I'm in my 50s and I've never eaten...

[FridgeJenga]

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?

Aubergine. Decades of watching cooking shows brightly saying, 'salt the aubergine to bring out the bitter juices.' I know seeds have evolved since then, but I just can't.
No lobster, molluscs or eggs/roe. Or snails.

They're horrible, aren't they? I hate the smell.

Whitebait in my mid 40’s lovely in Spain on the coast, hideous in the UK so far.

I've never had butternut squash. Should I bother? I imagine I'd like it if it's similar to things like sweet potato or parsnips.

very inoffensive.

I'm 60. I've never tried any shellfish other than prawns, and never will. Tinned tuna - oh God, the smell... just revolting. Tripe, I couldn't. I've eaten other offal as a child, including black pudding but not since and never again. I will admit to being extremely fussy about meat and fish in general though.

I think I was 45 before I braved peanut butter, and was surprised how much I liked it.

On the plus side, I've never met a vegetable, fruit or cheese that I didn't like.

Butternut squash is very similar indeed to sweet potato. Mashed, you’d probable struggle to know the difference.

I have not eaten mussels or oysters.

Haggis
Tripe
Crubeens ( boiled pig's feet - a "delicacy" in Ireland )
Frogs legs.

@placemats I’m picturing you as Julia Robert’s in Pretty Woman “Slippery little suckers” 😂

@ExtraDecluttering Not a fan of trifle either!

@LongDarkTeatime What exactly is in white sausage I wonder. Maybe safer not knowing!

Just reading through this thread, and pondering, the only things mentioned I’ve never had the opportunity to try are durian and fried insects. I think I’d give both a go but probably am not going to out of my way to do so! I really want to think of a common thing I’ve never tried but I’m struggling.

Oysters or anything with tentacles

Funny you should say that.
I'm not overly fond of bananas but I never felt that they had a bad smell to them.
That is until we started to keep a recycling bin in the kitchen where we put veg peels, tea bags coffee filters and banana peels, for the compost.
Every time I open the bin, the smell of the banana peels is revolting,! Amazingly stinky!

I have found my people.

The smell of milky tea on someone’s breath makes me want to gag.

White pudding is an offal pudding. A bit like black pudding!

Pigeon

Cod roe, Food of the devil.

I'm quite an adventurous eater, so have eaten quite a few of these:
oysters - delicious very fresh, but not otherwise (true of most shellfish, tbh)
black pudding and white pudding - I like both
haggis and tripe - no these were horrible
I haven't tried fried insects, durian fruit or escargots.

As for things I haven't tried, erm, nothing mentioned, I'll try anything, can't think of any foods I actively dislike.

@FridgeJenga 😄

I've never watched Pretty Woman (not sure I want to now).

@FridgeJenga I believe white sausage is just like black sausage but made with milk 🤢 As I’m not a fan of milk either it’s a hard no from me.

Edit after seeing @Mach3 ’s answer. So they’re like French andoillette (sp?) 🤢🤢🤢 I have tried these by mistake and they are truly awful.

Most shellfish.
Brain.
Haggis
Steak tartare

I could not bring myself to try anything that has the word 'fermented' in its description.
I can't even eat overripe pears or bananas so kimchi etc is stomach-churning to me.
I mean, why would you??

Avocado. It will never pass my lips and no, I don't know why

Blue cheese or runny cheese. Barf.

Salami. Looks like a crime scene.

I agree! The smell of overripe banana and banana peel - gross. Not a fan. I don't like plantain either.
