If that's your worst culinary sin, you're alright. And yeah I don't get eating mayo like that it's just gross. Mayo should at most be very lightly spread, and even then rarely. The White Trashest of condiments.

Wait is it supposed to be cooked? If so then it seems like blood sausage... which is surprisingly delicious.

I've actually had this! The nasty looking hairs are actually corn silk, so that's not part of it. It's basically a type of mushroom that grows inside the corn kernel, and tastes like one too. Despite the dark color it tastes like somebody just took a really good portabello, diced it up sauteed it and put in in a tortilla. It tastes a lot like your run of the mill mushroom but kinda sweet from the sugar in the corn.

I love chicken gizzards for some odd reason even after finding out what they are. It's the muscle in the chicken that squeezes poop out. Chewy and delicious though.

Didja Redo posted:

Yeah, but with the seafood, the hard parts stay on the plate. You're eating soft, tender flesh, not a hairy crunchy mass of chitinous legs.

NLJP posted:

Yeah I was thinking about that too. The colour is also completely wrong, cooked blood is more or less black. I guess she could have used a shitload of food colouring but even then it'd be darker or there's hardly any blood there.

This is the best salmiakki in my opinion. Whenever I'm in Finland I buy like twenty boxes of this stuff to bring back to the States to tide me over until I can go back and get more. I've only met one non-Finn who likes it, and I can't fathom why. It's amazing.

Rollersnake posted:

Salmiak is surprisingly not too hard to find in the US—I've seen it at most international/European market-type places, and even a couple regular grocery stores. If you happen to be in the Midwest, I'm quite sure I've seen it at Schnuck's. It's usually this brand.

Is it bad that I would eat 90% of the things in this thread with extreme gusto? I seriously don't see what's wrong with most of them.

Kalos posted:

Most of it's purely psychological. At least where I'm from, eating anything that's described a body part that can be easily humanized is immediately disgusting. I'm not immune to this either. Eyes. Tongues. Face. Feet. Ick.

Also, "Ignorance is bliss" applies doubly when it comes to sausages and soups.

Since someone mentioned it on the last page, Scottish Tablet. It's basically a slab of sugar, butter and condensed milk boiled together.

It tastes incredible.

It looks a bit like fudge, but the texture is totally different. Fudge is soft and chewy, tablet is kinda powdery and crumbles.

In one Survivorman episode he was pulling out Whitchetty grubs from trees in Australia, but he cooked them. The sound and visuals of them crisping up (they straighten when they cook) made them look delicious. Like I wanted to roast up and eat some grubs. Raw, I'd pass.

Most if not all food pictures from the 60s/70s would fit the thread perfectly, that's why that pâté didn't look very appetizing.

Well, it's finally happened.



The process of slowly replacing everything in our diet with more bacon is almost complete

In a few months we will be eating bacon weave quesadillas filled with bacon and bacon with some bacon on the side for dipping. Accompanied with a tall, cool glass of bacon.

Yes that's the ticket! Giant crickets and grasshoppers to munch on while you weep silently about the terrible apocalypse that lead to all forms of food that aren't nightmare monsters to disappear. And while you chew, you can thank the god you stopped believing in that THESE giant bugs didn't turn into Starship Troopers bug aliens and develop giant face suckers and stabby feets.

Also crustaceans are too groovy to eat. I had a pet lobster that was way more awesome and loving than any cat I've ever had. Poor delicious sea bugs.

From what I've seen from hanging out in GWS either Americans are taught to be extremely panicky about food safety or your food is just less safe than ours.

I made home-made filet américain with frites for an American friend one time and he put it in his mouth like it was a live granade or something. I didn't have the heart to tell him that the fresh mayo he was shovelling into his face involved raw eggs

On my first trip to Japan, we were eating at a Korean BBQ place when I picked up this one piece of meat from the brazier. My host sister started gesturing to her mouth. I told her, "But it's too hot to eat," so she suggested I dip it in raw egg first (something else that took getting used to) while she flipped through her pocket dictionary. I did, and popped the slice in my mouth. Meanwhile, she had found the word she'd been looking for: "Tongue," she informed me. "That was tongue." I swallowed very carefully and said, "Oh. Was it? Interesting."

If they are alligator gar, they don't eat them on the West Coast because they don't live there, really.

bamhand posted:

Why are they bad for you? Is the meat really fatty? I would imagine if it were lean meat + animal gelatin it wouldn't be bad for you at all right?

bamhand posted:

But you could theoretically make one out of lean meat right? I've had gelatin made of big ears where the big white patches were slivers of cartilage. I can see how that would gross even more people out though.

If the Mexican foods isle of my local H-E-B is any indication, all Mexican candy is required by law to contain tamarind. Powder or paste, it's your choice, but that poo poo has got to be in there or you're off to prison, señor. The only thing exempt from this is Bubulubu.

Worst candy I've ever eaten. I tried so hard to give it a chance but it defeated me.

That reminds me of this candy I see in a lot of the local shops:


Something about a bag of spoons with paste on them is really amusing to me

Tamarind and watermelon? How'd it taste?

Baldbeard posted:

Yeah, tamarind and chili/lime I think.
Here's a bonus quote from the manufacturers description:

And then you guys give it like a hundred different names and import it up here. Attention mexico, please send less dry crumbly cheeses and more of anything else. I should not have to drive 45m each way to buy queso oaxaca. I mean, look at all these cheeses! Please send us some of them. The El Salvadorans have crumbly cheeses and weird creme fraiche stuff covered for us, please send other cheeses. Thanks.

I've something similiar to that spaghetti cake before, it was really good. it was cooked spaghetti that they tossed with creme fresh, onions, tomato paste, sausages and cheese. then they baked it it in the oven until the cheese made a nice crist all the way around.
