I was going to start this after Pads posted in the Coffee Shop thread as his list will be hilarious having me and Beaneh in disbelief in Marbella (post it Patrick :P).

So yeah, share in here the things that most people just assume everybody will have tried at least once that you have never had.

I'll start with a few of mine :

Coffee - As mentioned in The Coffee Shop thread I just can't stand the smell of it
Marmite - Just looks vile, can't do it
Mustard - Similarly the smell puts me off completely

Also what food or drink's do you regularly have that others will probably find weird ?

We have a family tradition of putting raw Onion on a Sunday dinner, all the Males in the Family have it and all love it, but I've never heard of anyone else doing that, my Grandad would regularly eat a full raw Onion like it was an Apple, thankfully that one didn't get passed down.
I used to be slightly obsessed with putting brown sauce on everything, brown sauce sandwiches, just have brown sauce on it's own, end up sickening myself with it though, don't have it much now.

Dont really have anything that I have never had, but I refuse to eat eggs despite trying many times, they just taste godawful whether theyre boiled, fried or scrambled. Even gone off the yolk which I could stomach as a kid.

Never had a fillet steak though for reasons ive gone into before.

Two things I can't stop eating though atm are fish finger sandwiches and a different sandwich. Fish finger sandwich has to be toasted bread with three fish fingers, pinch of salt and pepper, pinch of Aromat and tommy k obv. Been given another variation to try which might happen this weekend.

The other sandwich is pretty much what I eat in work every day. Two slices of bread, four slices of Pork Luncheon meat and Salad Cream lashed liberally all over it. Fkin weird, I know!

Lolz, I was thinking I'd remember more things once others put theirs up, but I've no idea how I could forget eggs, there is nothing I detest more.

Never had eggs, but once had one accidentally put on my Fry Up, and as it had contaminated other items on the plate I spent the rest of the day feeling sick from the taste left over.

Truly horrid things, I'd gladly drink 10 cups of Coffee before I'd go near an Egg.

Nobody will find Fish Finger sandwiches weird surely, obv they incred, lot of love been shown for them on here previously, most pubs sell them up here.

What are the reasons for the steak?

Onions for me. Can't stand the texture of them, makes me dry heave.

Also, Southern Comfort. Even the smell of it makes me become 17yr old Hutch chun feeing his little brains out in the park again.

You've never had any of these?

You're amazing me today Arb :D

Marmite is a staple for kids, surely you had it as a baby?  I did, used to like it but can't stand the smell now.

I can't believe there's normal things out there that people have never even tried.  I can't stand the smell and taste of Whisky but I've tried it (more than once).  There's tonnes of things I don't like but I've tried them to say I don't like them.  Why don't you just try them?

I can't recall ever having hummus before.  Until a couple of years ago I thought it was mushrooms (which I'm not keen on either)  Can't think of anything else though.

I thought the thread title was "No STD for me" and Mondatoo was relieved.😀

Can't stand runny eggs. Don't mind well done ones that bounce on your plate.

Never had any of these ever in my life knowingly.  You can add Milk to the list as well from the age of five.  I had it at school under Maggie's free milk govt and hated it and have never had it neat again on cereal and/or as a drink. 

Vast majority of these are purely on smell.  I struggle to understand how you can hate the smell of something but enjoy eating it.

eggs as well for me

only just in last few years been able to stand to cook them for someone else.

smell that does it

Tried eggs at various points over the years, but never gotten on with them.

Wish I did, because Eggs Benedict looks abs incred!


Can't stand Tea, but can't think of anything that I don't like, but haven't tried.

Probably can't, fair point I guess.  I would just assume it's only natural to wonder what they taste like.  Surely tea doesnt' have a bad smell?  It hardly smells at all.

Go on, you know you want too ;)


It's a gift, a wonderful gift.

Tea is just a lot more of the hassle of waiting for the kettle to boil so i have never been a fan of hot drinks full stop.  Can add hot chocolate to the list as well actually.  I never like waiting for a drink when i want one so i just always had cold drinks.  Simple as that really.

Looking forward to Pads list.

