I have never eaten:

[Confuzius]

The sandwich thread got me thinking and I realized that I have never eaten: A baloney (bologna?) sandwich, or baloney for that matter.

I was vegetarian until I was 13, at which point any meat that I wanted to eat I needed to buy for myself, I just never bothered with baloney. Did I miss out on an essential part of childhood?!

So what "normal" everyday foods have you never eaten, and why?

[masonjarjar]

My wife has never eaten a "fast food" hamburger. That seems to amaze some people.

As far as myself, I can't think of a normal food I've not eaten. :biggrin:

[tg16]

Liver

[BobS]

I still like a bologna sandwich from time to time. It is not the same as a hot dog, but if you like hot dogs, you would probably like bologna.

I cannot think of any common foods I have not tried, even some of the regional things like scrapple.

After living 10 years in Mexico and 4 years in Taiwan, my list of weird food is pretty long too! :biggrin:

[Austin]

I remember eating bologna sandwiches for lunch when I was a tot. I don't think I had another sandwich until I was over 30 years old. I can't say that I miss them.

Liver

You have never had liver? My friend you do not know what you are missing. I hated it as a child; however, as an adult, I love it. Liver and onions with some cabbage or green beans on the side.mmmmmm, I am getting hungry just thinking about it.

Give it a try, you might be surprised that you like it.

[mretzloff]

I have never eaten shark, calamari, sushi, and a few other things.

I think I've tried most "normal" foods.

[BROWNS]

Fried bologna sandwich with mayo and mustard on toasted white bread, one of my favorites as simple as it is.

[chipinque1]

Aaaaa, and by the way, I hate bologna since my childhood.

[BobS]

How about "chapulines" (grasshoppers)... :001_smile ?


Absolutely. Chapulines are not as good as the gusanos (worms -- the kind you see in bottles of mescal) and escamoles (ant eggs).

These are the first two things I thought of as well. Weird!:eek:


As for bologna -- go get yourself some German bologna (Boar's Head brand will do fine), some real american cheese (e.g., Land O'Lakes from the butcher counter, not Kraft slices from the dairy case) and pile it up on your favorite bread with lots of spicy mustard. You're in for a treat!

I disagree with american, IMO, get the red rind cheddar. Bologna, mayo, lettuce, tomato and red rind cheese on white bread. That's a true American classic sandwich. YMMV though. I used to like my bologna fried, but now I'm more of a cold kinda of man.

I don't know of any "common" foods that I've never tried. Liver has been mentioned, I like liver, especially fried chicken livers, but I'll pass them up for gizzards. I've had the mountain oysters, they must be sliced thin. Some of you mentioned grasshoppers and worms, IMHO, these are not common. I think I had a chocolate covered cricket once though.

[Brodirt]

A deep fried snickers, twinkie or oreo.

As for all of that other common stuff like rocky mountain oysters, fugu, insects and organ meats I have had them all. Not all insects as I have a hard time here, but I have had a few different types. There are a bunch of things on Bizarre Foods that I haven't had and would, and even more that I wouldn't. I think the next things I haven't had that I would like to try are armadillo and iguana.

Personally, I would not put cheddar with bologna, but the type of cheese is entirely personal choice. My only point was to get real cheese as opposed to processed cheese food product.

Your Cheese May Vary :cool:

[jasonboyd]

This whole conservation brings up an interesting question. What do you consider a "common" food? I figure this would have a lot to do with your location in the world, your heritage, and how you grew up. To me chicken livers and gizzards are "common", though I could see where some would not consider these items common. I don't think insects of any kind are a common food, but I know they are consumed on a regular basis in some countries and to some motorcycle riders. :biggrin:

You didn't miss out on anything. Bologna is fine, but nothing special.

I'm afraid I can't think of anything "normal" that I've never tried. I like to try everying I can at least once.

[herbnerd]

But many people can't believe I've not had tea or coffee for over 10 years. They wonder how I get up in the morning.

I was a severe addict and had to quit.

[Ceezer]

"I eat stickers all the time, dude!" - Ok, sorry, that was from last week's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when Charlie was trying a pear for the first time and nobody told him not to eat the core, stem, or... sticker.

I love fried balogna and it's always been a part of my life. My daughter has had fried balogna but not in sandwich-format, so I made her one Saturday morning. I threw a fried egg in it, too, and she inhaled it...

American with balogna is my preference, too, though I usually use the Kraft slices. I'll hit the deli up this weekend for some of that Land of Lakes stuff.

