Intestines which have been washed and packed full of lovely succulent meat from the ears, hooves, balls etc all mashed into sausages are totally fine by me!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of interesting stuff there, when it comes to new food I am game to try almost anything, one of my pet peeves is being told I can't eat something because I am gaijin with an uncultured mouth unable to appreciate the finer qualities of indigenous foods. Pigs colon? bring it on I say, if its anything like cows colons, it going to be extra-ordinary masticating experience! I would be a good contestant on one of those fear factor shows, though there was one thing that would be beyond my limit on that show, perhaps you have seen it: the liquefied dead rat smoothie - now that is absolutely vile! Hokitika in NZ has a very popular 'Wild foods festival' - an annual extravaganza of weird and wacky foods, any kiwi's on here been to that and tried huhu grubs or mountain oysters? *Jules: No man, I don't eat pork. Vincent: Are you Jewish? Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all. Vincent: Why not? Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood. Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf***er. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces. Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces. Jules: I don't eat dog either. Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way. Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true? Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherf****n' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

thursday 1 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 good stuff SG. Shame Vincent had to die. The Fear Factor, they tell you what it is so you have a barnie, but is it really what they say it is? Link to post Share on other sites

Ezorisu 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The crispier they are, the more likely they are to have "natural" skins! Sausages are good and good for you! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hmmm, not sure about that. I hate the plastic things you get most of the time here. Yuck. I'm actually quite fussy about the sausage I like. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 One of my Saturday morning jobs at Snelson's, "The Family Butcher" was "running out the guts". Lunchtime saw me get paid 12/6d, a piece of steak and a bunch of home-made sausages. Yum. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I also got to see a lot of tapeworms. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Tapeworms are amazing things. Several metres long, no problemo. Is there a Cantonese recipe for cooking them? My ex-wife likes dog. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Soubs, I guess anything you find disgusting would be somehow connected with your ex who happens to be a banana. There's no tapeworm recipe that I know of, so perhaps your ex would have one. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sorry thursday, I'm being mean. True story. We had a banquet. Everyone ordered fish or seafood, which I don't eat. Everyone had a stab at my dish, it being the odd-one-out. When the turntable came to me, there was nothing leaft. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That has happened to me more than a few times soubriquet. Annoying isn't it? The only solution is to nab it for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites

js 0 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Commercially made brawn ... WTF is that? Triple YUK! We make the home-made stuff: take one pigs head, clean it (remove brain, eyes and hair) then boil it, meanwhile cook some shin beef, and cut up lots of parsley. Drain pigs head, remove meat and cut into small cubes, likewise with shin beef. Mix in parsley and salt/pepper - can add onions/garlic/tomatoes, but it reduces the shelf life of the finished product. Put in a bowl, place a weight on top and refrigerate (the natural gelatin cements the mass together). When cold, slice it and eat with home-made chutney (savoury), bread, etc. YUM-O! Other than that, the weidest thing I've eaten is the Sea Urchin - three different types of meat in one little spikey ball! Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 >Other than that, the weidest thing I've eaten is the Sea Urchin - three different types of meat in one little spikey ball!< In Indonesia once, I saw an old lady prize an urchin from the rocks, split it open, then sprinkle a little white powder over the urchin meat. I asked her what the powder was and she showed me the sachet with MSG boldly displayed on it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 A fresh sea urchin has so much "flavor" as-is. Why someone would want to go crank that up a notch with MSG is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 OK, I had some Canadian beef jerky the other day. It was like eating a shoe. How the eff can one chew that stuff and still have teeth left. Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The good jerky is awesome! Bloody expensive tho. I'd say more like chewing on a boot than a shoe tho. Weirdest things I've eaten are chicken sashimi and a live eel's heart with sake Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I love sasami (raw chicken breast)! Haven't had an eel's heart - sounds like the kind of stuff that gets inflicted upon gaijin, but is rarely eaten by Japanese themselves! Link to post Share on other sites
