When I first met Mrs C, nigh on 35 years ago now, I was taken aback when I discovered that not only had she never had fish and chips, nobody in her family had either. After some years, when we were all on holiday, the night came when we were agreed we had finally got as far as trying it.
We got to the car park, at which point they all said they wouldn't actually fancy trying it after all.
So to my knowledge none of them, including my wife, have ever tasted fish and chips. I don't know why. They just seem to think that fried fish would be disgusting and none of them eat chips in any shape or form anyway.
When I get them from the local chippy, I know better than to eat them in the house when she is about. Nasty things, apparently.
Her dad, now dead, never to my knowledge tried so much as a mouthful of curry or a bite of pizza either, and none have ever had any kind of takeaway. Actually, Mrs C did try a Macdonalds once. Predictably she hated it, even though she only had a bit of the burger.
Takes all sorts I guess!
