Godsgift: Similar to yourself. A few years back I was invited by a friend to Christmas dinner. They were having goose which I wouldn't be the keenest on but I ate out of politeness. She said it was stuffed with sweet breads....I kept eating....and then some idiot informed me what sweet breads were! I could eat no more

Pass the trifle!



oooo, i LOVE sweetbreads...fried up in butter, maybe with bacon...yummy

jeffc320: My dad used to cook pigs feet when i was small. Apparently i loved them. Not a chance these days.
Goat curry in Jamaica was ok if a little fatty with gristle. I absolutely love whitebait in my local Italian restaurant, tiny little fish deep fried whole with salad and tartare sauce.


is whitebait otherwise known as smelt???

demonfairy: When i was young i spent the night with a friend.Her mother fixed us brains&eggs scrambled...I liked it,but she didn't tell me that i was eating pig brains and eggs till after wards.... What is the strangest food you have eaten?


Normal food for me: chicken stomachs & hearts in a soup - lovely! Pig's ears in brine - yummy! Chicken bums (the parson's nose, not the acutual bum) barbecued in Jerudong Park, Brunei - simply divine!!!

Had frog's legs, but didn't think much of them.

Strange food for me would be toasted spiders...

have actually had porcupine, caribou, calimari, a Greek cheese that is served on fire, and out here we eat smelt, a kind of squishy small narrow trout-like fish. (I don't like it) Mussells, if they're not in "red" season, crawdads, which are very good. Can't think of anything else right now.

eeeow! porcupine? and after you used the quills for toothpicks?

I have feta in my fridge right now...always have iton hand.
My dad used to go fishing at night for smelt, best time to catch them. Always had a freezer full. I wouldn't touch them until I grew up..then found out i'd missed something.
Mussells make me ill, but love clams and oysters, calimari deep fried ok, but rubber like, would rather have fried clams.

all right smarty pants:

As I sat down one evening, within a small cafe
A forty year old waitress to me these words did say
I see you are a logger, and not a common bum
'Cause nobody but a logger stirs his coffee with his thumb

My husband was a logger, there's none like him today
If you'd pour whiskey on it, he'd eat a bale of hay
He never shaved the whiskers from off his rough old hide
He'd drive them in with a mallet, and bite them off inside

This logger was a terror, and I don't want to boast
But every morning for breakfast he'd eat rattlesnakes on toast
For sauce he'd use their venom, to cure his hunger pangs
Then wipe his chin with the rattle, and clean his teeth with
the fangs... love you!

ladyfingers: very cute....
I have a very good friend from Oz--they eat all kinds of things, toads, roasted beetles, gators, the whole maryann--of course they don't think anything of it, usually it's in the Outback, similar to us camping and cooking shrimp over a fire, etc...

I've eaten many kinds of foods and nothing is ever
strange for me to eat as I'm not a picky eater.



Oksok:rendered fat from a seal (nuttek)

Seal intestines braided and boiled

Muktuk:skin of whale

Polar Bear feet

Caribou brains (boiled to perfecton)
tongue
heart
liver


Ground squirrel boiled or cooked over an open fire.

*All meat snad bones are used in one way or another
so nothing is ever wasted.
