Kyla, let me specifically invite you to try pierogies ASAP. Not all are made with meat, and these are loverly. Not precisely lowfat, but loverly. 
(You did say vegetarian, not Vegan, right? So you will still consider cheese and butter, right? If not, don’t look at the link, please.)
Heh. I haven’t either, but that’s because it’s full of stuff that I don’t like, namely okra and eggplant (or Lady’s Fingers and Brinjal).
Organ meats. I have never tasted liver, kidney, gizzard, lung, brain, tongue… I enthusiastically eat muscle meats and things in casings, but eating actual identifiable organs? No.
I think there are a lot of mushrooms I have probably never had–and I resent the fact. Basically, if it isn’t a button mushroom or shiitake, I haven’t had it. Maybe I need to splurge on fancy mushrooms at the grocery this week?
Some of the more “exotic” things on this list, I haven’t had because I’ve never been offered them. Jellyfish, fertilized duck eggs. I turned down steak tartare in France last summer, on grounds that I was already feeling queasy. Oh, and swordfish. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten swordfish.
Vegetable-wise, I’ve never partaken in okra, parsnip, spaghetti squash, or endive. And I think the only turnip I’ve ever had was pickled and stuffed into a falafel pita.
I’ve never tasted a currant on its own, though I might’ve had blackcurrant jam once. Same story for the gooseberry.
On to meats: I’d really like to try venison one day. I had an opportunity last night to order rabbit at a Hungarian restaurant, but I chose the wiener schnitzel/chicken paprikash combo instead.
I’ve also never drank bourbon - though it seems to be a more common drink in the States than here in Canada.
But I believe the most common food I’ve never consumed - and I’m not losing any sleep over it - is Spam.
Oh my, oh my oh!
Molly Malone notwithstanding, what’s a cockle?
I’m fairly old and I’ve never drank my first sip of coffee. Just never looked or smelled good to me. I ate a bite of coffee flavored ice cream once, that was enough. I’ve never tried hot tea and only enough iced tea to know I didn’t like it.
Love caffine though, Mountain Dew is like heroin to me!
A cockle is a slimy seafood abomination, resembles an oyster only smaller and firmer. I couldn’t find a decent picture of one but here is a bag of the little blighters.

a naked cockle (work safe!)
I assume you mean the fruit. I’m pretty sure that all species of the bird are protected and are unlikely to be on anyone’s menu.
That sounds tasty tasty! If I ever stop being so lazy, I’ll give it a shot.
A Polish coworker told me she likes dessert pierogies best (I guess they’re like crepes?) and said she’ll bring some in for me when next she makes them. I look forward to it.
I don’t eat any kind of internal organ. I’m usually fairly daring in trying new foods but that’s beyond my capacity. I’ve never even tasted any.
My mother adored raw oysters. I could not even stand the sight of them. So one drunken night I was talked into trying them, and my drunken taste buds decided they were wonderful. I ate about a dozen.
I got hepititis.
I think that’s the sticking point too. I think you can buy canned haggis here though. :eek:
Actually, the funny thing about haggis (had it in Edinburgh) is that the really truly nasty part of the meal isn’t the haggis, it’s the “neeps” that they serve along with it. Unseasoned mashed parsnips aren’t very tasty at all. The “tatties”, which are mashed potatoes are ok.
Haggis just tasted a lot like peppered ground mystery meat to me.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, 90% of the items you listed SUCK like a hoover anyway. Keep away from prepared meats as much as possible. The preservatives they use always give me a headache.
I’ve had every single food mentioned in this thread. But there are a few whose taste I wish I could delete from my memory: haggis, Spam and Limburger cheese. In all three cases, I had to literally force myself to swallow one bite, and keep it down.
I have never had brussel sprouts, foie gras, escargo, raw oysters, bamboo shoots, shark, veal, or turnips.
And unless I had one as a child before I can remember, I have never eaten a hot dog either.
Where? (So I don’t go there by mistake).
For me: not cooked oyster.
Unless you’re a vegetarian, I don’t see how this is possilbe. (Are muscles ‘external’?)
Ew, somebody makes it with shoestring potatoes? They’re supposed to be french-fried onions. I love a good green bean casserole though.
I like your username, by the way.
I’ve never eaten scallops or jello.
