    The spice burger is very nice but I always find bones in them and that turned me off. If the things were made perfectly with no odd-bones they would be 100%
    Never found any bones in them, have eaten hundreds. Were these from a butchers or something? or the original walshes ones. There are copycat ones in shops now too, not as good.

    I remember a guy said he made them working in his local butchers and they were made with raw meat, hope nobody confused them for the cooked ones.

    Never had a Spice burger....... Not gonna start now!

    I just dont get them. Buy them for himself, but. Bleugh..

    Have eaten absolutely everything, I am a foodie, but was too old when they brought out spice burgers.
    Spiceburgers are out since the 1950's, is there an age limit on eating them?! I was saying before I reckon they would be great to stuff a turkey or chicken with.

    Don't think I have had a steak and kidney pie.

    I've eaten pretty well everything that has been mentionded I think. A few things are not worth bothering with - salad cream and sandwich spread being two of them. I don't think I have ever had a batter burger, and I have never had a kebab of the abrakebabra type. Oh and I have never had pigs trotters, I could not bring myself to try them.

    One thing we used get (in England) was ******s. I kid you not. The are like a cross between haggis and white pudding, with gravy, very tasty.

    edit - i have been censored for a food item! It starts with fag and ends with got and is a perfectly legit word for a food item!

    Sushi
    Prawns
    Oysters
    Anything out of the sea pretty much, never will go near any of it. Bluerghhhh.

    Cabbage
    Haggis
    Liver
    Kidneys
    Any form of pate
    I've never had a meat kebab, I've had one with a veggie burger in it, lovely. I'm not veggie anymore but given the choice I'll stick with veggie kebabs.
    Black pudding.
    Cucumber sandwich

    There are probably lots more, I guess I'm fairly picky :)

    what are the most common foods you have never tasted ??

    i never had a crisp sandwich

    Don't bother. They're overrated.

    i like spice burgers so i imagine its similar to them

    I've never tried haggis but I would have thought it'd be more like black pudding than a spice burger (but I've never had a spice burger either).

    I've never had a scrambled, fried or poached egg. Nor an omelette.
    Cucumbers (the smell makes me retch.)
    Pasta.
    Salmon.
    Venison.
    Liver.
    Kidneys.
    Crab.
    Sushi.
    Any sort of burger.
    Coffee.

    Nandos.

    I went into a joint in England a few years ago but left before being served as I couldn't read the menu above the till (I'm perfectly short sighted but have awful trouble reading at distance, and I point blank refuse to wear glasses lest I look like some sort of chimney bottling shrub rocketeer).

    It was only after that I found out they were actually a sit down restaurant and would have a table menu anyway :pac: But most people tend to say they are very pricey and not half as good as some folks make out so I'm probably better off.

    Oh I've never had Nandos either. It does seem pricey.
    I've also never had a kebab. And I doubt I'd ever want to; they look vile.

    PS: I've eaten batterburgers sober, willingly, and they're blooming gorgeous!!
    And spiceburgers.

    You should definitely give peanut butter and jam a shot. On toast. It is delicious!

    The one thing up to this summer I never ate was a fresh fig.... Tried them, but it's not a fig roll! Ha

    Had some in Lyon the other night by chance. Pretty tasty.

    +1 on that. Many years ago (more than I care to mention) we spent several months travelling through South east Asia and it was commonplace for people to bring durian fruit on the busses etc. oh my god. The stink was awful. Apparently it is quite nice if you can get past the smell but I couldn so I've never tried it.

    Nothing like a slab of tripe simmered in milk with chopped onions, a few slices of drisheen and a mountain of floury spuds with butter and black pepper.

    I can't fathom those not eating liver; fine meat packed with vitamins and minerals and can be done a million different ways. Had a load of curried beef liver in India and grilled Turkish lamb's liver in Kurdistan, it's savage tack altogether.

    I can't understand picky eating. How someone could go through life never having eaten something like salmon or cucumber is mental in my eyes.

    I've never tasted a lot of fish apart from cod and haddock. The first time I tasted Tuna I was in my 30's. I never tasted it because I've always really hated the smell of it. But I was ordering a sandwich in a deli and it wasn't until I got back that I realised the girl in the deli had put tuna in it instead of chicken like I'd asked. I was starving so ate it anyway and found out that I'm deathly allergic to tuna! My lips, cheeks and throat started swelling up and I had to be rushed to hospital! I'm wondering if not liking the smell of a certain food is the body way of naturally making you stay away from the foods that would cause you harm?
