Mine is tongue. Once mistakenly ate a salad with what looked like raw furry bacon bits in it. Was gross. Learned it was cow tongue afterwards.
Other no, never stuff: oysters. Ugh. Did it once, tasted like cold semen.
Snake. I will never knowingly eat snake.
Milk. I refuse to drink milk. Hate it.
Anyone else got no, never, foods or drinks?

I'd eat most of the stuff on this thread. Some of it I think tastes pretty awful, baked beans in tomato sauce - Heinz are vile but make your own Boston beans version and they are lovely but I'd eat the Heinz shit if I was hungry enough.
I've had one oyster to try, it was fine...could get too excited, I declined the second, dh and ds are passionate about them...have eaten a dish of duck's tongue in France we had no idea what it was till we'd finished and googled it, it was lovely.
Tripe in milk was fairly dull, we were warned off ordering it and brought out a taster portion, we all agreed that it was probably best kept in the kitchen, not awful just dull.
We ordered grits in America, the kitchen staff all laughed as did the waiting staff - but we insisted, it was like eating sand, only for the really poor folk they said.
Cooked a very thick steak last weekend, the meat in the centre was raw, barely warm...I was a little worried that the dcs would scream foul and they'd insist that we cooked it more but they loved it.
We're lucky the dcs will try anything - they won't eat everything but we encourage them to try try it.
Dd only has one definitely no food and that's mushrooms but I still cut them up small and spike her food, some day she'll thank me!

You've just reminded me of something else boaky and vom-inducing that I will never eat again. In Paris at a vair important business lunch (years ago) I asked what the strange white stuff was thinking it was some sort of yoghurt by which time the first forkful was in my mouth. God that took a lot of swallowing when honoured guest pointed to his head and kept saying 'the meat, the meat.' I couldn't spit I had to swallow - it was BRAINS.

Eggs, I can't get over what they are and the texture is nasty. If it is hidden in cake or whatever I can eat them as long as no one mentions it.
Seafood, the sea equivalent of spiders and beetles, what's not to love 
Mushrooms, I have tried them so many times in so many ways and I just don't like them.
Weird meat, anything reformed, chopped and shaped, mechanically separated.
I find it really hard to eat fish. I think of all the ways we kill animals to eat, fishing seems cruelest.
Bananas, like mushrooms I want to like them but my mouth just rejects them.
Offal.

The only thing that I will never ever eat again is andouillette, or its larger cousin andouille. French sausage made with minced intestines. Tried it once, was tricked into eating it once more... I'll willingly eat just about anything (though I'm not one to choose chips or baked beans), but as for that, never again!

I'm going to Pairs soon, I'm now concerned about what I might accidentally eat! I think I'll play it safe and stick to croissants.
