People often have a pre-conceived notion of whether or not they will like a particular food before they’ve tried it. Some refuse to even try the food because of those notions. Other times, people will try something new once and if they don’t like the way it was prepared, they won’t eat that kind of food again. Still others are willing to try almost anything with an open mind.
This poll is about your feelings regarding foods you’ve never eaten before.

Thank you! I’m glad that you liked it/them! :))
Very good work………
Thank you very much!
Super food quiz!!! Like to samle new dishes, but try to avoid too unusual or exotic food, who knows how it will influence on my health. And this is a small surprise for you – https://virily.com/culture/ancient-scandinavian-runes-for-my-virily-friends-part-1/
It is sometimes surprising how good some foods are that people in another area or region haven’t even considered eating. I can think of a couple of simple examples: Chickweed and purslane. In the US, both are usually treated as troublesome weeds. Yet, both are tasty, nutritious, and people in Europe commonly grow and eat them.
i love to eat those foods in that photo lol
Would you try them even if you didn’t know what they were?
It also depends on who cooks the dish I have not tried! Venison is great and I could eat it every day.
You have a point. You might need to trust the person who is preparing the food. Then again, that is probably true even if the food is something you’ve tried before.
I have tried, for example, mussels and I do not like it. Generally, I’m not fed up with food.
If you like other shellfish, I’d guess that I could probably make you some mussels that you’d enjoy. I love them when they are prepared in certain ways and I’m not crazy about them if they are made in other ways.
Perhaps? Suggest a recipe. I’ll try. We are a region rich in marine delicacies. And at the port are sold at a very reasonable price.
I’ll see what I can come up with. I do enjoy a good mussel chowder. Perhaps that would work? I believe that I also have a recipe for mussel fritters that is tasty.
As long as its not my favorite animal or INSECTS!!!
Ican’t eat any kind of insects cooked or not!!
It is interesting that in many countries and cultures, eating certain insects is commonplace.
A nice one, thanks for sharing
You are quite welcome.
I must admit that I saw unusual food and I would gladly try to consume it.
Very good work.
That is great to hear. Many people tend to be confined in what they will and will not eat. That is a pity because there is a huge potential selection of foods out there.
Nice poll, Rex! As you may have gathered, I’m a try-anything-(at least)-twice kind of guy 😉
I tend to be the same way, Norman. Quite a few foods that I really enjoy were due to taking the plunge and trying something new.
