Is there a popular food that you have never eaten? For whatever reason, you've just never gotten around to tasting it.
For me, it's peanut butter.
I keep meaning to buy a jar but I never remember to. Every so often it will pop in my head, but I've still never tasted it and experienced for myself why it's so popular π€·ββοΈ
I don't think there's a food I haven't tried, unless its not available in the US.
shareMushrooms. Their consistency always grossed me out it would be like eating an eraser. FYI excluding a couple of magic mushroom trips last century.
shareThere are a lot of "food fads" and I don't find any of them appealing. Especially the trend towards "extra spicy" items.
The latest fad (in the U.S.) is the chicken sandwich. I like chicken sandwiches, but not the varieties that the restaurants are pushing today. It seems they are obligated to make everything "spicy" or "hot." Wendy's has the "JalapeΓ±o Popper Chicken Sandwich," which I wouldn't order if they paid me. I can't fathom how such a thing would be popular, but there must be some demand for it if they are advertising it.
I tried that Popeye's chicken sandwich last week, it was ok, hard to see what all the fuss is about
shareShark. I hear shark fin soup is delicious, but I don't want to have it.
shareAwful for the shark though π
shareI've had Shark fin and I regret it. It was over 25 years ago and I still feel badly. Sharks are one of my favourite animals, and I'm okay with eating animals, but killing an animal just for one part makes me really sad.
shareDid it taste good?
shareHonestly, from what I recall it had a mild taste to it. Wasn't spectacular or anything.
shareHumans killing sharks for average food.
shareSharks kill humans for average food if you think about it
shareBut they eat the whole thing. If I die by shark, you bet your ass I'd want to be completely finished.
shareYeah, the fin soup thing is a damn shame, I saw a doc about it once
Japanese fishermen haul them in, slash off the fins and toss them back mortally wounded
Pretty horribleπ
Was this the one?https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0856008/
shareMight have been!
I fish and hunt, I really enjoy these activities but the thought of wrecking an animal for 20 ounces of meat and tossing the rest is unsettling
Luckily, the guys I head out with are responsible types
I eat only kosher so I never tried lobster, bacon and a lot of other kind of non-kosher food.
Durian. It's this stinky fruit that is eaten in Asia and banned in public. It smells like crap but it's supposed to taste good.
Unless you have a peanut allergy, you definitely need to have peanut butter. Reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite way to enjoy peanut butter.
Banned in public π .... yeah, I don't want to try that either!
shareDurian is very tasty, but very smelly.
shareI have to try this. It sounds impossible for your nose to hate something and your tongue like it.
shareKimchi is also like that, though not extremely pungent.
shareI like the aroma and taste of kimchi. The only problem with eating garlic is that everybody around you can smell it but that's a small price to pay for immense flavor.
shareI love kimchi ! Yes, it's very flavorful and spicy, although I've never noticed a strong garlic odor or taste. I used to eat large amounts of it years ago when I had a Korean neighbor who kept me well supplied.
shareI thought I saw frozen durian at a local Korean grocery store but I don't think you can get it fresh. They grow it in Hawaii so it might be worth trying if I ever go to Hawaii. I knew this guy who would guy to Hawaii every year for vacation.
shareThe first time I tasted durian, it was as icecream, which was pretty good. But the candy and cookies I had afterwards tasted like garlic.
