Maureen Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Gosh, I watched this one on Saturday or Sunday for the very first time. It was about Marocco. I must say that I echo your sentiments exactly! Quote
Guest Vince Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Anyone tried pollock? Its fish similar in texture to cod and I had it in an Italian restaurant earlier this year, it was delicious. I can't find it anywhere to buy it though!!! We have it quite often, always get it from Morrisons. Quote
supergran71 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 We have it quite often, always get it from Morrisons. Thanks for that Vince, I will visit Morrisons and get some. Quote
lexi Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 lol, even if I tried everything I've heard of, I think there would still be some food I haven't tried but I could never ever eeeeever try snails *yuck* not willingly anyways Quote
poppy Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 but I could never ever eeeeever try snails *yuck* not willingly anyways I have and you're not missing much, they are like little pieces of chewy tasteless rubber. (love your little sparrow avatar ) Quote
lexi Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I have and you're not missing much, they are like little pieces of chewy tasteless rubber. (love your little sparrow avatar ) tasteless actually sounds better then I expected.. just to know in any case (tnx ) Quote
Maureen Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I have bought a piece of venision (shoulder). Never tried this before. Anyone know of a good way to cook it? Quote
Maureen Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) I tried Bambi in a stew - tastes pretty much like Daisy. Edited December 6, 2008 by Maureen spelling mistake! Quote
Angel Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I have bought a piece of venision (shoulder). Never tried this before. Anyone know of a good way to cook it? It can be cooked anyway the same as Beef. Roasted is delicious Quote
Peacefield Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Mmm venison is delicious! We have it quite a bit here in the fall since that's deer hunting season and my friend's dad usually manages to give me some. We have it cooked like a roast, and he also makes it into sausage so it's really good for breakfast or with a vodka sauce over pasta. I've never tried Haggis either, and even though I'm part Scandinavian have never gotten up enough courage to taste Lutefiske. I smelled it one Christmas and swore I'd never eat it, lol. Oh, and when I started watching cooking shows on the Food Network, especially ones that take place down south, I realized I've never had things like collard greens and black eyed peas. Quote
BookBee8 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 If I listed all the foods I haven't tried, it would be endless! I'm such a picky eater. I can't remember the last time I tried something 'new'. Hehe. Quote

BookBee8 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Haha exactly. I love my food but I like all the bad, samey stuff. Like...pizza! I would never, ever try snails. Anyone who does is very brave! Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 OH OH OH! I tried snails. When in Rome as they say.... or in this case, Paris. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 They are, for all the world, like garlic mushrooms Quote
BookBee8 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Oh dear. I hate both. Good job I will avoid them at all costs then . I'm trying to think of something 'ordinary' that I haven't tried... Cheesecake seems very popular and I've never tried that? Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I've never tried it either. I've also never tried beans! Quote
BookBee8 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 You've never tried beans?! I thought literally everyone had tried/liked/loved beans on toast! Hehe, maybe not! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I love cheesecake - especially strawberry. I have never tried lobster or crab but I would like to Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 You've never tried beans?! I thought literally everyone had tried/liked/loved beans on toast! Hehe, maybe not! They look icky Quote
BookBee8 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Haha, yeah, I suppose they do a bit. I've looked at crab and been scared off, so I don't think I could try that! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 They are, for all the world, like garlic mushrooms I don't believe you Wow - can't believe you've tried snails but not beans. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I don't believe you Wow - can't believe you've tried snails but not beans. Well. I was in Paris with an art group, and we were told we were trying snails or going without dinner. They came in these little containers of a garlic sauce. And they had the texture of mushrooms, kinda, and were a bit sour but garlic-y. I ate everyones haha coz I liked them. And beans are just icky. Bleh! The snails didn't LOOk like snails. Quote
Peacefield Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Roxi those snails sound amazing!! The kind I've had definitely did not taste like that. Just another reason for me to go to Paris I guess! lol Mmmm cheesecake. My fave way to have it is plain w/mixed berries drizzled on the top. We have places here like the Cheesecake Factory, and while they have very tasty cheesecake, it tends to get way too rich with all this caramel and chocolate sauce. Stephanie, I hope you get to try lobster one day! It's delicious, but honestly a lot of work for not much to eat at the end, lol. Unless you get something all nicely prepared for you like lobster tail When you guys say beans, what do you mean? Green beans? Baked beans? Quote
