Tiramisu.

I'm about to try some.
I know I'm not going to like it, but hey ho! 😅

Anything you've yet to try?

I love Tiramisu.

I've never eaten any kind of f
Offal. Or most shellfish.

EBearhug · 02/03/2025 17:01

Tripe

I was in my mid 20s before I tried donner meat and that was only because I was helping a friend out in a takeaway for a while and it felt like 99% of orders contained a ‘pizza kebab calzone’

I didn’t hate it, but don’t feel like I missed out.

Took until my late 40s to try mushy peas.

With reluctance.

Once was enough.

MajorBryantIsAnArse · 02/03/2025 17:01

Black pudding. Haggis. Razor clams.

DustyLee123 · 02/03/2025 17:02

Lobster and oysters.

Black pudding. Haggis. Razor clams.

I have actually tried (and liked) all three of these!

I’ve never tried oysters, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could convince me to swallow globs of salty snot.

Ughouchargh · 02/03/2025 17:04

Come back and tell us when you realise you love it.

I have never eaten oysters or aubergine.

EmmaMaria · 02/03/2025 17:05

In my 60's and I haven't eaten fried insects - I was offered a try in China but nothing on earth could get me past the look of them!!

FadedRed · 02/03/2025 17:05

For Tiramisu lovers, did you know Carte D’or do a lovely Tiramisu ice-cream? It’s very nice.

Thatwouldbeme · 02/03/2025 17:05

Oysters, just don't think I could swallow them down 🤮

Haggis
Black pudding
Oysters

EmmaMaria · 02/03/2025 17:06

Tried oysters. Didn't think much to them, largely because within minutes I was on the floor. Apparently they are the only thing that I am allergic to!

ChompandaGrazia · 02/03/2025 17:07

I’ve never eaten a beef burger.

deathbypiles · 02/03/2025 17:08

Fish, or any type of seafood.
I just KNOW I won't like it, it stinks.
I'm 50 in 4 months.

EggandStress · 02/03/2025 17:09

I've never had kohlrabi. Can't think of much else.

RedFatball · 02/03/2025 17:14

Tiramisu here also, but I hate coffee so unlikely to be a hit...

mamaduckbone · 02/03/2025 17:14

Lots of seafood - cockles, whelks, snails etc. slimy little critters.
I tried an oyster once and that was enough 🤢
Mussels, clams and prawns I can do, but can also live happily without.
