Iambjm Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 For me it was giblets n gravy on rice, now that is what I call snot rockets. We were pretty poor, so mom had to make do with what she had and giblets (chicken gizzards) were only ten cents a pound. My mom was a great cook, and could bake up a storm if she had the goods.

SkitterPopper Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well, I was goose hunting in North Dakota with some family and friends and we went to this bar. I will let the image say the rest. I will never try them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 My daughter still likes chicken giblets with gravy on mashed potatos or on egg noodles. But I'll bet she never served them to my grandkids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Just wondering...what is worse, the baalut or the San Miguel that you either drank for the courage to eat the baalut or to wash down the baalut?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_redhorse Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I gotta think a few mouthfuls of "head cheese" when I was a kid and also blood sausage!...."head cheese"geletinous mass of chunks of a pigs head(and whatever else is in the stuff not really sure)...my grandmother loved the stuff!(she's been dead for 43 years god rest her soul)...man those old timers really ate weird...old country stuff no doubt!...she conned me into eating "head cheese' and "blood sausage" as a kid!...I watched a guy at local meat plant here in Hibbing(Fraboni's) make blood sausage back in the 70's...owner of the meat company had 55 gallons of blood from a pig and was stirring it with a paddle so it wouldn't "clot"...then he said he would add rice to the slimy glop and spices(mainly nutmeg I think)...that was the end of my blood sausage eating days...Lol! .....

Jim Almquist Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Jonny you gave me a good laugh this morning. I forgot about blood sausage but that was only served at the grandparents who were both full blooded Germans who still talked to there friends in german when ever they chatted. I did try it ONCE. Head cheese NEVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Bismarck, moved out here in 2000. Still like it back there. Hated it when I lived there, but now I wouldn't mind moving back. Miss the quite of ND, not so much the cold though. Anyone ever tried Tiger Meat? Got it at butchers out there. It's raw hamber with seasoning and is cured. Put it on crackers. That's tastey too.

SkitterPopper Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 BigWade, It is a tee shirt from a bar in Upham North Dakota. They had a rocky mountain oyster feed every year. I was persuded to try one. The old saying that everything deep fried is good is not true in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upham -- holy smokes great waterfowling up there, but serisouly they aren't that bad, I went to college in Dickinson and had a bunch of friends that were from Montana and had ranches. Went out and helped them do the brandings and have them fresh over an open fire, not too bad, but then again, beer helps wash most things away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkitterPopper Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Quote: Upham -- holy smokes great waterfowling up there You are correct. My grandfather lives only 15 miles from the J Clark Sawyer refuge. I could sit up there all day without a gun and just watch in awe as the thousands of ducks and geese come off the water every morning. But of course the gun makes it so much more fun.

sarah505 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Oh, that reminds me of the one time I went to have sushi with a friend and they were eating those GROSS pink shrimps that kind of LOOK at you while you eat them. So I was desperately trying not to look at them eating, and in the end they convinced me to have one myself, saying it was delicious and I really should try. So I took a tiny bite … and spit it out.

The Grebe Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't know if you would call it food, but I ate a leech once...didn't chew it, just popped it in and swallowed it on a bet. Drank a beer real fast just to make sure it was kilt...that probaby explains why I ate it in the first place...the beer that is. Ate a baby octopus...nasty looking little critter, looked like a hairless boiled spider, a tarantula...didn't think it tasted very good either! Some say that lutefisk is nasty, I thought it was okay...I was with a bunch of Norskies, had to say it was okay or risk a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovermn Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't know if you would call it food, but I ate a leech once...didn't chew it, just popped it in and swallowed it on a bet. Dirty jobs was up in Northern MN with a leech harvester. They fileted them, battered and deep fried those little buggers. Mike actually like 'em! I'd have to say Cows Tongue. Tasted alright, but couldn't get past the fact that I was tasting something that could taste me back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 In 10th grade chemistry, we were putting live fatheads in liquid nitrogen.Well, a buddy bet me $10 I wouldn't eat a fathead, so I went up, got one, bit it in 1/2, with the guts trailing out (right in front of the whole class) and continued to eat it.Yes, it was still alive.

When they butchered a cow, they ate the whole thing including making blood sausage (still haven't tried that) and tongue and you're right, it wasn't too bad.

Big Tom Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I've tried Lutefisk, (lousy thing to do to a Cod), calf fries, (another name for Rocky Mountain Oysters), and a pretty fair share of other things mentioned here. The most awful things I have eaten were pickled pigs feet, Oyster Stew, (I love clam chowder), and fish in France called cold, red mullet. After two weeks in France I believe the french can certainly cook, just so ling as it doesn't involve fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I was in the Philippines for a for a couple weeks. These people eat some strange stuff Most of it I just watched them eat, but one after noon I was taken out for dinner and they ordered in their language so I didn't have a clue as to what I was eating til after the meal. Most of it was pretty straight forward, fried oysters, grilled swordfish, but there was two that were a little off the normal chart, one was fried pigs ears(actually pretty good) and something else that they wouldn't even tell me what I was eating, edible but I can only imagine what the fed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
