What's your favorite "gross" food?

Post by **Looneybomber** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:57 am

You know what I'm talking about, that food you eat that everyone kinda scrunchs their face up when they look at it. The reason I thought of it, is 'cause I'm eating mine right now.

Menudo with a side of collard greens.

Menudo is a hispanic soup made of beef tripe (cow stomach), homony and seasonings. I've had it made from pork before, but it just wasn't the same. It's absolutly delicious and I eat it a few times/week. The mexican's I used to work with couldn't believe I (an american) would eat it! I brought it to work and ate it at lunch one day. My friend John had to leave the room, he was getting sick just thinking about it

Fried chcken livers

Brussels sprouts

Collard greens

Yep. I eat 'em.

aint' nothing wrong with greens and brussel sprouts.

I don't care for chicken livers...it's like eating some kinda weird meat paste.

gizzards...eh...the smell like hell when you cook them.

I buy Kimchi in 1 gallon jugs at Lotte, lol.

Oh, and +1 to the greens and brussels sprouts.

I also LOVE most offal, when properly prepared. This includes the above-mentioned chicken livers, but I also really like:

-Sweetbreads (try deep frying, wow!)-Calf's Brain-Calf's Liver (foie de veau) - seared on the outside and molten on the inside

Naturally, this also encompasses poultry offal forcemeat products like foie gras, which is the greatest thing ever.

Other wacky stuff I eat:

-Pho with tripe and other goodies-Blood sausage (boudin noir, Mmmmmm)-Geoduck-Raw scallop-Whale (I had it raw, only once, in Kobe. YUM)-Beef and Venison tartare-tongue sandwiches (with Wylie Dufresne style fried mayo!)-Yellowtail collar (or salmon cheek, or any other fish-head dish. It's by far the most flavorful part of the animal, aside from maybe the belly).

I've never had Menudo, but now I'm going to seek it out. It sounds right up my alley.

Honestly, stuff like tripe and offal isn't commonly served in the US but people don't know what they're missing. These bits are genuinely the most flavorful and are well worth seeking out. These aren't considered "strange foods" in most parts of the world.

Great thread looney!

Sushi and Kemchi!

But Neither look gross to me..

Post by **drksolest** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:45 am

Pho with tripe and other goodies

Pho isn't even half as good without the tripe...

Post by **l0nestar** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 11:46 am

I thought I was strange because I love Bagna Caôda.

Other 'oddities' include eating rattle snake.

HashiriyaS14,Leeches? As in, small annelids used for bloodletting? (From the Green Tea Panchetta with Thai Basil Sorbet. ) Weird man.. weird.

Where did I say something about leeches? I've certainly never eaten a leech before.

Are you sure it didn't say "lychee" or something? Where did your read about eating leeches?

EDIT: The new little mexican place near me has a cow tongue taco, I really want to try it. I bet it's delicious.

Post by **l0nestar** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:31 pm

Cow tongue is awesome, I have to have it without taste-buds though..

but to answer your question

No, you're not an idiot. That particular article was written by Ray (frapjap), which is why the comment didn't ring a bell with me, because I didn't write it.

I actually have no idea if he's talking about leeches or not. I'm really curious now, actually. Ask him for me.

EDIT: Nice to know people actually read the blog. I'm starting a new one shortly that won't just be limited to food, but will sort of encompass all the stuff I'm into. Gastrotacular will remain as a sub-section of that blog/website with several contributing writers, Ray amongst them.

I have a container full of pigs feet in my fridge that my girlfriend eats.

Ive eaten a cow tongue taco before. Was chewy. When i was younger we always ate chicken gizzards on Puerto Rico style rice.

Post by **numbnuts240** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 5:43 am

mashed spam mixed with pineapple preserves and cream cheese, by far, the absolute best topping for a ritz cracker . now that i mention it, i think i'll make some tonight.

Post by **drksolest** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 7:59 am

that sounds awesome!!! totally wanna try it.

Post by **numbnuts240** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 8:31 am

do it, you won't regret it one bit. unless of course you are worried about fattening foods, then you might want to pass. i'm not sure of the proper proportions of each ingredient, definitely need to taste test to your likings as you go along.

Post by **andrewsmc** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 8:50 am

I will eat anything. I really like calamari and eel sushi. I kinda make a weird drink thing too just because i like REALLY sour stuff. I take lemors or limes and squeeze them into sonic ice and then stir in the salt and i kinda just suck on the ice.. Yea its good

Post by **drksolest** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:15 am

I'm sure it won't be hard to figure out... it does sound awesome though!

andrewsmc: Love eel! NOW THAT'S FATTENING! I have that for lunch about every two weeks... (not the sushi though... i don't like fillers, i want the goodin's)

but srsly, bbq sauce and vanilla ice cream has become an acquired taste(for me)..or chocolate chips dipped in nacho cheese.

Post by **MsRae** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 10:20 am

I personally love dill pickels and milk. Or peanut butter soup - although it has been a very long time since I have had any, I lost the recipie somewhere along the line.

Since so many of you have tried so many different things, how about rocky mountain oysters?

Heard of it, haven't tried it yet... I'll try anything once but that one doesn't sound like something i'll crave for...

ever!

I've started making Kimchi Fried Rice.

Get some day-old refrigerated cooked rice, nuke it for 2 mins, fry some garlic, butter, and oil (just a tiny bit), throw in your meat (I like Spam, hawaiian style), let it brown, add rice, S&P, shoyu, and then throw in Kim Chi and the juice from the Kim Chi jar.

Then fry an egg and put it on top of the rice, runny yolk. SO GOOD.
