What is a common food you have never tasted?

Gotta prep and cook it correctly. Make sure you soak for a generous period of time beforehand to reduce bitterness.

 

I never plan to ever eat it, lol.

We had lobster at home this past Thursday (I cooked).

 

Another invite lost in the mail.

How about beef liver? Or perhaps chicken livers? Black eyed peas or even green peas? Lima beans? Olives? Anchovies? Creamed herring? What other common foods might people have not tasted?

 

Yes, but I am not sure some of those are common.

Liver - I refuse

 

 

I actually like calf's liver and chicken liver.I haven't tried others.

Plain 'ole eggs. The smell of eggs being cooked makes me nauseous, so I've never just eaten one. Not scrambled, not sunny-side up, not poached, and so on.

 

 

You've eaten them a lot, just not solo.

For you seafood lovers, I also cooked up a pot of homemade oyster stew. Buttered potatoes, peas with mushrooms.

 

Curious how you do your oyster stew. Do you leave them in the shell and let it open?

He probably sent it through FedEx.

Your eggplant aversion disqualified you. You should try the moussaka at a local Greek festival sometime.

Not food, but I've never had coffee. I hate the smell.

Difficult if not impossible to find fresh oysters at a reasonable price here. My ingredients are the bare necessities. East coast oysters (the west coast oysters are nasty) - we get Kellum's from Kroger, green onions, lots of butter, milk and heavy cream and a bit of flour; don't put the oysters in until you're almost finished.

 

A magic ingredient is just the tiniest pinch of saffron.

I've never had oyster stew, but I'll definitely try it, I love anything that involves oysters. About the only good thing I can think of about living a few minutes from Huntington, WV is the ability to get fresh seafood at Jewel City. It's flown in daily and it is actually priced really well considering what part of the country we are in. If your ever in the area, you should definitely check it out, it's a restaurant as well, so you can sample it before you buy your take home items lol.

Frog legs. my mom cooked some once and didn't cut the tendons. As she was frying them they started jumping around in the skillet. Didn't eat any then and have never eaten any.

Gotta load 'em down with milk and butter, or gravy. Don't like them plain. Don't like hominy. Tried 'em several times.

If you like shrimp and you ever find yourself between South Carolina and Louisiana, you owe it to yourself to give shrimp and grits a try. I have only had it a few times, but it has already earned a spot on my top five entrees list.

SF, I've sampled stuff that smelled like it, so I can only assume....

 

Tastes like chicken........sometimes.

I LOVE shrimp and grits. Wife makes a real good version, but South Carolina low country I must admit is better.
