Doesn't matter how cute they are. I'm not eating Menudo.
The group or the entrails.
I think the last time I et organ meat was about 20 years
ago when I had sweetbread at a nice restaurant.
It was good, but there's something peculiar about eating glands.

Art-ee-chokes.

Thanks, Lazarus.
But I can say unequivocally (or categorically, thanks Nixon conspirators)
that I do NOT want to ingest anything that is partially digested, whether by
maggots or lye, or is in process of being digested by anything other than ME.
One great thing for all the larvae aficionados: they sure is plentiful.

Speaking of "larva aficionados" and their ilk, I have read that the existence of nasty, disgusting foods in a country's cuisine indicates prior famine, when people chose between eating things they would not normally eat, or starve.

Laz.... you put my post to shame.

Good job!!!

Your post was awesome too.

The other day, I overheard someone at work talking about "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and I got to thinking about that dinner which included chilled monkey brains. It got me to remember some things I had read or heard about the monkey or baboon strapped below a table with its head poking up thru a hole in the middle of the table. Well, if you've seen the movie, you know what happens, except that the primate in this case has his brains spooned out while he is alive. I proceeded to check it out on the web, only to find that it is an urban legend. Ah, well...

Crap bean coffee and maggot cheese-

Kopi Luwak coffee which is coffee beans eaten, partially digested, then pooped out the arse of a Civet, collected and roasted for a brew.

Casu Marzu, decomposing watery cheese infested with live jumping maggots.

What,no mention of Mickey Dee's yet?

I can eat Wendy's, but Burger King and McDonalds is a guaranteed stomach ache for me.

My brother has some Durian growing here. I liken it to smelling like a sewer and tasting like heaven! It's a bit of a mind-f*** to eat

We have some and he has a lot of tropical fruit, both common and uncommon, growing... jaboti caba, waxy jambu, paw paw, jack fruit, mango, avocado, black sapote, various guava varieties, finger lime, Davison plum, sandpaper fig, the list goes on and on. It's fun wandering around between his place and mine and having a feast!

When I visited Jakarta, I got to eat a lot of "odd" things... chicken brains, goat lung, grasshoppers, bull testicles. In Korea I had a meal of puppy and right here at home I have eaten kangaroo, snake, honey ants, crocodile and witjuti grubs.

No wonder I'm mostly vegetarian now

You guys need to search out "The BUsh Tucker Man" tv series (there are torrents of it about the 'net) for a good old dose of Aussie bush tucker The Crocodile Hunter (idiot) had nothing on Major Les Hiddens!!!

just about everything they tend to serve over at the monthly adventist potluck that i'm occasionally forced to attend...

Have any of you been following the show on the Travel Channel in which this fellow travels all over, eating weird stuff as he goes? I don't recall the show's title, but have seen an episode or two.
