Name a somewhat common food...

that you have never eaten.

 

With the big feast day coming close, share what food(s) that might be quite mainstream or normal, that you have never eaten.

 

There doesn't have to be any reason (or share a reason why!).

 

For me, turnips and eggplant. Just never have, no reason.

Parsnip.   "Just never have, no reason."

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

I guess you could add me to the list of turnips, parsnips and any other nips I might have missed.

 

However, I love eggplant in any shape or form.

Re: Name a somewhat common food...

Well I have a large list of common foods I have never ate. I won't mention them as I'm sure a lot of you would think I'm weird. LOL!!!

Never ate Lobster. Don't know why.

Never had a Smores either.

I don't know how common they are but folks seem incredulous that I've never tasted funnel cake...


In my pantry with my cupcakes...

Caviar and escargot. Not common in my circle, but pretty common for others. Never have, never will.  By sight alone I couldn’t gag either one down.

Eggplant and okra.  

 

My dad had us eating raw turnip slices with salt, as little kids, and we loved them.   Both of my grandmother’s loved to cook pots of turnips, parsnips and rutabagas with fresh side meat after we had butchered hogs.

I can't think of anything.  I've probably tried everything at least once.  And of the things I've tried there are only a few I won't eat again ( escargot and raw oysters).

@stevieb

 

I've had a bit of a rough day, and I'm a little giddy at this point, but your post has me laughing out loud for real! 

 

I'm thinking I'm right there with you on the funnel cake. Seen it at the fair, but don't remember ever having any!.

 

What rock are we living under? LOL
