Food You've Never Tasted.

Never had aubergines, artichokes, caviar, fois gras, dates, beetroot and i'm sure alot more. Am i missing out on anything here? Would love to try caviar and fois gras just to see what the commotion is about...

Never had caviar. Had sardines for the first time a few weeks ago, my god they are probably the only thing I would never eat again.

I haven't tried 99% of food. I basically eat chicken and steak.

Fresh with a bit of salt. Mmmm. My dad used to grow them

Rabbit and beetroot.
Id be very curious to try rabbit.
Most seafood that Ive eaten turns my stomach so theres alot of it that I dont wanna try.

I've had caviar, not crazy about it.
I've had sardines, love them, and made pate from them a few days ago.
I love Fois gras!
I also love barszcz/borsch/borst which is beetroot soup. Yummy!

Never had blowfish but I will try it.
Neverhad deepfried scorpion but would also be keen.

Never had any house pets and dont plan to.

I made rabbit stew about 6 weeks ago. It was delicious. Very gamey in taste. Think chicken meets venison.

No wonder I got bullied so much in primary school.

I used to have sardine sandwiches every day in primary school. Much to the disgust of my classmates.

Never had lobster before, must get around to trying it.

You can get a frozen one in I think aldi. Very nice.

If you like crab, you will like lobster.

Oh Jesus, surprising to hear of kids liking them!

I love rabbit and anything game. Pidgeon is surprisingly delicious. Best thing I've ever eaten is crocodile steak. Must get that again soon.

I'm a strange man and I was a strange kid.

May I ask, what were the circumstances in which you had them and they were so awful? For me, i either have them fresh off a BBQ in Spain, Portugal, or on the med, or in olive oil from a tin.

I shoot and so, am not averse to game in any fashion. Snipe on toast is lovely.

On a pizza from dominos...

JUst kidding, my dad eats them from a tin so I tasted them! I eat anything and everything, that's the only thing I've had to actually spit out.

I'm a huge meat lover, game plate...nothing but meat. Absolutely delicious!

Personally I'd love to try more game. I've had pheasant (nice enough but a tad dry), rabbit, pigeon, hare & guinea fowl a few times. I've heard squirrel is supposed to be really nice too - apparently there's a good few restaurants in England that serve it, never heard of it over here though, maybe they're not as plentiful. Probably the weirdest thing I've eaten is fried crickets, very popular in some parts of Mexico. A few dozen of the little fellas washed down with a decent mezcal is a surprisingly tasty culinary experience!

Where To

The common cat.

Not knowingly anyways.

alie

Quail , they just don't look right , escargot, ostrich , crocodile or goose.

Ugh, that's scrap!

Once you've had it local and fresh you'll never go back to that rubber again

Oh hell yeah! Same as any fish or meat for that matter. Have caught and cooked lots of different fish and the frozen stuff is no comparison. The flavour and texture is so different!

It wasn't me!

Fond memories of catching mackerel, gutting them on the spot and popping them on a disposable barbecue on the pier from years back. It's really hard to find anything half so good as fish that fresh.

big game lover here too. Do a bit of shooting so there's usually pigeon, rabbit or venison somewhere around. Just took out some loin of venison to thaw for new years this evening.

While there's a few things I've not had that I'd love to try, I really do like trying different foods and am open to lots of ideas so the list is smaller than it might be.

All the films and TV shows talk about lobster as one of the greatest and most expensive things you can order in a restaurant

One day I'll get it.

Next weekend I'm out whest

edit, tips about lobster above ^^^^^

I've never had peanut butter. It just doesn't sound right

Oysters just never appealed to me. Slimy and you slide them straight down your neck. Plus I always hear of food poisonings and food scares regarding same. Never had one.

Never tasted pizza cos I don't like cheese!

steak generally refers to beef

Ive never understood people who wont try any food they can get their hands on, picky eaters, the Irish are very guilty of this, probably because we have no food culture to speak of and food has traditionally been seen as fuel or soakage and nothing else.

phasers

the list is too long, basically I've never had anything weird looking.

Calamari is the only weird looking thing I've ever had, bought it out of a van in Howth. It was pretty good.

You do know one can eat beef steak which is far nicer than pork steaks.

One think I just cannot stand is oysters. Tried them numerous times raw but just cant get them to stay down. Baked no problem but raw is like eating snot

No didn't know that! Just avoid all red meat now... Even the smell of it raw makes me gag.

Try the Rocky mountain ones. Much nicer.

I can't stand oysters either. I can't think of a food I haven't tasted, though. I'm a glutton.

Ah, on Masterchef the Professionals recently the contestants had to prepare a sea urchin. I've never had that and I wouldn't, either. It looked disgusting and from the sounds of things isn't the most subtle of flavours.

I had foie gras soup at a Michelin starred place once, it was absolutely horrible and was the only thing I left untouched after one taste. I even ate the raw oyster that was disguised as a tasty thing but that soup was beyond my limits.

Edit: ^ ordered a "potent surprise" in a Greek restaurant between three of us earlier this year. Slim little slivers of something vaguely meaty in a lemon and thyme sauce. Goat testicles. Flippin' lovely they were too. We demolished them!

Heniz Five Beanz, still trying to get my hands on them.

On my few trips to China I have tried everything that was put in front of me.
Some surprisingly tasty foods look disgusting.

One thing I didn't try was Sea Sausages or sea cucumber both of which look disgusting but are expensive delicacies in China, maybe next time!

I'm having pheasant for the first time today. Looking forward to it.

padd b1975

Almost everything off a chinese menu, apart from curries and ribs.

RoutineBites

I'm not the worst for trying things. I haven't eaten a huge amount of foods which I would deem as unbearably rancid either.

Being made taste Vegemite by an Aussie would be up there however. I simply cannot see how any one would enjoy it. It tastes like a mouthful of salt-water and leaves you with this horrible acrid gel on your gums for hours.

Fussy eaters annoy the hell out of me. My mother is fussy, drives me nuts. I think Irish people are super fussy with food compared to others, so many people don't eat fish or seafood and we're an island.

Did you ever try a Century Egg? That's one of the few foods I've heard of that I'd definitely draw the line at.

What difference does it make to you... You can still eat what you want... Isn't that all that matters?
