It is not recommended that you do so. Whenever possible you should try to give only fish food to your goldfish. Don't give it food that you eat because it could kill them.

What goldfish do goldfish eat?
Goldfish are a form of carp. They don't eat other goldfish, but they eat small flies. Sometimes goldfish like to eat tiny tropical critters such as ghost shrimp, but they don't eat other goldfish unless there's a huge size difference or if the other goldfish are frys. Occasionally, goldfish may nip on another goldfish's fins if it is weak. There aren't any specific goldfish that goldfish themselves target.
What do goldfish?
Goldfish flakes and others but I recommend goldfish flakes you can find them at almost any pet store. They can also eat fruits and vegetables like spinach, peas, cucumber, zucchini, carrots, corn, grapes, Oranges, plums, cantaloupe watermelon, and grapefruit All of these foods should be peeled and cut into small piece's Mashing them slightly is also good to do. Goldfish will also enjoy eating krill, brine shrimp, bloodworms, tubifex worms, mosquito larvae, and daphnia.If you have a fishpond and quite a few large goldfish, try cat food. Just buy a brand that has a spherical pellet so that it is easier for the fish to swallow. I am not an expert, but I have looked at the ingredient lists of big bags of fish food, and I think it is made from the same things as cat food, and I don't think a goldfish has to have a perfect nutritional diet. I have had a 4000 gallon goldfish pond with a complete set up of filters, pumps, etc. for about 12 years. It holds about 12 large goldfish (plus about 100 little ones) that are all descendants of the original fish. The average age of the fish is about 5 years. They all have excellent color and appear to be healthy, happy fish. They get a handful of cat food twice a day.Please do not be surprised or shock when your goldfish don't eat any of the foods in the first paragraph. The old saying "Goldfish will eat anything that fits in its mouth" is only half true. Goldfish have tastebuds around their lips, and all inside their mouth. Goldfish have their likes and dislikes in about everything. My two goldfish both broccoli and lettuce, cabbage, chicken, and tuna, as well as chicken eggs. Please make sure you give your goldfish peas it helps them with digestion.fishflakes

What is Tropical fish flakes?
Tropical fish flakes tend to have more/different contents because they are designed to feed several different species of fish that require a varied diet. Goldfish food is designed for just one species of fish. Since there are both Goldfish food and Tropical food available it is common sense to feed the fish the correct and appropriate foods. The answer therefore is they can and may eat them but they are not the right food for them so eventually the fish will suffer.
