This thread is for foods or food types you have never eaten, but really want to try. Perhaps you could also say why you have never had them.
I'll start in post number two.

Morel Mushrooms
I have only in the past year found out I actually like mushrooms, previously thinking I hated them, but I've not seen any morels anywhere, and expect they might be rather pricey if I did.

Vegan sushi, got most of the ingredients to make it and the mat to roll, but not got round to it. Mmmm, just thinking about it makes me wanna eat it!
durian.
I hadn't even seen it anywhere until recently, and when I did it was so expensive I didn't want to buy it not knowing if it was ripe or edible or how to eat it...
also yuca. I can't find it.

^curious not even heard of them^
That's funny RubyDuby - I was thinking durian too, before I read your message. I don't think I've actually encountered one and I'm not 100% sure whether I want to try it or not.
There's some other supposedly evil-smelling fruit that it would be interesting to have but I can't think what it's called - oh, is it mangosteen?
I saw a couple of durian for sale in an asian grocery store.
I'm pretty sure I've never seen mangosteen either.
yuca = cassava. I've seen other forum members mention having that before and somebody posted a pic of the yuca tortillas from vcon in the pics of good food thread.
There's something else I've been wanting to try, but I can't remember what it was. I was on the look out in the asian grocer... TVP chunks and something else.

I've actually had cassava in Indian and African restaurants - it seems very much like potato to me though I gather it's more trouble to prepare.
TVP chunks - just say no. (Although some people seem to like them.)
Vegan Marshmallows
i want to try them, but am waiting till they are vaguely sensibly priced.

Vegannaise
I've heard of it, but back when I was a carnivore I thought Mayonnaise was the most disgusting thing in the world. Fat mixed with sugar. So I'm not sure I'm willing to try the vegan kind.

Jicama
Red bananas
Red quinoa
Vegan white chocolate
Oat, hemp or quinoa milk
Never heard of red bananas, or red quinoa. Sounds intriguing
My local health food store sells red quinoa. I should pick up a box sometime soon.
Red quinoa is nice I often mix the two types together. Red bananas did not taste much different really.
I've never tried tempeh!
~ Don't think twice, it's all right ~
Oat milk is lovely but sweet, I recommend it on cereal and coffee as opposed to tea. I have seen red bananas but not tried them yet either. Let me know what you think! :smile:
They look like raisins that you find in dodgy cheap curries years ago (may still do them, but I don't get them!)
I know something that we ALL haven't eaten (in a loooong time.................)
ANIMALS YAY!!!!!!!!
I love tempeh - it's great marinated and grilled.
Mangosteen is gorgeous and definitely not smelly! The outside is hard and red/purple, and the fresh fruit inside is very small and white, extremely sweet and fragrant. It's usually pretty expensive though- probably pay 80p-£1 to eat something the size of a very small clementine!
I bought a durian from China Town a few years ago. The flesh inside tastes like onion-flavoured vanilla custard. It's quite nice, in a weird way, but because I ate too much of it, I went off the taste a bit. The spikey shell smells a bit like a sewer, but not as bad as people say!
I would like to try: sapotes, jicama, carob pods, vegan marshmallow fluff (ricemallow?), vegan tiramisu
I hadn't until the start of this year, and now it's my favourite protein portion
It reminds me a bit of Quorn in texture*, but I don't get a gut stabbing stomach ache after eating it, so that's a reason even veggies should favour it over Quorn.
*Which makes sense as they are both based on fungal mycelia.

^ Is it like Tofu? I didn't like marinated Tofu (unless someone can recommend a specific brand won't try it again) Elsie loved it tho'
The brand I tried was Clear Spot from Abel & Cole Blerrgh..
I quite like the sound of battered Tempeh what is that like?
Its not really like tofu, well, not to me. If you get a choice to have a 'nom' give it a go

Avocado
Toasted panini's
Mango
Quinoa
Vegan mayo
Plantain
Sweet potato
Frappuchino of any kind
Banoffee pie
Pomegranate
Seitan
I only tasted blueberries about eight months ago (I'm 22!) Although for most of those listed above, it was my ED stopping me....
vegan and proud.
And.... just for you, a picture of some of tonight's dinner. Homemade sushi. First time I've done it, and it's really not as hard as I thought.

You can also buy some from Wilkinsons sometimes... which is always nice
Its the noise you make when you eat things, and hence also a word for something tasty. You need to look at more lolcats

There are probably a lot of things I have never eaten, because they are not available or hard to come by in the Netherlands. Or they were a bit above my budget. Both vegan and omni things. For instance, I have never eaten rabbit. Only hare once and that was more than two decades ago. There are some cheeses I wanted to try, but then I went vegan and I just never did or will. When it comes to things vegans can eat, I have never eaten cactus figs, fresh figs, several tropical fruits (rambutan, mangosteen, jackfruit, etc), vegan marshmallows, mock duck and other such things you can buy at Chinese grocery stores, hemp/guinoa/hazelnut milk. I am sure there are more things, but this is what I can think of right now.
Oh I do hope you are living and 'managing' with your ED now....Avocado's are one of the best fruits, pack full of tons of nutrients,toasted paninis great with spinach, tomato, onion and hummus, vegan mayo slurp! sweet potato also very good for nutrients but not as good as the avocado, gorgeous - just gorgeous! Mangoes are yummy when just ripe enough. OH loves banoffee pie, can't say it's one of my faves, pomegranate are also super good for you just a pain in the arse for picking out the seeds. Sometimes I have found that they are a bit gritty and sour but ok I guess. Never had Seitan! Let us know what you think if you have it.......
I want to try vegan tiramisu!! I was a huge tiramisu freak before becoming vegan and I miss it like no other...

don't hold your breath.
Inspiral's tiramisu cake comes fairly close to my memories of the non-vegan version. i'm sure better cooks than me could make a vegan one easily enough...
i can't think of anything i want to try that i've never had before. if i haven't eaten it, it's probably because i don't want to.

I just got an e-mail from the people are veganstore.co.uk about new marshmallows, coming soon.
Sadly, their P&P is a bit hefty, so I might need to buy others things in order to justify them, if they are at a reasonable price.Marshmallows - we will also be launching a new brand of marshmallows (not the kits) from mid August. We'll send out an e shot as soon as we have more information.

I have bought Dandies from iHerb, the shipping is pretty reasonable.
Things I haven't eaten but want to try... hmm I will have to think about that
Houmous atá ann!
I have never eaten chicken or been drinking coffee.
I will not eat anything that walks, swims, flies, runs, skips, hops or crawls.
I second (or third, or wherever we're at) both natto and jicama. I'd also like to try vegan smoked salmon, which apparently is a thing, collard greens, cardoons, salsify, nettles, and fat hen (especially the seeds, which I hear are a lot like quinoa).
"Eventually, I realised that the reason I was so angry was because I want people in the world to be well." - Ian MacKaye
I've tried natto, it has a fermented taste. I like it but I don't get it very often. The last time I got it I burnt it cooking from frozen in the microwave and the smell was quite... pervasive!
Houmous atá ann!
I had a think about it and decided on tiramisu. I've never had it.
I'm sure I will think of other things.
Oh I bought a tin of jackfruit yesterday and plan to make something with it over the weekend. I guess that counts!
Houmous atá ann!
