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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

I just conned one of my student workers, who has a roomie from Colorado, into thinking they are a rare delicacy.

I've never had fugu

How about "chapulines" (grasshoppers)... ?

Trust me, I know exactly what I am missing.

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

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.

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!


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!