Pesto is disgusting too.

lol. cant be serious saying soup is a meal.

clearly a hot drink.

Depends what kind of soup you eat.  If you have a decent bowl of my gran's home made soups you will struggle to eat a main course afterwards. 

I don't eat mass produced soups or cup a soups (if they still exist).

pretty sure my nans soup is better than your nans soup.

Wouldn't mind trying it.

Prawns.

Actually, there are many things I never eat - burgers, sausages and beef come to mind. Never tried a kebab. Never tried any kind of shellfish.

But prawns are my nightmare. I can't even bear to be with someone who is eating them, though I have had to do so many times. If one ever gets on my plate, I will throw out the whole meal. Even thinking about them is putting me off my dinner now. Why did I start writing about them?

Hot milk and custard are my betes noires.

Oddly I quite like a cold custard tart and I'm fine with cold milk.

I like hummous and was interested to learn that it has become such a staple in recent years that there is now/was recently a world shortage of chickpeas.

Skol/Carlsberg/Tuborg/Fosters/Carling, anything that describes itself as Lager but is served from a pressurised keg or can.
Any beer that proclaims itself to be a 'smooth bitter', or that makes a selling point out of needing to be served extra cold.

I've tried these, but would rather drink post-mix Coke than any of them.

Can't stomach tequila at all.  Literally makes me hurl every time.  I would really struggle to name a food that I have been offered and haven't eaten.  Some Chinese deserts are pretty inedible, but they aren't going to count as regular food here.

On the drinks front, never drunk wkd or any other drinks of that genre.  Suspect the closest I have got is flavoured vodka shots.

Edit you can add Bacardi breezers to that list too.  What is that about?   And all those Swedish flavoured ciders.  And 20/20, simply no idea what is in that or the differences between it and fairy liquid.  Didn't realise I was such a fussy git!   

Tango/Sunkist fizzy orange, always hated it as a kid. Love fresh oranges/juice and squash though.

With you on this, love oringina though.

Shocked at how many people are saying eggs! I have 4 for breakfast sometimes!

Way too tilting, like reading a thread for 5 year olds who only eat chicken nuggets and chips

I agree with this chap, literally all the time (except politics). :-)

No foreign food.

No veg (except potatoes & peas)

No salad (except  beetroot)

Just good, wholesome, English food.

And as for coleslaw, I'd die if it ever entered my body. Food of the devil, coleslaw.

Should prob cut out the lar-tays too - pesky foreign beverages

Disappoints me, thought we were both on some kind of pseudo socialist continuum :-)

Edit: even when I'm trying not to be rude I sometimes manage it - pseud is for me, less for you generally I think

I have never had a Guinness, quite happily sat in Temple Bar Dublin with a fruit cider. It just looks horrific to me!

I eat and have ate basically everything although for some reason Spreading Cheese makes me nautilus, I am sure i had it as a child but now it gives me the fear.

Oh yes - no alcohol. Ever. Abstaining is the key to staying young & virile. 

That made me chuckle.

If we had a blonde Rude Championship, you'd be 8/11 favourite to win it. Mantis is a lively outsider & can be backed at 5/1, fwiw. 

It appears to require no effort, & you do it so well, you are the Messi of rudeness, it's wonderful to behold.

Coleslaw and Guinness two more to add to my list!

Don't mind a bit of coleslaw, when I'm having Nandos.

Guiness is a good Sunday tipple, not that I drink nowadays.

I think it's the opposite. Even when he's trying to appear rude, you can see the bump in his cheek where his tongue is sitting.

I can't think of any standard food/drink I have not tried. I can't stand the taste of mushrooms, I am fine with them if you disguise the taste in a spag bol or similar but on there own they are the devils food.

I can't think of anything I don't like except stuff that's not really food like oysters or snails.

Prawns, Southern Comfort and drambuiuiuiuioiuioiuie

All work of the devil.

This.

Have you never had a beer or glass of wine Tony? In all those years?

No beer since my 21st  birthday.

