[Cherry Eyed Hamster]

I’ve yet to try Boba Tea. I hear all my friends rave about it but there’s something about it that looks and sounds so disgusting. I don’t like food with gelatinous textures and the sight of the black balls at the bottom of the cups skeeves me out.

 

[Tootsie Bear]

Never had Chipotle.

Same here. Their food does look good from the pictures I can see searching. However, it reminds me of those delivery sponsors such as Blue Apron rather than authentic Mexican cuisine. I'll be honest it does look better than Taco Bell. So they have that going for them.

I’ve never had one of those freakshakes and don’t plan on it. The desserts piled on top of those things probably taste better and are less awkward to eat if they’re separate from the milkshake itself.

Big black balls in your drink should skeeve you out.

Tax: I’ve never eaten a tuna fish sandwich, or tuna casserole. They seem like such staple foods for kids to have eaten growing up, but I hate seafood, and even just the smell of tuna made me want to gag.

You can try popping boba. Little balls with fruity juice inside.

 

[hog cranking frog]

Never had a shrimp or any sea bug. Far too old to develop a taste for seafood I think at this point. Happy for all you that enjoy it though.

What exactly is a root beer and is it any good?

Pretty much the same. I've also never had a tuna melt, but I've also never seen anyone order a tuna melt or have seen it on a restaurant menu.

Carbonated sweet beverage made from sassafrass roots. I like it, other people don't

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

ive never had octopus. or mac and cheese. or vanilla coke. or a banana split. or pig ear.
are any of those yummy or what

Octopus is great, but it gets it from a higher end restaurant so they don't overcook it.

Poutine. I would like to someday, but availability + feeling I could work that monstrosity into my diet that day has never aligned.

I rarely eat fast food anymore, so I've never tried restaurants that have popped up (in my area, at least,) in the last 10 years or so- Jersey Mike's, Wing Stop, Pita Pit, Five Guys.

Poutine is great but outside Canuckland it's vastly inferior.

As far as the chains go, Five Guys are worth it ONCE for the heart attack greasy fries and never again. Wing Stop is awful and notoriously bad for their service. Pita Pit is meh. Jersey Mike's is okay but nothing special. You are missing literally nothing.

I've never had KFC.

Keep it that way.

I want to say Monster, but that's intentional on account of its high caffeine intake.

I never had a Mr. Pibb before.

Your loss. Mr.Pibb is infinitely better soda than coke or Pepsi combined. It's still soda at the end of the day, but I'd go out of your way for Pibb.

I've never had tiramisu, it just looks gross. Italian food is otherwise pretty good.

It's just custard, lady fingers, and coffee. It's delicious, and I've never met someone who didn't like it.

I've never had those ketchup flavored potato chips some people are obsessed with because I cannot stand the smell or taste of ketchup. It makes me ill.

Then don't. They literally taste like ketchup and potato chips.

Never tried In n Out. I live in the PNW and people absolutely jizz themselves over that restaurant here, but my contrarian ass is just avoiding it purely because of all the overhype it gets at this point.

Whataburger is better. Also it is very overhyped.

I’ve yet to try Boba Tea. I hear all my friends rave about it but there’s something about it that looks and sounds so disgusting. I don’t like food with gelatinous textures and the sight of the black balls at the bottom of the cups skeeves me out.

I love Chipotle but mostly due to how filling it is. There are much better Mexican joints out there, hell even Taco Bell is better for some things, but Chipotle always ends up being two meals.

I've never had a macaron, I like meringue but macarons look dry AF

They are as dry as you think they are.


I've never eaten coconut crab before but always wanted to.

 

[The Last Stand]

Your loss. Mr.Pibb is infinitely better soda than coke or Pepsi combined. It's still soda at the end of the day, but I'd go out of your way for Pibb.

If I find one, I'll buy it just for you. Are they still around?

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

If I find one, I'll buy it just for you. Are they still around?

I'm sure you can find it somewhere. If you come across the regular one and not that PibbXtra crap, definitely try it.

what does it taste like?

 

[Squanto Airi]

what does it taste like?

Overall sweet, but has some slight vanilla-y and root-y flavors due to the sassafrass and some companies adding vanilla into it.

 

[pork and beans]

Octopus is great, but it gets it from a higher end restaurant so they don't overcook it.

Ugh, true. I wanna try a typical octopus dish called “pulpo a la gallega”… someday

It's meh. (Bubble tea)

It’s yummy if you like the tea flavor and the chewy texture; tapioca pearls or jelly don’t taste like much by themselves.

I think it’s worth trying at least once as long as you get it from a joint that isn’t overpriced.

Wouldn’t say it’s good enough to, like, crave it. So definitely kind of meh.

I love Chipotle but mostly due to how filling it is

Same but with a durum from whatever dingiest kebab place you have nearest. There just isn’t a better five dollars to fast food dinner ratio LOL

I have never had a steak at an expensive steak house. I am low budget but damn it I love to dream about going into one of those places once in my lifetime.

 

[Fatal Shooting]

I have never drunk a cup of coffee in my life.

 

[Redoniblueoni]

Chik fil A and 5 guys because I'm allergic to peanuts lol RIP

 

[The Fair Lady]

Huge chicken lover and I've never had Raising Cane's, though I'd love to eventually.

 

[Clovis]

I haven't tried most processed shite. I've never had a maccy Ds breakfast, Gregg's pasty or PSL. I've never drunk Mountain Dew, either.
If I ever try peanut butter it will be as the lamest possible suicide attempt.

 

[Damien Thorne]

I have never consumed absinthe. I have never danced with the green fairy, nor imbibed the emerald wine.

And since now I am a recovering alcoholic, I never will. Heh.
