It seems that Radio 5 presenter Richard Bacon has rocked our nation to the very core by admitting that he’s never tried a Donner Kebab. I personally don’t think it’s that startling, i’m sure there are many sensible souls out there who have never shovelled down a kebab at two in the morning. His admission however, has got us all wondering here at 5pm towers, what have I never eaten?
Tripe, spam and oysters are high on my list. Tripe, well because I have a feeling the texture just wouldn’t be for me. Spam, never had it growing up and it’s not really the kind of thing i think I’ll start to enjoy now. Oysters I would try, despite having a feeling that I wouldn’t necessarily like them. I’ve just not had the chance to eat them yet.
A quick ask round the office has brought up some interesting and frankly baffling answers. Find below our list of I have never eaten’s…
Jen – _“Mince and Tatties, I know I had it as a small child and didn’t like
it so refused to eat it forever more, but I don’t remember and it’s never
crossed my path since. I imagine it’s just like tiny stew?”_
Suzanne – “Probably a million things I haven’t had before but that’s due to allergies. Up until last night I’d never tried a pickled walnut – wish I had still never tried one! Never had spam or corned beef! Not sure why anyone would ever eat that!”
Michelle – “have never tried jellied eels, and have absolutely no desire to! I have a slight phobia of eels, jellyfish and squid and don’t want to be near or touch one, nevermind eat one! That being said, I was amazingly brave last month and tried deep-fried calamari… I ate it all, but had to concentrate on something else and used liberal amounts of the dip it came with!”
Allison – “The only thing I can think of that I’ve never tried and never will is seafood – sushi, lobster, oysters etc, I don’t like anything fishy and never have done. (Tuna excluded!)”
Allison’s food dislikes are reversed by Stevie, who has never eaten Tuna. Ronnie has also admitted to never having tried hot coffee. Finally, Alan, had never heard of stovies before attending my wedding, he is still happy to inform me that despite trying them, he’s still not exactly sure what they are!
Let us know what you have never eaten?
