common food i've never tried

My taste is a little picky when it comes to food. I hate spicy things, I loooove baked goods, and I load up all of my meats with ketchup because it's the only thing that makes it taste less bland. Ok, so that last thing is a little quirky but I can't help it!  If chicken actually had a flavor I wouldn't have to!

That said, there is some stuff I still have yet to try in my twenty-seven years on this planet.  Some stuff that you may consider pretty common even. Here are my top three "foods I've never tried..."

Macaroons
These things just look weird to me and what I imagine them to taste like isn't great at all (like big gobs of dried icing or something).  I see them everywhere I look for some reason and have yet to understand the fascination.

Nutella.
That's right... I've never tried the stuff. It's chocolate... but it's not... and it's in a jar? Something about that just seems so wrong to me. And I've never really had the urge to put a chocolate substance all over my bread.

Taco Bell.
I've had tacos before of course... but I've never had Taco Bell. Which is probably a good thing from what I hear.

Judging from my choices though, I'd probably be better off not trying these things for the sake of my body!

What food have you never tried?

  2. WHAT?! No Taco Bell? I LOVE Taco Bell but it's really bad for you. It's best you didn't try it, haha. I've never had Macaroons but I hear they're great and I JUST had Nutella this summer, SO good!

  3. Ok, I've only had nutella...but that's cause there's no taco bell in Ireland :)

  4. I've also never tried Macaroons, nor have I eaten Nutella. I agree with you...putting chocolate all over toast sounds so disgusting to me, haha. But to each their own I suppose!
    As for Taco Bell, that's about the only fast food place I will eat at...their chalupas are SO good :)

  6. you HAVE to try Nutella. Now.

    other than that, I think we have the exact same taste in food.

  7. Omg you've never tried Nutella?! you're CRAZY! go try it now! haha it's so good!

  8. Since I'm from Germany I grew up with Nutella and it's so yummy! On a toast or bread or on crepes! You have to try it, seriously, I bet you will like it! xxx

  9. I have never had Taco Bell either -- it probably helps that we don't have one where I love. I have also heard that that's a good thing :)

  10. I've never had a taco bell or a macaroon, but nutella isn't what it's cracked up to be. I've never had any of those american sweet things. Dingdongs or hohos or whatever they're called. I live in the UK so it's all out of my reach, but I'm so curious when I see them in films! But, eventhough I live in England, I've never had a scone!

  11. I've never had macaroons either.. They just don't look very appetizing to me. Nutella is not very good.

    But we have to talk about this whole Taco Bell thing! lol

  12. I'm with you on the first two, and wish I could say I was on the last. Macaroons look weird to me, and I totally agree that Nutella looks weird. Why put chocolate on a sandwich?? I just don't get it. And Taco Bell is pretty gross, so you're really not missing anything!

    Also, that picture? I've never seen anything from Taco Bell come remotely close to that!

  13. Actually, Nutella is super healthy for you. It is really good for your blood pressure and keeps you thin and healthy!

    ReplyDelete
  14. sure Taco Bell is bad for you but...I still love it anyway! Cannot get enough for their chicken quesadillas in fact!

    I've never had macaroons either nor have I ever tried artichokes or octopus or rabbit or raw tomatoes (ew).

    You should so give nutella a try! I don't like it on toast but it's the perfect dip for apple slices!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I have also never tried any of those items.

    ReplyDelete
  16. AH! Nutella is soooo good, and good for your mood :) And Taco Bell?? Get in your car right now and drive over there and order a 5 layer burrito! MMM!

  17. i'd never had macarons until my birthday, when my aunt made some special for me. never going back.
    i haven't had nutella either! it just doesn't look good, and therefore i don't like it.
    as far as taco bell goes, i've been, but i don't remember what the food tastes like. i think i'm okay with that.
    this was quite funny! love it :))

  18. Never tried macaroons or nutella either but I have tried Taco Bell.....believe me, you aren't missing much ;)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Macaroons are SO much yummier than they look ;)

    Nutella is THE best! I don't put it on bread. I don't really put it on anything. I just eat it out the jar or add it to some hot cocoa. YUM! Plus, Nutella is that stuff in Ferraro Rocher, so if you've ever eaten those...that's Nutella.

    You're not missing out with Taco Bell :P Horribly bad for you.

    P.S. I too think meat has no taste, so I just don't bother eating it ;)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh my God, that's hilarious! I've actually never had either three of these things and I'm not a picky eater at all. I REALLY want to try Nutella!! Taco Bell- I think I'll probably try to stay away from for as long as I can :)

  21. I just tried Nutella last week for the first time. It was not the life-changing spread everyone said it was, but it was delicious. As for Taco Bell, you are missing nothing. Don't let anyone pressure you into trying it, or your stomach will hate you! =]

    ReplyDelete
  22. I've got to say -I don't think you're missing out!
    Macarons are disappointing.
    Nutella is more nutty than chocolatey and the consistency is...off. And like you, I feel no need to spread it on my bread.
    Taco Bell - like most fast food - is terrible. If you want Mexican food - eat GOOD mexican food (which isn't all spicy either!)

