What everyday food have you never eaten/tried?

[pippop1317]

But people wonder how you have got to your age and never eaten it.
Mines Mac and cheese!

Olives

Hot dog. I just can't stand the idea of them. I quite like the veggie ones, or I did until I realised that I was intolerant to one of the ingredients.

I honestly can't think of any other "everyday" food I've not tried.

Prawns

Tripe

lamb,turkey,prawns, most fish except cod and offal. I've been veggie since I was 17 (32 years) - but never ate these foods before.

Tripe
Beef burgers
Frankfurters

Offal
Lamb/duck/goose etc
Prawns
A lot of cheeses
Black pudding
Olives

The idea of them disgusts me.

Turkish delight. Memories of pink glowing stuff from 80s commercials.

Prawns, olives, cheese that's stronger than mild cheddar , pepperoni, tripe, smoked fish, liver, chorizo, steak and kidney pie/pudding, black/white pudding, crab, scallops, mussels, gherkins, Branston pickle, piccalilli. Basically loads of shit

Meat, I was brought up veggie.

A big Mac ( long term veggie since age 15).

Angel delight, smash, faggots out of a tin, findus pancake things. I was in my late 20s before I ever had a pot noodle, packet savoury rice or a KFC.

DP is a child of the 70s and thinks it's hilarious. I am a real foody & very adventurous but never had reason to eat the things above.

Am I the only one shocked by the replies? Does curiosity not get the better of you?

Offal or subsequent products (including Pate, Faggots, Black Pudding etc)
Shellfish
Any fish other than Cod (that was enough to put me off eating anything from water)

There's a fair few veg that I'll never eat again (cabbage I'm looking at you!) but I have tried almost all vegetables and pulses. I'm not keen on meat but have tried a reasonable variety...enough to know that most meats aren't for me and that offal really isn't for me.

On general though I trust my nose. If it smells wrong it's almost certainly going to taste wrong. That's basic science for me and it's not been wrong yet.

Just the thought of some foods curls my toes. And I have no idea why. Especially when I do not know what it tastes like.
I have never eaten a kebab 🤢

Pears, they intimidate me somehow. Asda had them pre sliced in small bags and I decided to try and ease myself in that way, but I’ve never seen those since 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mushy peas. They just look so completely disgusting 🤢
Apart from that there's very little I have tried or indeed, don't like.

Surely tripe is no longer an everyday food?!

Baked beans. Also mushy peas.

Mine is prawns and blue cheeses just cant bring myself to try them.
On a less adventurous note my friends 32 and has never tried custard....

KFC. Never stepped in one either.

I know it's not every day food but oysters and mussels.

Coffee - I can’t go near it - the smell makes me heave.

I try to try most things because there's a huge amount of food I didn't like as a child but discover I like as an adult - garlic bread, pizza, olives, broccoli etc etc. I tried pepperoni and bacon for the first time a few years ago and like those too.
I've still never tried marmalade or things like Branston pickle. And have also never had KFC or been to a Nando's

Nandos
Oysters. Nope.

My great aunt had never eaten pasta. That amazed me as a kid. She just ate mostly home grown simple stuff. No curries, Chinese, etc.
