From the array of exotic food available at most supermarkets, you might think Britons are adventurous eaters.

Not so, according to a study.

It found 68 per cent of adults would refuse to try some foods, such as liver, sprouts and sushi – even if it was bought, prepared and served to them free.

A third have never tried mussels or sea bass, 45 per cent have never eaten goat’s cheese and one adult in five has never consumed an olive, asparagus or aubergine.

More than half of adults (53 per cent) say they have no desire to try new foods and 40 per cent do not encourage their children to experiment.

The study, by the goat’s cheese maker Capricorn, found that while many youngsters have never eaten sardines (25 per cent) or avocado (33 per cent), 75 per cent had tried chips by the age of two and half had tucked into a curry by six.

Psychologist Dr Richard Woolfson suggested that this showed parents were ‘imposing their own preconceptions on to their children’.

I'm finding it hard to believe that 68% of adults in the UK have never eaten liver and onions...

[SisterMaryFellatio]

lol Since when have Brussel Sprouts, liver and aubergine been called exotic?

I can understand people not trying mussels (dont know what to do with them) or sea bass...(prolly expensive)

Pudd was weaned on liver and kidneys....great nutritionally and cheap cos we were skint. However i get pissed off when I buy them I have to look in the fresh pet food section in the supermarket!


Last time I had to ask the butcher in Coles for them and he was astounded I was making Steak and Kidney Pie and we would eat them!

I can understand people not trying mussels (dont know what to do with them)

Mussels Marinara is on just about every Italian resturants menu here on Long Island.

You can pretty much cook mussels the same you would a regular clam.

Clams aren't that popular in the UK either oldr...

Hairy ones are...

All significant truths are about private parts. As they become public they cease to become private; they become facts, or at best, part of the public character; or at worst, catchwords. Like Clam Lapper or such.

There. Fixed that for you Stroppy the Clam Gobblerster ~ :
