Food that could taste nice but you won’t try

Another shellfish-phobe here.

I finally gave in and tried lobster last year, and it was absolutely disgusting! I'd love to love scallops, everyone is always raving on about them - but fear the same, and after the lobster experience I'm now even more afraid to try them.

Jellied eel. It’s more to do with what I think the texture would be.

I love valve shellfish (mussels, clams, scallops etc.) but I'm not mad about crustaceans, so generally avoid crab, lobster etc. I like the taste of prawns but not the mouthfeel.

I'll try pretty much anything "normal" once as the "I know I won't like it" thing is just so infantile, but I'm not sure I could get past the gag reflex on escargot.

And obviously that's not getting into the whole global esoterica thing. Wichity grub and whatnot. The whole competitive gross-out thing is of zero interest to me.

Liver is great, fried with a heap of ions, gravy, mash and greenbeans, godly food. Cheap as chips too

Mussels and other valve shellfish. Not going to try them unless I am in a Bear Grills type situation and have absolutely nothing else to eat for weeks.

Peanut butter. the thought of it alone is enough to make me retch.

Thats the stew with sausages as the meat right?

Mickey stew is delicious, but I can see how culchies would be put off by the look.

There's lots of thigs I won't eat at all, but it turns out now that I think about it, that I have tasted them first.

I've never tasted Guinness, and I won't. No matter that I know for certain that it's a cold liquid, it just looks like it would taste of warm sludge. And the strange thing is, I have tasted warm sludge (magic mushrooms in honey and whiskey), and it was fine.

Scallops. Always seem to be a starter on posh menus, but look of them puts me off.

Steak tartare

Burgers, steak, pasta, eggs.

Well, I've eaten a few shop-bought, home-prepared chicken burgers out of politeness, but that's all.

No to beef burgers and steak, yet I grew up on corned beef sandwiches. (I hear they're slightly related. 😉)

I'll eat noodles but not pasta. Maybe it's more to do with the sauces that come with them.

I won't eat whole eggs, no matter how they're cooked but don't mind if they're an ingredient in stuff.

Salad cream ✔️ Mayonnaise ❌

Cheese too. 🤮

I'm sure most of these things are probably okay, since so many people seem to love them, but I can't bring myself to partake. I'm a philistine.

I'd try any food that's not mind altering. Must be my Dublin reprobate upbringing.

Also, don't get the whole "won't try/eat seafood" thing.
