Although I’m not surprised black pudding is on here I absolutely love it and so do both my kids. I’m assuming people are mostly put off by what it is and they haven’t even tried it. I’ll try anything once....except dog...I just can’t bring myself to ever even th8nk about it. I don’t get the big deal over tofu. Hate the texture and taste. And kale....literally tastes like your eating leaves 🍁

DH loves a sherbert fountain Gentle. He loves kids sweets. When the Pick and Mix goes half price in Wilko every school holiday he goes in and fills the biggest cup as full as he can. Hmm

I have never tried black pudding but it looks really unappealing before you even start to think what it is.

Sophisticatedsarcasm definitely makes a fry up, I always get an extra black pudding with mine. Stornoway black pudding smothered in tomato sauce, aah heaven!

Blimey. Is there anything you do like zukiecat? That is quite a long list. Do you struggle to find something you like when you go out to eat?

Only two things mentioned on thread so far that I can’t eat.

Quorn and tofu!

Can you tell I am not a vegetarian?

I would never consciously order anything with celery in it, but could it it to be polished if someone played it up.

I meet some people with such restricted diets I genuinely wonder how they ever manage to eat out? We had to entertain a supplier for work recently and try to find somewhere that served something he would eat was a nightmare

Sparkling, I almost choked on a Sherbert Fountain in my youth. Emptied the entire contents (less the liquorice) into my mouth at once.

Not one of my finer moments!
