What “popular”food have you never even tasted?

I have never eaten a McDonalds burger or anything from KFC.
These are what I would call ‘popular’ rather than things like snails and octopus.

I’ve tasted most things, but I’d never again eat whelks, snails, horse meat, squid or steak tartare.

I’ll eat (almost) anything once and most things I eat will be repeats. Rare for me to dislike anything although I’m not keen on marzipan, sprouts and snails!

Oysters, I don't think I've any desire to eat anything that comes out of the ocean raw.

I hadn't tried Nutella until recently, I wouldn't buy it for my children, but when grandchildren requested it recently, I caved in. I didn't think I'd like it, but what a revelation it's deeply moreish, I have been known to use it in sandwiching a chocolate sponge cake or two together.

I should NOT have opened this thread

Was going to have Lamb Tagine tonight, but nope - it's a kebab for us now! I've not even got the ingredients in for a home made "elephant's foot", so will have to send DH off to the local kebab shop.

As for popular foods I've not tried. Well, I think I've tried most of the popular ones, although a fair few, only once! I didn't like Sushi at all. I was given a gift card for Nandos after confessing that I'd never had one. Well now I have had one. I won't be having a second . Scallops I've had once, but wouldn't rule out having them again.

Doner kebab
Sushi
Oysters
Lobster

A pot noodle! I bought one once, intending to see what I was missing. Opened it, poured in the water, took one look and tipped it in the bin!

Kippers

Kebab
Octopus
Horse meat
Sushi

I really get on my husband's nerves because I am so reluctant to try different foods, he will give most things a go.

Lobster, oysters, horse, kebab meat.

But I HAVE tried jellyfish and stinky tofu. The first was not good, but the second was nice!

I will always try an ingredient or food item, if you do not try how do you know whether or not you like or dislike it?

Steak

Redhead56 my husband is allergic to crab, cod, haddock, salmon and tuna. He is fine with lobster, clams, prawns, sea bass/bream and plaice. Work that one out! He really misses fish and chips. These allergies suddenly kicked in when he hit 60.

I’ve never had a McDonalds and never will.

I do try things (mostly) before dismissing them, and I just can't stand avocados or blue cheese. We don't go for fast food, but I have had and enjoyed KFC in the past.

Mussels.

Will try most things once so have had all the popular stuff except that horrible looking ‘meat’ referred to as a doner kebab. I wouldn’t try the blue ice cream that children seem to love.
I will not eat insects, vermin, dog, cat or horse but fortunately none of these are popular in the UK

Toad in the hole..sausages in batter seems very odd to me ,its certainly not something I ever came across as a child,in fact sausages in my mind are breakfast food..usually square sausage on a roll .I cant even bring myself to try the batter with sausage in it I always think it must be greasy and uninspiring .

Same here, on both counts.
I don't think that I've even seen snails or octopus on a menu.
I haven't eaten an omelette either, or scrambled, fried or poached eggs.
There are probably lots of types of fruit too that I haven't tried.
I've tried cat food though!

Anything from MacDonald's, KFC or Pizza Hut.

I have eaten octopus, from a tin, once.

How strange, a lot of things people here shun I really like
Love a pot noodle if I m looking for a snack
I think I ve eaten everything at one time or another although I stopped eating meat a few years ago I didn’t like sushi when I tried it and have never been anywhere where snails were on the menu
Certainly tried all modern food like macD s Nando’s pizzas kebabs and kfc when I did eat meat
I will try anything once I can’t think of anything I ve been offered and not tried once
I bought a tin of jackfruit to try but didn’t like it but it may have been the make or something I ve never seen a ‘live’ jackfruit to buy
What are humbles then ?

I’ve eaten practically everything, love oysters to bits but when we were in Vietnam I wouldn’t eat “chien” woof woof or those deep fried tarantulas they have in Cambodia. Only one of our party tried those. I haven’t eaten durian but have had a durian drink.

I just can't take olives for some reason....yet I'll try most other things--oysters I can take or leave, but love most other fish and seafood. Have tried crocodile meat and mopani worms...OK, but wouldn't make a regular thing of it.
Love most veggies and meats and would settle for a proper roast beef dinner with the trimmings any day!!!

I've never had a kebab.
I think humbles may be a word for offal - heart, lungs, liver etc - from ‘humble pie’, a medieval meat pie.

I've never eaten - Nando's, mushy peas, jellied eels, sushi

I couldn't bring myself to try a Deep Fried Mars Bar. That intense blast of fat and sugar would probably finish me off!