As for 'common' foods, I grew up eating squirrel, groundhog, rabbit, deer, cow tongue, liver, muskrat, and, on occasion, oppossum. This is pretty common stuff where I come from and none of it is exotic (some, like deer & rabbit is widely accepted), but when I tell folks down south about it they just look at me like I've committed animal cruelty.

[Mojo88]

My father was a salesman that had a customer who was a big game hunter. He would give my father portions of the game and he would fix it for us. The trick was we never knew until we were older what we had for meals sometime. My father mentioned that we would have elk and deer on a regular basis and we never knew it. I always wondered why things tasted so different from time to time. That hamburger always had a unique flavor. I guess that's why I was never a picky eater.

[TimMechEngr]

(2) Pieces of fried bologna with melted American cheese between on toasted white bread with mustard.... Now, that's a true standard in the south!

Have to agree with that. Growing up, common food was and is tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Even more so now. Wasn't too picky growing up. Loved liver, still do. Especially with lots of onions. Hamburger and hot dogs. I remember when many hot dogs were dyed red. Loved bologna growing up. Don't eat too much of it now. Although I do like BAR-S garlic bologna and sometimes get a craving for it. Rocky Mountain oysters aren't common here but menudo is. And I've never eaten that. Right now I'm getting big into hummus. Have even learned to make my own. But it's not common.

[moshulu]

I've never had fugu


I once went to an "all fugu" restaurant in Tokyo. Sashimi, soup, main course: everything had fugu. Frankly, this fish has almost no flavor at all.

I travel to Japan for work fairly often and, in my opinion, the quality of the restaurants there is the best in the world (okay, I haven't been everywhere, but it's getting pretty close...). On one occasion, I was served a soup with some unfamiliar sqiggly stuff in it. I asked my host what it was. He searched for the right words and finally answered "how to say ... the sexual organ of the cod". It was pretty good.

[The Nid Hog]

I don't ordinarily seek out strange foods, but if the opportunity presents itself, I'll eat just about anything. Some years ago I ate at a restaurant in Sydney that, I was told, featured "bush tucker." There were certainly some unusual things on the menu, but it was a very nice place--kind of French fusion as I remember.

Of all the things that I've eaten over the years, the only thing that I don't care much for is the humble chicken foot. I admire the economy of a food that you can also use to pick your teeth, but I'm not too crazy about the taste.

[tpoof]

Bologna... Oh you must mean *tube steak* :biggrin:

used to eat it quite alot when we were kids..
haven't had it for awhile and the last time was a couple years ago, I remember the first bite.. it was like that scene on Rattatuoli sp were the critic is instantly transported to his youth :biggrin:
the thrill soon passes and is to be used in moderation only.:biggrin:

never had Sushi...:rolleyes:
just something about raw fish...

I've never tried liver.

I've never tried pate.

I've never tried soft cheese such as brie.

I've never had a lamb chop.

I've never eaten a rare steak.

I've never tried snails (don't know if this qualifies as "common food").

Randall, you are missing a lot of good things!! Love pate, snails and caviar. I don't care for liver as liver per se (cannot chew this meat, I am getting a vomit reflex when chewing it) but like things made form liver, like liver dumplings and liver sausage (two typical German things...).

When we lived in MI, we missed our NJ Porkroll (or Taylor ham) - best eaten with either swiss or Muenster on a bagel.

[Mer]

Sushi. Not that I don't want to try it, just never had the opportunity.

[_JP_]

Alligator gonads.

And neither has Andrew Zimmerman (yet).

[Not A Nice Person]

Rocky mountain oysters, fugu, and . . . errrm . . . well, possum. Or grasshoppers. :001_tongu

But someday I'd love to try the fugu, comes to that.

We're gourmands and adventurous eaters in my family. Put it on a plate and tell us it's local and we'll probably give it a go.

NANP™

[stobes21]

Up until about a year ago I had never eaten lobster. Up until about 6 weeks ago I had never eaten good lobster. Suffice it to say I will order it again, but only at select establishments.

A lot of high brow/super gourmet foods I've never had: caviar, fois gras, truffles, kobe beef, etc. I have no problem trying any of them, just never felt the need to pony up the cash myself to do it.

My wife's family is Norwegian and they all eat lutefisk. Never had the courage to try it myself though (the smell alone is nauseating).

Never had tripe, osso bucco, or brains of any sort except pig (brain sandwiches are still served a few places, my father happened to be a fan of one).

There are several types of fish I've never had because despite trying many types prepared many ways I just don't like fish. Other seafood is fine, and certain types of sushi I like (particularly tuna sashimi), but fish just doesn't do it for me.

