We’re thoroughly enjoying hearing about the mainstream foodstuffs you’ve never tried; here are some of your contributions, and below are some more:
Justin from Gloucester, Massachusetts: there are many things I have never eaten, including fish, apple pie, pickles and baked beans.
English Richard living in France: the mainstream food I have never tried is Walker’s Ready Salted crisps, due to my dislike of ready salted flavour.
Amy: I’m 17 and I’ve never had ANY fizzy drinks or coffee or tea – how unnatural is it to drink bubbles? blurghhhh and I wouldn’t like to be topped up with caffeine all day.
Jed in Glasgow: I have never tried poached egg or any kind of Caesar salad.
Eilidh from Dingwall, Scotland: apart from a little bit of haddock and fish fingers, I’ve not had fish! Another thing I’ve never had is a steak; I’ve no interest 🙂
Keep them coming, unadventurous-mouthed people!

Hi Hellen & Olly.
Greetings from Australia.
I’ve gotten to the advanced age of 43 and I could not tell you what bananas taste like.This has not been wholly voluntarily as when I was a baby my mother tried to forcefeed me one,resulting in the discovery that I am MASSIVELY allergic to them!Having heard the saga of my swollen face,laboured breathing and hive-covered face during this experience & finding the smell rather unappealing,I steadfastly avoided bananas for a good 40 yrs.However I always assumed I had probably grown out of this allergy in adulthood and resolved to try one eventually.However 3 yrs ago for Xmas dessert I had pavlova and was massively ill with vomiting,hives & terrible shaking.Unbeknownst to me, minute amounts of crushed banana were added to the recipe,proving conclusively I am still allergic to the bastards.Because it was a small amount,& the last time I tried them was as a baby,I still have no clue what bananas taste like.I guess I never well.Oh well.

I am 25, I live in the US, went to college, and lived in New York City, and have never tried coffee. Eerily, I am currently listening to Ep. 148 and just heard Ollie read out another girl who has never done this. Unlike her, I despise the smell.

I don’t believe any of these people. They may not like these things, but to say they have never had them, EVER, must be a lie!

My boyfriend has never had any kind of chewing gum. When he was little he didn’t want to try it because he thought it made you stupid (since all the stupid 14-year-olds were chewing it all the time). And now I guess he thinks that there isn’t any reason to try it. (He is now 26 years old).

I have never eaten a banana. At all. Ever. They are Satan’s Fruit.
For some reason, I found not eating bananas really distressing as a child, and when I was 7, I turned down the much sought-after chocolate variety of Fiendish Feet yoghurt for a banana one. This was a huge mistake, the banana one tasted utterly gash.