    I can't think of anything common that I haven't tried but I met a girl a few years ago who had never had - get this:
    honey
    garlic

    Seriously.

    Too sheltered!

  23. Oh gosh,I can not get over Nutella either. On my honeymoon they had a dessert buffet where all these people doused their bread in chocolate from a chocolate fountain, I can't imagine REAL chocolate let alone from a JAR?!

  24. I have never had macaroons but they aren't very common in my country. And there is no Taco Bell here. I looooove Nutella! And my friends tell me that sushi's really nice but I just can't bring myself to put a piece of raw fish in my mouth.

  25. I've never tried the first two. The opportunity never really came up. I have had Taco Bell. I've extremely picky eater, so there are probably lots of things that I haven't tried that are considered common. They just either look gross or the texture is weird.

    ReplyDelete
  26. don't worry, i've never had macaroons before either. and i'm definitely a taco time kind of girl. not a fan of taco bell.

  28. Oh goodness. You don't need toast for Nutella all you need is a spoon!

    I tried Macaroons for the first time this weekend. My husband got me some for my birthday. They were ok nothing to write home about at all IMO.

    Taco Bell. Blerg.

  29. I have never had the first two either but Taco bell is soooo good!

  30. Nutella is so good!! Taco Bell though - not missing out. I have never had a macaroon either, but they sure look pretty.

  31. I was amazed when I read this post...how much it was similar to me (minus the Taco Bell). I constantly see macaroons and nutella all over pinterest. I too, wondered why everyone was fascinated with the two. I have never ever had either, and I too think that they both look discusting. As for Taco Bell, that I have had, numerous times. It is very unhealthy, like all other fast foods, but it is yummy! Especially their cheezy fiesta potatoes!

  32. I've never had Macaroons, and you should definitely stay away from Taco Bell...but Nutella!? That's a must have! I tried it for the first time last year, and I love it!

  34. I just recently had macarons and they weren't as amazing as I expected from all the hype. But Nutella and Taco Bell...YOU MUST! Two of my favorites :)

  36. Oh, Nutella. It is AMAZING in a peanut butter sandwich. Or on a crepe with banana and whipped cream. I could go on and on and on...

    ReplyDelete
  37. oh my gosh, taco bell is so good. so bad for you, but definitely worth a try. it's especially good when you're drunk. ha.

    just two years ago, i tried pepperoni, hamburgers and chicken wings for the first time. and chinese food. meat just kinda grosses me out i guess. but really, i'm just a picky eater. my fiance is still amazed at all of the things i've never tried.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I have never had either Macaroons or Nutella as well. I have also never had sushi...although I definitely want to try it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love, love, love Taco Bell... Or well, I did, when I was a little girl. I haven't had any since I was like 10!!!

    As for Nutella, I can't imagine putting some on bread. :x But it's quite good!

    Finally, macaroons. Oh my god, they are HEAVENLY. They are totally mouth-watering and flavorful (and not dry at all, at least, not the kind I've had!)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ketchup on meat! I absolutely love the taste of meat! Especially steak! As for chicken I agree it needs to be seasoned well of have a very nice sauce with it!

    I have yet to try a macaroon either! I really want to though. I hear they taste really good!

    Nutella is pretty good but you need to like hazelnut.

    And I know Taco Bell is so bad for you but I love it! We have one at school and I tend to go there way more than I should!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I put ketchup on nearly every savory thing I eat. Love any kind of tomato based sauce :)

    ...and you HAVE to try Nutella. I always make sure there's a jar in my cupboard. Always.

  42. You are NOT missing out with Nutella and Macaroons. Honestly. :P Taco Bell... it's a guilty pleasure. I only eat it on RARE occasions because it's horrible for you. BUT it is delicious...

  44. I LOVE NUTELLA!! I sometimes just eat it right out of the jar! It's really good.
    Taco Bell...it's okay. I mean, there are better tacos.
    I've never had macaroons either. I've always wondered what they tasted like.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Seriously. Gotta try the Nutella! I love dipping animal crackers in it right out of the jar. Bad habit but really yummy!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I've never tried macaroons either but they look so pretty! I imagine that they taste like a wafer, with a thin smear of sweetness in the middle. I guess one of these days I'll have to try one and find out.

    Never tried Nutella either. I'm with you - it's just too weird.

    Taco Bell is addicting and totally horrible for you. Don't give in!! I ate a lot of it when I was younger, but it's really not the best. Taste-wise, I love it - health-wise, not recommended.
