 21:28

Messen · 29/08/2024 19:29

Durian.
Heart (not keen on offal apart from liver)
Rambutan

Rambutan taste like lychees

JC03745 · 29/08/2024 19:32

I'm adventurous with food and will try anything. Jellyfish, hakarl (fermented shark), duck and chicken feet, pig ears, camel, croc, tripe etc.

I've never tried:
-Poutine (I've never been to Canada)
-Hosta plants, yes, apparently you can eat them!
-Surstomming
-Balut

Edited

Second time balut mentioned today. So weird

Fois grois (spl?)

WheresMySupportCat · 30/08/2024 06:55

Daisydoodog · 29/08/2024 20:41

Just seen somebody mention spam. Now that is up there with one of my favorites! Has to be cooked though. Anyone else love/hate it?

Edited

I also said spam. How DO you cook it / eat it? A local chippy does it deep fried which I think might be okay-ish.

One of my friends goes mad over frey bentos pies - it's her standard Friday night meal apparently. I've never had that either.

ShiftySquirrel · 30/08/2024 07:03

I've never had tripe, black or white pudding, but have tasted liver. I wasn't keen.

I will try sea food, and generally like it, but that's a pretty recent thing.
I've graduated from just fish fingers and pilchard curry as a child, to cod, salmon, prawns etc. Now I'll give anything a try.

DH got to the age of 40 before eating pizza, pasta, curry and Macdonald's!

He's still cautious and prefers mild amounts of spice, but eats all the above now.

KimKardashiansLostEarring · 30/08/2024 07:09

Seafood & offal/organs (except whatever rubbish is in Brussels pate as my mum used to give that to me as a young child)

Oh yeah and spam/corned beef stuff. Probably lots of other things too! Always think of myself as a good eater 😁

shellyleppard · 30/08/2024 07:10

Oysters, giant prawns, most offal 🤢

thefamous5 · 30/08/2024 09:22

There's lots that I haven't tried simply because I haven't had the opportunity.

I'll try anything once though though!

Don't love oysters, not keen on the idea of gazpacho but I will try it given the opportunity.

FedUpMumof10YO · 30/08/2024 09:22

Oysters

LynetteScavo · 30/08/2024 14:17

I was telling DH this morning that I've never drunk an Oasis. He tells me they're nice, but I doubt it.
