Things I have never eaten.

[andy-hughes]

A recent thread on here about KFC prompted me to think about things I have never eaten - easy enough for me because I have a seriously limited palate - the of a five-year-old is about right for me!

Here is my list - add your own, or comment as you see fit -

1. KFC
2. Pot Noodle
3. Veal
4. Venison
5. Rabit
6. Oysters
7. Offal ( any kind)
8. Yoghurt
9. Sushi
10. Muesli

Samphire and laver bread are both delicious.

[ummmm]

I've never seen it for sale!

Your local fishmonger should have it or he may be able to get it for you

[ummmm]

We don't have any fishmongers left in Northampton :-(

1. KFC -I last had it about 25 years ago....blehhh
2. Pot Noodle -never,and won't
3. Veal -Not since I've been in the UK...used to have quite frequently before coming here
4. Venison -yes
5. Rabbit -not yet-really want to try it
6. Oysters-only the tinned smoked ones-raw shellfish/molluscs don't appeal ( i HAVE had raw clams)
7. Offal ( any kind) ...erm-does liver count as offal?...if not,then no
8. Yoghurt -yes-like it so much I've started making my own Greek style
9. Sushi -adore it
10. Muesli-yes,but wouldn't miss it if it was abolished

I've never had tripe,eel,haggis-want to try that....'unusual 'meats-such as what red has mentioned-I'd try them also-but not the eyes!.....don't care much for calamari or squid-too easy to get them wrong and rubbery.
I agree about pork belly(there's some in the slow cooker now)-it's meat perfection ;-))

Why are there so many against KFC ? is it just the brand or against Southern Fried Chicken in general ?
I have my reservations about the company but the actual dish is great.
I never eat McDonalds burgers but other or home made burgers are fine is it the same with KFC ?

[pastafreak]

My memories of KFC is of chicken that never seemed to be cooked enough...:-0
I've heard that the KFC here in the UK is different from that in the US.....?
I'd rather make my own southern fried chicken-at least I know what's in it.

Odd that you should think five-year olds have a limited diet. When my sons were five years old they had a hugely varied diet. I made sure they never felt limited to any narrow ranges of food. I saw that no dish was ever repeated within a fortnight, and usually, if I could, no dish ever appeared twice in three weeks. I was determined that my sons would never have silly food fads. I regularly announced to them in gleeful tones " we're having something tonight which you've never had before !" and they thoroughly enjoyed telling their friends about things like jambalaya and hot-fruit-salad, real home-made baked beans, striped bread and plantains. And guess what ? They had no food fads then, and now they are grown up they are just as adventurous. Like me, they have the motto - you should give everything a try , except incest and folk-dancing.

10 year old step daughter hates chocolate and crisps and pizza but loves all things fishy including Calamari.

atlanta - when I refer to my palate being that of a five-year-old, i mean I love things like fish fingers, bacon and tomato, soups, chips, burgers, the things you would find on children's menus in restaurants. I appreciate that many children - including mine - have been exposed to far greater varietes of food, but I have no interest in food at all, and would happily take a pill instead of eating.

And before everyone posts about not knowing what I'm missing - please don't waste your time, I have heard it all before.

If you have eaten Mr. Brain's faggots, then you have eaten offal.
The only thing I have not eaten on andy's list is oysters - they look disgusting. Although, I have always thought if you were really hungry you would eat anything in the food line if it was offered to you.

Go and get yourself a kfc bucket with gravy tomorrow keith and you'll never look back. Sorry, I meant andy, don't know why I said keith.

I came home from South Africa for a family reunion. My chosen meal? Faggots and peas.