[mark the shoeshine boy]

i like the little blo-knee, in the red casing on saltine crackers.

SPAM comes to my mind too that you may have missed....i like it fried on white bread...sometimes with mustard somethimes with mayo....

[Confuzius]

Yeah, also never had Spam... it kind of gives me the creeps....

[kwk285]

Eggplant

[bluepunk18]

I've never had tripe, nor would I want to. Yech! The inside of a cow should stay exactly where it is, inside! *unless its being made into steak, burgers, or similar beef products*

Confuzius, I can't believe you haven't ever had SPAM. I LOVE it, even if its bad for me. :001_tt1: Maybe that's why I like it...Its especially tasty cubed into mac&cheese.

[Abdiel]

Personally, I would not put cheddar with bologna, but the type of cheese is entirely personal choice. My only point was to get real cheese as opposed to processed cheese food product.

Your Cheese May Vary :cool:
All American Cheese is processed cheese food product. This contains oil, emulsifiers, and real cheese blended together. Typically the cheese will be either cheddar or colby, sometimes jack, and sometimes a mixture of any of the three. This lightens the flavor of the cheese (making it more palatable to the average person who doesn't like strong cheese and hiding the imperfections of cheap cheese), makes it more shelf stable, and produces something which will not separate and become oily and nasty when heated but rather melt nice and smooth. That said there are better and worse brands out there depending on what and how much of it they put into the blend. Land O'lakes is very good, kraft singles not to much.

That said I've never had parsnips or swordfish.

[VR6ofpain]

Peanut butter.
Are you from Russia? I know a couple Russian women who have never had peanut butter. They said it sounds nasty. I told them they should at least try it. No luck yet.

[LagerLover]

Lobster, can't stand the smell of it.

Being from Pennsylvania I love Lebanon bologna.

[Wilpar76]

I love tripe. I eat it with a little vinegar on top or dip it in vinegar on the side.

[bob.e]

If your gonna eat bologna don't eat Oscar Meyer as it's not fit for the pigs it's made from. All beef bologna is not as good tasting as an all meat bologna (pork & beef) such as Boars Head Brand. Get a quality brand if it has chicken or turkey in it don't waste your time. Exception to the all beef rule is Kosher bologna. I prefer mine fried on toasted rye with cheese (Provolone), black pepper, mayo & ketchup. My family owned a deli in New York so I grew up on quality cold cuts.

As for what I've never eaten a whole raw apple. I've tried for years to eat raw apple but I just don't like it. I love apple pie, apple sauce, apple butter, cider, just about anything apple flavored or made with cooked apple but do not like the texture of raw apple.

[kongjie]

A regular bologna sandwich is utterly forgettable. I can see some appeal in frying it. But the normal version on white bread is a horrible thing that should be resigned to the dust heap of American history.

Reminds me of my childhood. I always liked liver. These days if I mention it to anyone they think it is gross.


Lobster, can't stand the smell of it.

Being from Pennsylvania I love Lebanon bologna.

Lebanon bologna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite lunch meat :)
Go PSU!!!! Sorry had to.

Its funny because I currently am in the South. Whenever I get Lebanon Bologna I get weird looks from the Deli counter or they say what is that stuff.

Also its funny that I have met people that don't know what Perogies, scrapple, or pork roll is.

Plus i know A LOT of people that have never been to a Diner (No Wafflehouse doesn't count).

[dpm802]

Reminds me of a joke:

Shortly after World War 1, the Department of Defense (DoD) came up with a secret plan to protect the population of the United States in case of attack. They would put all the American people onto a fleet of blimps, and if they were attacked from the East, they would float out over the Pacific, and if attacked from the West, they would float out over the Atlantic ... there, the people would just wait until the hostilities were over and they could return home.

In order to feed the people, the DoD scientists went to work to discover which food(s) were most nutritious, and able to withstand long-term storage, easy to prepare, and at the same time take up little room

The scientists discovered that the two foods that met this requirement were iced tea and LIVER ... they would keep the liver on slabs of ice until it was ready to be cooked, then let the ice melt so that they could make tea. No spices, no onions, no sugar ... that was all that they packed along for provisions.

According to this plan, we would be "One Nation, under DoD, in Dirigible, with Liver, Tea, and Just Ice for All."

[Monkeydad]

Yeah, also never had Spam... it kind of gives me the creeps....

Sir, you are missing out on the oysters. You have the Grand Central Oyster Bar right there! I used to go there.

I suggest you go this weekend.

