Food you have never tried but wonder if you might have missed something

When you grow up poor you eat whatever is in front of you. Today even though it is a mixed bag regarding health, we do lots of fast food. Just easy and simple.
 
Sardines. I read an artixle about tinned sardines and started thinking about it. Ive alwaus avoided them. Oily little fish with the bones still in them. Never fancied them.But I might be persuaded.

Bagels is another one. They just havent been part of my culture. They look like a bread roll with a hole in the middle. I cant see the attraction but im willing to try if its worth my while.

What things have you missed that you might like to try ?
Where foods are concerned I've tried everything I have come to know in life, if I don't like it I keep trying it until I do, [olives have been one of the toughest to overcome]...
... and I can eat spring peas but not regular pea, also liver is still on the to do list and lox are not getting another shot...as for bagels they are a regular part of the nyc diet, many a common man has made a fortune on long Island in the bagel market!
... btw, as a tie in to your sardine lead in I was about 9 years old when I decided to start this way of trying to eat new things as I was fishing off the dock when I noticed my father was using sardines as chum so I tried one and I was the one that got hooked...

One of the biggest advantages to eating all foods is you can diet and not go hungry [ever] by always having something available that does not adversely affect your particular taste or diet.

/----/ When I moved to NY from South in 1971, I was offered a half bagel with cream cheese, lox, sliced onion, and capers. It was then I realized there was a whole new world of food to explore. I tried Greek, Jewish, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, authentic Italian, French, Mexican, and Indian. I didn't care for Mexican back then, but it seems to be better now. I can't eat Indian.

I moved here in 64, could not believe the amount of cheese NY'ers use, being from Pa/NJ where meat ravioli was the preferred NY'ers barely touched it when cheese ravioli was available, and I could not find one person who preferred a hamburger to a cheeseburger.

when I was young I drove a seafood truck in Manhattan and had to meat a driver from Delaware for some crabs and I saw he was eating something and asked what it was he was eating and he showed me a plain bagel and said "nothing this doughnut is terrible"...lol

yeah, same here, and I love all of them, in fact Thai and Indian are the kick I'm on now.

I grew up in NYC so pizza and bagels were a staple. I've always loved trying new foods and every cuisine offers something to love. I can list the foods I've tried but won't eat: beets, celery, sea slugs, and chicken/duck feet.
