Is there anything you won’t eat ?

I'd have to live on bread or starve if I lived in France, all those frogs and snails......urgh, I can't and wouldn't eat welks either.

I've had some very nice meals in France - they do eat things other than frogs and snails !
I've also eaten quite a few whelks too, though they're not exactly my favourite.
I'm probably the only person who doesn't like pizza and I wouldn't rush to eat tofu either.

Any item of food you’ve never even tried but just know you would not like it ?

With me it’s Marmalade, although I love oranges, marmalade has never appealed to me and another is Oysters, ugh I just couldn’t have one of them slithering down my throat ! 😝

I agree about the oysters, Wrennie, but I do like me marmalade.:D
 
I won't eat Sushi or any type of meat raw. I won't even touch it.
When I was a kid & saw how our cat went crazy for "Tender Vittles," I just had to try some. It had no flavor. Same with kibble - it was like eating wood. And after our dog went crazy for raw hamburger.....same thing. Yes, I was lucky.

Steak Tartar!

From what I understand, raw steak is safer than raw or rare ground beef because the e-coli stays on the outside if the beef is not ground.
 
My Mom cooked everything well done. The first time I saw roast beef that was still pink being served at a buffet, I couldn't believe people would eat that. Now, I enjoy a medium rare steak.

Liver is something I would never eat. My Husband loves it so when I cook it for him I sit near a window so I won't even smell it !

When I was a carnivore (a looooong time ago) I used to LOVE liver, fried with onions and thrown over rice.

Even then I would not eat frogs or sushi or any of the weird foods listed here. I've also, even now, cannot eat the pasta ''orsi'', for some reason just looking at it makes me want to puke.

When I was a kid, I ate liver - smothered in catsup. Yeah...the interesting smell is a hint that you're eating an organ that filters toxins.....
 
Speaking of things we won't eat:
I saw something interesting on a TV special: (No, not the usual eating dogs & rats & horses in other countries)
In Thailand, there are places where people pay a lot of money to drink raw Cobra blood. The blood is believed to help married couples who are having trouble conceiving. The (asinine) reasoning is: Cobras give birth to many young at a time, so these people believe that quality will be transferred to the married couple who want children.

I didn't know that about liver back then, I do now. :sick:

Funny thing is, my vet told me that the best kind of wet food to give my pets was organ meats. Being a vegetarian, it's disgusting for me to handle wet pet food, but I know that the animals need it and they can't follow my diet choice. In fact, cats will not eat anything else and they can get sick (or blind) if they don't get their meats, something about a vitamin only available in meat.

Yes, cats are what's called "Obligate Carnivores" which means they'll eat nothing but meat, unlike dogs which are mostly carnivores & partly omnivores; they'll eat almost anything if they have to. It's interesting - every living thing uses carbohydrate for energy - the digestive system in cats is set up to break down protein into carbohydrate.
 
I like liver and kidney, but I don't like haggis. (vegetarians look away now - it contains the liver heart and lungs of a sheep + other ingredients and stuffed into a sheep's stomach). I believe you can't get it in the USA because of the lungs. You can get 'Vegetarian' ones, but they're not real haggis.

I really like 'Black Pudding' which contains pig's blood, though it's difficult to get a good traditional one. There's only a few things that I wouldn't try, although plenty of things that I didn't enjoy. I don't really like pumpkin or similar squashes.

At some point in my life, I've tried most of the foods listed in this thread (not brains or cobra blood ... yet). Some I haven't cared for and wouldn't want to eat again, but I'm usually a pretty good sport when it comes to trying something new.
