There's quite a lot, I'll give a few 'interesting' foods a go some time.
Does volcanic ash count?0 -

I guess, it's got ions and all that 'natural stuff'. I'll give it a go.

Deer, chitterlings, are my top two. Some of these things that you all have listed I have never even heard of.0

I went vegetarian at 15yo (though switched to pescatarian when I was 28), so there are quite a few "normal" meats I've never eaten: most types of steak, veal, venison, rabbit, bison, pheasant, etc.
But I've eaten quite a few things (and actually eat them regularly, in fact) that others who have posted here have not: quinoa, seitan, tofu, sushi, scallops, etc. I also forage for wild edible mushrooms so I'm guessing a have some on my list that most people haven't heard of, let alone eaten.

Never eaten? I will try anything listed as palatable, therefore never eaten includes:
1. Never come across it
2. It moved too fast to catch
And I did not have to Google for balut. My son watches the food channel, Bizarre Foods. He enjoys sharing that type of information.
Looking forward to trying haggis. It can't be "official" in the US because here you are not allowed to sell the parts used.
Haggis, neeps and tatties ....yum

The only fast food hamburger that I've eaten, and it hasn't made me sick (vomitting kind of sick) is Wendy's.

'K had to look up neeps and tatties. The recipe called for "one large swede, cut into chunks", which was kind of disturbing because I am a Swede. Why not substitute a Norwegian or a Finn?Haggis, neeps and tatties ....yum
Researched a little further and a "swede" is Brit for: "... yellow turnip, Swedish turnip and Russian turnip and, in America, rutabaga." Oh. OK. Potatoes and rutabagas. Rootmus - Swedish name - mashed roots. I grew up with that.

Cow tongue. I have never had cow tongue.
It is very popular out here. A girl I used to work with went to her at-the-time fiances house and his mother plopped a huge cow tongue in front of her and slit it right open. She later admited she probably could have cut it before my friend arrived....I couldn't do it.
Lobster. It smells funny so I won't eat it.
Snails. I don't think I ever will.
I have had snake, squirrel, aligator, deer, and a wide variety of road kill before. Our old neighbores were very into making gumbo with random items they shot themselves. We later discovered they were meth heads. It explained a lot!0 -
Sardines.0

My ex-husband used to eat those nasty little cans of Vienna sausages. All I had to do was take one look inside of that can and I was like, "Oh, HELL, no."
I've never had most wild game (deer, etc.), but I'd be willing to try.
I did have marinated kangaroo meat once while I was visiting Australia. I actually really liked it - it tasted like VERY lean beef. Good stuff, but totally unavailable here.0 -
Steak, fish of any kind, turkey, anything from Taco Bell, pork, and avocado *shudders*. I ate lobster and clam chowder for the first time in my life while on vacation in Maine last year and promptly found out I am deathly allergic to shellfish. Grumble grumble. Now I have to carry an Epipen with me because even being in the same room that it's being cooked in can give me a reaction.0

I'm game to try almost anything once (at least when it comes to food...) ;-) Of what's been available to try, I've never bothered to buy durian and I've never cooked up "prairie oysters" or brains. (However. ..if they were well prepared and offered to me I'd be game...blame MasterChef and the tasty looking deep-fried calf brain nuggets. Haha!)0

Ohhh regret that I just googled balut.....
Snails and oyster is on my "why"???-list. Have never eaten it. Looks so nasty

I don't fit in this thread. I've tried just about everything in my life so far.
Taste wise, raw celery is worst. Texture wise, live tiny fishes was horrible. Psychologically worst was those poor live fishes, frog skin and silkworm cocoons.
Well I guess a few I've never tried before from other cultures are caterpillars/various insects, rats, dogs, dolphins, whales... Of course, I've never had the opportunity to eat those either so...

I quite like sardines and love snails. It's so strange how some foods seem fine and others not. I got eel when in Germany with a co-worker and my co-worker thought it was a weird thing to order. (He would not have considered snails weird, or oysters or sushi, it's so arbitrary.)
I don't deny I have food prejudices, though. I can't imagine eating dog or cat, and would likely balk at anything too cockroach like or rat or mouse. I also get squicked by the idea of roadkill and might at squirrel, although that one I think I could get over pretty easily.
Back when I was a kid my dad would occasionally decide we should have various organ meats and those are all fine with me, but I refused to eat more than a bite of (beef) tongue the one time my dad decided we should have that. I recall it being kind of unpleasant, but would probably be willing to try again.

Hehe! I think you mean "anecdotes" (stories)...though after eating meth-head-roadkill-gumbo, an antidote might be necessary too.sheepotato wrote: »LifeInTheBikeLane wrote: »

It's super easy to make, either with vital wheat gluten, or plain old flour.
Yep. Vital wheat gluten is in the baking aisle of most stores. Just knead it up, season some water, and boil it for a while. I've made it from regular flour too, but the kitchen sink's plumbing votes would rather I not. Cost-wise, regular flour is more expensive because gluten (read: turn around flour bag and look for protein) makes up a small part of it.
I have never eaten any kind of snake.0 -
Gator
Snake
Rabbit
Horse
Frog
Snail / insects that aren't crickets and mealworms
There's a lot of meats I want to try but can't due to lack of funds, availability, and law in the case of horse meat...

I like dragonfruit and the ones I have had have a very mild flavor. I like to cut it in quarters, put it in a clear plastic container and take it to work to eat, because I like to eat it and it freaks people out with the way it looks. So that makes it double awesome.0 -

I've never had quinoa either. It's on my I'll-try-it-someday list.
Yellow tomatoes. I started to buy some once but my mom called and when I told her about them, she said they were gross. But I have a tomato tart recipe around here somewhere that I'd like to make one day . . .
Ok I have to say the yellow tomatoes being gross things I don't understand - to me the taste exactly like a regular red tomato. So if she doesn't like tomatoes in general, then that makes sense but if she eats red ones, I admit I am a bit confused.
Quinoa is good but you have to be sure to rinse it well - luckily I had already tried it and liked it the time I didn't rinse well enough, so I knew it was my own fault. It is very soapy if you don't rinse it enough.0 -
Game meat.... oh wait I did have venison ground in spaghetti my ex sister in law cooked. It was nasty. :sick:0

My dad came home with venison sausages once. Thinking about the taste makes me wish I knew how to hunt.0
