What is a food you refuse to try and why?

Raw Fish 😝 Aka Sushi. Animal internal organs and their ding-a-lings 😣.

Dear Roy Roy,

There was a time that I swore I would never eat hog maws and chitterlings (pig stomach and intestine), but I did.

Also swore I would never eat octopus - but I did.

Currently I am drawing the line at head cheese (the brains, blood, eyeballs of pig or cattle, all ground up together and congealed), which people in my part of the world made when you butchered and wasted NOTHING.            So far also, I have not eaten pickled pigs' feet, oxtail soup, nor chocolate covered ants.

However I am only 72 years old...so we shall see...

Grits!

Octopusd or squid

Sweetbreads

Snails

And the list is long...

Soul Food because I hate fried anything.

I'm with KB on this. I'll NEVER eat sweetbreads. Yuk city!!!!!

I've eaten and enjoyed frog's legs but draw the line at snails. That's not very logical since I love prawns and Balmain bugs which probably have a similar texture.

I've never eaten koala or Tasmanian devil but have enjoyed crocodile and kangaroo.

And I haven't yet been hungry enough to eat a dog.

Scallops, lobster, and clams, they all are like chewing rubber bands to me!  Oh, also Rocky Mountain oysters!

Snails, caviar, octopus, squid, anything slimy or gross really.

Black pudding, it looks and sounds horrible!

Corn bread. I just cannot stand the way it tastes or the way it feels in my mouth. BLECK!

Balut. Fertile eggs with a little baby chicken inside. No thanks. Disgusting.

Will never try most bugs: Ants, crickets, grubs...all sounds gross to me, even though I know people eat these.

As for more "normal" food, there's nothing I won't at least be willing to try.

Any plant matter small and slimy. Usually beans and peas and the like. I'm ok with lentiles, and used to love soybeans, but my brother hated soybeans to the point where I couldn't stand his gruesome descriptions any longer. I'm also fine with corn as long as it stays on the cob. I actually love the flavor of grapes, but unfortunately can't stand it due to the above criteria

Raw egg!

I've seen the Korean and Japanese eat for many times. But I think I'll never try it.

I hate seafood, frog legs, lobster and raw egg. I just don't like them.

Raw fishes such as salmon and squid because I eaten some raw salmons, I think it' s interesting taste and I will eat it again.

Meats other than the normal.  My mum left a tea bag in a goat stew that she made the first time I ever had goat and that turned me off any other meats than the normal cuts of beef, lamb, pork and fish.

Hello
Roy! I will never try any dish that has beef or pork in it! I grew up within a
family where we did not consume these meats and I will certainly stick to this
principle until the rest of my days. Do note food that contain chicken or lamb
is eaten occasionally, but in most cases veggies, greens and fruits are on the
menu.
