What food have you never eaten but would really like to try？

Real Italian pizza pie
Real Hungarian goulash
Real Russian borscht
Real French gâteau de glacé
None of that commercial, mass-produced crap.
 

Lobster dipped in butter sauce is the bomb (very good). Recently I've partaken of the Steak and Lobster offerings at the local Sizzler restaurant. Sardines in mustard sauce were one of my favorites but I stopped eating them when the last canning plant in the U.S. was closed. I've never had frog legs but am interested int trying them. Don...

One of these days, I'd like to try Durian fruit. It's supposed to smell horrible but taste good. I'm willing to try it because.....well, just because.

Off Cornwall (S W England), They used to catch Pilchards. They they discovered if they called them "Cornish Sardines", they could export them and charge a lot for them.

Tommy - I'm almost sick of Gooseberries. Our gooseberry bushes cropped so heavily last year, we've still got lots of them frozen. We've made jam, pies and crumbles and we've still got loads of them. I should really try making gooseberry wine.

Several years ago we went to the last operating mustard mill in America. It was either in Lubec or Eastport, Maine (can't remember which). There were close to a dozen mills operating in that area at one time, solely to produce the mustard for packing sardines, mostly in Canada. Apparently in the early 1900's that was the preferred form of sardines in Canada and the US.
 
i've never eaten sheeps brain,, but hubby says its nice and sweet...so i would like to try it ....
hes eaten lots of exotic food, as hes worked in exotic places....
 
I've been a vegetarian for a long time and STILL have cravings for anchovies. I used to make sandwiches with crisp lettuce and 3-4 anchovies, I just LOVED them.

I've never had Scotch eggs but would love to try them but I'm sure the only way I'll ever get them is by making them myself most likely for a crowd. I also would like to try elderberries. Never even seen one. How about Scotch eggs followed by elderberry tart? No?

I LOVE SCOTCH EGGS!
 
:unsure:
I have tried several different types of food..not sure what food I would like to try. I have already tried soo many and some, I will not try again. Years ago, a friend and I tried to eat raw oysters, she succeeded but I couldn't do it. However, I LOVE fried and broiled oysters.
 
I've eaten every kind of vegan food I've ever been interested in, and then hit my kitchen to vastly improve on the recipes others served me. Fun.

You carnivores have really turned my stomach, tonight. Sorry, but that's the truth. I had to skip to the end of this thread, after skimming only a few early posts.

I won't get preachy, not my style, but, man, I'm so damn tempted.......

Ah, Romanesco. I wouldn't bother, it's just a fancy cauliflower and pretty tasteless. I wouldn't worry about lobster either - I've eaten plenty and I think they're over-rated. I prefer brown crab.

I've never eaten goat meat, but I'm told it's very nice.

dude...goat meat is like shoe leather and smells weird. just so you're forewarned. lol

I can't think of any food that I'd like to try, I'm fortunate that I've been able to try most exotic foods and food from nmany different countries I've visited.. ... there's bound to be lots of foods in exotic countries I've never tried that I'm not aware of....so unless I travel to them, then for now there's nothing I would yearn for...

ever had shark?
 
I've eaten a lot of foods that I wish I hadn't. My husband is an exotic foodie. He has to try anything unusual, so I've been sucked in to eating things I never wanted. My list of never again:
escargot {eeewwww}
raw oysters
boiled okra
alligator {deep fried tail}
soft shelled turtle
frog legs~the guys used to go frog gigging at night. One time they got some and came back to our house and cooked them at 2AM. Speaking of gross~ when you fry fresh frog legs~they move in the pan.
squirrel {buckshot}
turtle soup {tastes like chicken}
hot peppers
calamari
crayfish

Not so bad foods:
goat {it was barbecued}
moose {like pot roast}
bison {like beef}
duck

I can't think of anything I want to try that I haven't.

One common food that comes to mind is shelf-stable milk in 6.75-ounce containers.

I don't use much milk these days and this would be very convenient for me if it tastes like the real thing.

Have any of you used this or a similar product?

I haven't had this particular brand but, I've had Silk soy milks and Almond breeze almond milk. I look for the unsweetened stuff and I don't notice much difference. Tastes like milk to me. I LOVE the Silk chocolate milk! I use almond milk for my protein shakes and to make hot chocolate. They have a longer shelf life than regular milk, too. Now I wanna see if our supermarket has that stuff you have pictured there. I wanna try it.

yes I have. I lived on the continent for many years and (unlike here) shark is easily available there caught fresh from the sea and straight into the fish markets and restaurants.. It's pretty meaty but fairly bland... I only had it a couple of times, and I'm pleased that I stopped because I heard people complaining that it sometimes tasted of ammonia. Apparently sharks pee through their skin so if you have to wash it very carefully before eating it and some restaurants and consumers weren't doing that.

Also like swordfish it's very high in Mercury...although I must admit to having had a lot more swordfish than Shark... but I stopped eating that too after a while after learning about the mercury content..

We don't have that brand here but I only ever use Long life milk now instead of ''fresh'' milk.... have done now for about 10 years. It all came about because when I was working long shifts I kept running out of milk and no time to get to the shops to get more, I thought I'd hate the long-life milk because I've always really detested the taste of UHT milk.. and the smell... but the long-life milk is somehow different to the Stinky stuff... so I have skimmed long life milk..I buy it in boxes of 6 litre cartons ( 2 pints)... , it last for months unopened.. and you treat it like fresh milk once you open it..

Buy a small carton of 2 different types to try Bea ... see how you like it.. it tastes just like normal milk... (except the strong tasting UHT milk)

we were the same, too many gooseberries growing in the bush, so we uprooted it. Hubs used to make some wine with it but that ended quite quickly, and there's only so much jam and pies ( and anyway I don't like fruit pies) you can make, so we dug up the gooseberry bush a long time ago

I've had frog legs in Paris France in a Chinese restaurant of all places... they tasted of nothing really.. they need a strong flavoured sauce on them which is probably why they're popular in the French Chinese restaurants..

I was born and raised in New Orleans: raw oysters are good, but they're OH so much better fried! And on nice, crispy French bread...

As for what I'd like to try, I've always wanted to have eel pie, or just plain eels. I've heard them mentioned in a book or three, always with superlatives...
