What's the worst thing a date's gotten you to eat?
 
Guess I'm on a food fixation tonight...

Last summer I was dating a Vietnamese gal. She and I and a few friends went and ate at a Chinese restaurant.

Before the lunch was over, I had eaten both a boiled chicken foot and a boiled duck foot. :pukeface: You stick them in your mouth and then spit out the bones. It was all I could do to prevent myself from vomiting on the table in front of us! No offense to those that eat this kind of food on a regular basis, just not something I'm used to eating myself. But I saw it as a challenge and met the task.

Or I'm just a dork. :P

PS My current gal's Italian, so I think I'm safe....

you talkin food?

It's definitely not date food but I am of Chinese decent and I hate chicken feet. There isn't much grosser than watching a bowl of chicken feet spin around on a lazy susan. Except for a bowl of jiggly cow tripe :eek:

I just stick to the lobster, crab and shrimp :D

Damn glad to read your post!

But we Italians eat cow stomach. :pukeface:

Never tried the cow stomach....it looks too much like a shoe insole :) I also try to stay away from the turtles, snakes, and the screaming salamanders (as was described to me) :eek:

Had an ex-girlfriend who was intelligent and attractive, but she cooked like Ellie Mae Clampett on the "Beverly Hillbillies"...didn't matter what. She made a steak for me once...I think Birkenstock bought the patent later...

What about bitter melon soup, did anyone try to force that stuff down your throat when you were a kid? How about that stuff you had to drink when you were sick?

While it might be a delicacy-

I just don't like parts. I'm boring- leave the brains, tongue, hoof etc to someone else. Strange texture.. can still remember watching someone carve off pieces of a boiled cow tongue for dinner. The mealie texture...not for me.

My chinese friends when I asked them about the chicken feet-they claim it's just the familar sauce that they like.

When I'm in doubt if far parts of the world. I can claim veggie status or ask for chicken soup=0) Just tell them your stomach doesn't feel well avoiding their offers for pills.

Many years ago my then new girlfriend made me a sumptuous breakfast of English muffins, scrambled eggs and ham with a hint of Lysol. We both got sick and spent the day in bed. Dang the bad luck!

Also as an aside i'm not sure but pretty sure that anyone who has ever had a hot dog has probably eaten stomach tissue, likely bowels, too. Mmmmmmm

Had crispy fried chicken feet in South America. Not too bad, actually. I don't care for most of the animal innards by themselves, but if they're in an intimate relationship with strongly flavored and spiced food, I do okay with them. For example, haggis would be a hell of a lot better if it had some flavor. Spices, Scottish people, do it for the rest of us.

I have the most problems with bland flavors combined with extraordinary textures. Hog parts tend to be greasy and musty smelling so I don't much enjoy hog parts unless their smoked or boiled somehow in preparation with the grease skimmed off. It's why I don't much care for sushi or sushimi unless liberally doped with that green paste and with ginger. Heck, just give me the ginger and the green paste and keep the other stuff for bait.

It took a while for me to appreciate boiled crayfish. Now I can down them by the dozens. Again, not a pleasing flavor on their own but when liberally spiced and chased with tankards of cold beer, man dats good, yeah.

Enough Turbo dog and you'll love the'm crayfish!

What is it about Abita's brewing process. I always have a headach the next morning after a beer-even if it's only one beer!

It's the recycled water and cigarette butts they use to make Turbodog.