[Argonaut]

Boloney, also known as "round steak" is a staple where I'm from, liver is something I never had the urge to think about eating. I use it for catfish bait for crying out loud! It's slimy, stinky, downright nasty, whether it comes from a chicken, pig or cow! But hey, if it's your thing, manja manja, enjoy the gout.:biggrin:

Same here, I had it a lot when I was a kid, just today I was looking at some bologna at the store, trying to remember what it taste like. I almost got some to try it again.

Oh a fried balogna sandwhich with fresh tomato and miracle whip on good old bleached white bread! Now that is the way to go.

I just could not believe my husband a couple of weeks ago when he said he had never had a fried bologna sandwich. We had them as kids a lot. I keep away from that sort of stuff now just because the bologna is so full of fat. I would rather eat a candy bar than a single slice of bologna that has more fat than chocolate:tongue:

[skklog]

has anyone ever had bologna soup?

[beginish]

Escargot
Oysters
Sweetbreads
Goose

I will normally try everything at least once, but haven't gotten around to these yet.

[bluepunk18]

Headcheese. :drool: And I'm not drooling

Head cheese is actually very tasty! I had forgotten about it. I remember being creeped out by the fact that an entire pig head was cooking in a pot on my grandparents stove, but the resulting cheese was amazingly tasty on a ritz cracker.

[bluepunk18]

If you like Spam, you'll love tripe! Forget the beef--go straight for pork. Mmmm...

So...are you supposed to cook it or ? I always see it in butcher shops and grocery stores, but I have no idea how you'd serve it...

[HeF]

Peanut butter and jelly

[arghblech]

I haven't tried but will try if I get the chance:

Head cheese (I have had a chorizo that was made by boiling down goat heads with red chile, though... It was amazing)
Goose (Foie Gras I've had. The rest of the goose is as yet untasted.)

I have no interest in:

Natto
Balut
Fermented meats

Back in the day, Fiesta (a chain of supermarkets aimed at Hispanics) used to have 55gal drums of goats heads in the back of the meat department. You'd see the little old ladies go in and pick out the head(s). Pretty neat IMHO.

[luckysealy]

i have yet to try balut. it isn't common in the u.s.. it is very common here in the philippines where i have been for the last 5 months. there are a few other dishes here that i have yet to try and i probably won't.

[Jatte]

Rocky mountain oysters.. Strangely enough theyre known as prairie oysters here,

ive had them once when i went to help the girlfriends grand uncle brand and castrate the new cattle,

don't taste like much of anything, texture of liver though,

cut up small, breaded and panfried in lard with salt and pepper,

kinda reminded me of salt and pepper spareribs...

i've had haggis, and a bunch of variations,

i've never had any seafood, i tried shrimp once and threw it up...

[SavantStrike]

Haggis - I have some Scottish blood in me... I should really try it at some point

Horse meat - I was reminded of this yesterday when I went to a saddle shop for some neatsfoot oil. I had the sense not to say anything about it while in the store :lol:.

Snake meat - Again, it's strange enough it would be cool to try. I hear it tastes like chicken, but maybe that's just something people say...

[arghblech]

Horse meat - I was reminded of this yesterday when I went to a saddle shop for some neatsfoot oil. I had the sense not to say anything about it while in the store :lol:.

I had a horse steak in Switzerland (IIRC) in the late 80's and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. I ate sweetbreads in a cream sauce on that trip as well. Brilliant stuff. I would totally om nom nom a horse again :biggrin:

Not sure how I'd handle the texture (loogie-ness) of an oyster. I'll stick with my crab, lobster, shrimp, sushi, etc.

[WhosYerBob]

Ummm, scratch mountain oysters off my list.

Had 'em for the first time on Friday night (our host just set a platter of what looked like chicken fingers in front of everyone and didn't say what they were) and knew something was amiss as soon as I bit into it. Not as bad tasting as I was expecting, but I won't willingly eat them again.

Horse meat - I was reminded of this yesterday when I went to a saddle shop for some neatsfoot oil. I had the sense not to say anything about it while in the store :lol:.

Snake meat - Again, it's strange enough it would be cool to try. I hear it tastes like chicken, but maybe that's just something people say...

I've had crocodile tail. it was ok ( cooked on a fire)


I've never eaten tongue and don't think I ever will.

I don't think I would like a food that can taste me back! :eek:

I've never eaten tongue and don't think I ever will. Which is kind of weird considering I once at a hunk of lamb brain.

If you ever have the opportunity to have a lengua (tongue) taco at a taqueria, you MUST. Possibly the best thing to hit a tortilla ever.

Turkey and Tongue with Russian dressing is pure brilliance. Lengua in gravy (similar to a carne guisada type gravy) is also a winner.
