What are the meals you have never tried /cooked for what ever reason

Any

Stir fry is VERY wide term... definitely not in my head connected with Chinese!! Chinese don't stir fry nowhere near as much as Thai in my opinion.. Love good stir fry. Just chuck in whatever I have to hand. I cannot even call it a specific cuisine.. most stuff is entirely made up on the go.


I think caviar is overrated too.. it's the texture!!


Never cooked beef wellington. Very English that I think too, not sure I would know what to do with it, and to be honest I don't really massive see much use for it..
Why have meat AND pastry? Not fan of pies either. I find pastry too... much. Don't know how to describe it. I do like it as a snack, sausage rolls, cheese and onion rolls, steak pasty from Greggs.. I just don't like it as a main. with potatoes and veg.. there is just no need for it!!
Weird, I know!!


Took me forever to start cooking my own lasagne. Had massive failure when young, trying to follow a recipe, the pasta did not cook, no idea how to make the white sauce properly.. then we did it in one of the classes I signed up for with my sis, and now it is my favourite dish!! Love my white sauce, and never ever had my pasta not cooked again!!


Otherwise I eat pretty much everything. Try to cook pretty much everything. Love trying new stuff, different cuisines.


Absolutely love tripe. My dad (he is a chef) makes a soup from it, best thing on the planet.. I need to learn it one of these days.
Everyone says "eeeew, what a notion", but I grew up with it considered delicatessy and absolutely normal, so I think it is weird for it being weird!
All there with pig blood soup, which is just weird to be looked down upon by people from country where they have black pudding!
:-) :-) :-)


Also never cooked an artichoke.. love them, but no idea what to do with it. Or even to buy it in the shop. So I use it marinated for salads and have it in restaurants.


Oh, and snails!!! Bhleeeewwww. I will eat most weird stuff (including frogs legs, they are all right, but nothing special), but juts cannot get over this one!


Isn't it funny how people are different! :-)

I don't like yoghurt, sour cream, pork (but like bacon sausages etc), any dried fruit such as currants sultanas etc, tea to drink or cucumber in a pre-made sandwich.

I love cucumber otherwise; we always grow some in the Summer and they rarely make the house as I eat then as I pick them!

I've never tried oysters, whelks, mussels, winkles, cockles, jellied eels, carp, bream, john dory, crayfish, roe or sushi.

Neither have I ever had heart, lights, tripe, tongue, sweetbreads or trotters. Or, dripping, tofu, or sauerkraut (sp?).

I once tried curry and 1 spoon was enough - sick as a dog! I can't bear the smell. I don't cook it - if my husband wants it for dinner he eats at our neighbours' house.

I've never tried Thai food.

Can't bear the look or thought of okra - yuk, all that slime!

Tried but dislike intently:- olives, coriander (apart from the seeds), aubergine, crab, blue cheese, chilli. Oh yes pork pies- that horrid jelly and greasy pastry.

Overated:- butternut squash, artichokes, caviar, lobster, champagne.

Dislike sharon fruit, tamarind, and star fruit - the only good thing about that is that it looks pretty on a trifle!


and I call my husband fussy - thought I was pretty easy when it came to food, looking at above, I'm not so sure

that's one of my favourite sandwich fillings - cheese, lettuce and white pepper :T

I love olives, tomatoes and celery now. 3 things I used to hate. Maybe there is hope for me with tofu, Zippy.

As a child I loved dripping on homemade bread with lots of salt. The look of it now makes me feel sick.

My sister, brought up on the same food obviously, is so much more adventurous than me. I think that is what makes her such a good cook.
