I am frankly surprised I have eaten just about all the foods mentioned above. H is an adventurous traveler and D’s love exotic places and foods from them.

Adding cream of anything to lasagna should be illegal. Actually cooking with any condensed soup should be illegal (except the dried vegetable soup mix that goes into spinach dip, I buy it during Jewish holidays because kosher is gluten free). I made the mistake of making lasagna with zucchini instead of noodles (slice very thin, salt and rinse, grill before layering) and now my kids won’t eat it with (gf) noodles.

Oh, I was unclear. I’ve never tried lasagna or those types of casseroles. But yes that would be a double no for me if cream of whatever soup was added to lasagna!
You’d have starved if you grew up in the midwest.
I’m really surprised how many people won’t eat Indian food. You don’t know what you are missing.

I did grow up where those casseroles were common!

I’m with you. Nope.
Also, sushi. I do not “do” sushi.
Me, too, and that’s why I don’t care for them either.
Meatloaf is a Midwest staple, too, but I could never bring myself to try it after I saw how it was made.

Okay, I’ve never tried any sort of raw fish or oysters, or the McRib. Pretty sure I never will.
We are not adventurous eaters and had never tried Indian food until our anniversary last year when we went to a new restaurant in town. We loved it!
Decided to try this butter chicken sauce from Costco and it’s amazing. My pantry is stocked with it.
I feel embarrassed to say I love Taco Bell, I cook with cream soups, and I make a delicious turkey meatloaf lol
I’ve always liked squid and octopus, but I’d never tried preparing them from scratch until very recently. I’m not sure it’s worth the effort. But I also discovered that Costco sells some very nice prepared octopus.
I’ve never eaten a corn dog or a bratwurst. I worked in our parish concession stand growing up and thought they both looked disgusting.

I’ll try anything. I mostly am not a fan of fermented food - kombucha and sauerkraut in particular. Kimchi is okay.
I can’t think of anything I’ve never tried except things that are only served in fast food chains. I don’t eat in them unless I am desperate.
My tastes are very broad. I will try literally any food and generally find I like it just fine, though I prefer my meats and vegetables not sweetened or coated with sweet sauces. An exception: I do like mint jelly with roast leg of lamb.
But I don’t go to fast food restaurants so I haven’t tried much of what they sell. Never ate at a Chick fil-A.
I’ve never had lobster, oysters, eggs Benedict, Dr Pepper, Boba tea or pumpkin spice anything.
Even in Colorado I think these are more joked about than eaten… but they do appear on menus.
Among foods that appear on lists of top # most popular foods in US, I’ve never had hash browns or nachos. I also haven’t had a good portion of popular ethnic cuisine dishes such as chicken masala, pad thai, or garlic naan.

I love ethnic foods such as sushi, Japanese, Peruvian, Vietnamese, Korean, Tofu Hotpot, Indian, Taiwanese, Philippine, Thai, Greek, Singaporean, etc.
I don’t do traditional pizza, burgers and hot dogs any longer, which still seem popular.

Can we also make it illegal to use, of all things, cottage cheese in lasagna??

I’ve had the Costco octopus, it’s pretty good! Living in Soprano land, calamari is like chicken, although once I bought it whole and not cleaned/deboned, and H was in charge of cooking it and was not happy (I just though it was whole).

Yes yes yes! We joke about this all of the time, in Paula Deena’s accent, “if you don’t have ricotta you can just use cottage cheese!” Never, not once, have I come across a lasagna made with cottage cheese, bechamel yes.

I do all of them.