Maybe 6 glasses of wine in the last 47 years, mainly for the sake of politeness in company. I pretend to like it, but I'd rather have a glass of Tizer.

only things i cannot eat are mushy peas.smell,texture and look all put me off and then you get peoe munching on them around me explaining how great they are.no thanks.think its down to the mother steeping and boiling for hours when i was a kid....yuk

I can't believe that a man with your alias doesn't like mushy peas.

I can't think of any food that I have tried that I wouldn't eat again. Tea/coffe i drink both and probably far too much of both. Alcohol is Beer and Morgans spice, occassional whisky or port (I love port) cannot be doing with all the shot stuff and wkd/bacardi breezer stuff. We have regular team nights out and they are all tequila (in Scotland?) jaegerbombs etc. Not for me I'm afraid.

I have a little vice I must confess......................I do quite a bit of cooking at home, currys/stews/stir frys especially. I use balsamic and different flavoured vinegars and worcester sauce almost on a daily basis. When i do, I MUST take a quick swig before returning the bottle to the pantry.

Geo

Tried most things.

Don't eat fish or seafood, haven't done for 30 years probably.

I have always found snails with garlic butter delicious, frog's legs too.

I used to adore oysters until I had a dodgy one at an extremely expensive retaurant in London a few years ago and spent the entire night alternately throwing up and vacating my bowels in the most violent manner imaginable.

I've not had the inclination to try them again since.

Hello David,

Can you expand on this please?  I'm not much of a larger connoisseur but do like coors, estrella & Heineken.  Are these from pressurised kegs?  how do you tell!

Sorry for all my questions, just interested to know more.

Have a read of this http://www.camra.org.uk/about-real-ale

I tell by taste, and by the headache that comes from taking in too much gas with my beer.
There are some craft or micro breweries that produce lagers but none of your likes are amongst them.
it's a matter of taste and choice so if you enjoy what you drink, who am I to say you shouldn't?

Mushrooms, eggs and mushy peas for me. I'm fine with regualar garden peas though

i will eat most things, Marmite and peanut butter prob the exceptions to the rule. Cant drink Pernod.

I didn't eat eggs 'till I was 21 then was convinced to try eggs benedict and have never looked back, so good! Fried egg and bacon sandwich too, as long as the yolk is runny


Def agree with this. I was told that it tastes much nicer in Dublin so I did have another go there but its exactly the same.

I see, so generally mass produced lager will be from pressurised kegs, I assumed all lager is like that.  I do like real ale but i would call that bitter?  Leeds Pale is readily available in leeds... obv... and is one of my favourites, but also like trying whatever is on in a few pubs near work. 

Haven't had Leeds Pale but from what I read I am pretty sure I'd enjoy it :)

Peas

tasted them once when very young

Never, ever again.

Bananas because they make me gag, I love the flavour which is a shame.

Tofu because it's pointless and the texture is a bit horrible.

Not gonna eat slugs or oysters either.

Queen, on principle.

i tried tofu for the first time the other day, didn't think it was that bad, granted it was drenched in sweet chilli sauce so that prob helped!

Quorn, not queen

Really cant stand this stuff.

Bananas are another thing I cant eat. The texture....  :-X :-X :-X

Nobody has ever said 'oh more Cauliflower please, I really like the way it tastes like mouldy earth'

Horrible stuff.

Even when my parents tried to trick me by presenting it as some sort of cheese based dish.

You've never truly farted until you've had a large helping of coleslaw. It's worth eating for that experience alone.

Don't like Coffee, Guinness, Whisky, Ketchup, Baked beans, Marmite, Peanut butter

Another selection of good ammunition, especially when consumed as part of one meal.

I beg to differ. I love cauliflower. Raw or cooked just fine and dandy by me.

Has anyone ever asked for more sprouts?

I've never asked for the first lot, nevermind more!

More sprouts too please!

My old man loves sprouts.

The rest of the house hates them :)

Liver. Force fed it once when I was a kid. I was ill for days and now can not even look at it/smell it without fear of retching up.

Never eaten seafood,  just can't face it, even lobster or crab.

Have tried and don't like courgette, or Snozzcumber as I prefer to call it.
Aubergine is pretty similar imo.
