Tell Us about Disgusting Food You Love
I'll start:

1. Head cheese, properly made from meat from the head of a pig. Chunks of various parts are in gelatin from long cooking.
2. Tacos de lingua. Most often available at roadside taco trucks, these contain tongue as the meat ingredient. Yum!
3. Tacos de cabeza. Again, from roadside taco trucks, these contain cheek meat and other titbits from the long-cooked beef head.

Now, add your own local, regional, or ethnic food that you love but that disgusts others.

2. That's good, for sure.
I also like octopus. "Pulpos" in Spanish. They make good tacos, too, but you won't find them except at some coastal restaurants in Mexico.

51. woot! Calamari!
Just a few weeks back, my bro-in-law and I grabbed some Calamari & beers on the way home from cross country skiing. He was kind-of grossed out by the intact multi-tentacled pieces (but ate the more nondescript pieces), which worked out well for me since I LURVE such multi-tentacly-deep-fried goodness.

I once had a grilled calamari in 1999 from a restaurant that now no longer exists.

I have been searching in vain for it ever since....

It seems like a pretty mainstream food to me. I mean, you can get decent calamari at a pizzeria around here.

(Had pickled eggs at a "British Night" party in Cambridge, England - to this day I'm convinced the entire shindig was an attempt to make all us American kids eat nasty (IMO, anyway) British food.) ;)

22. Rinderwurst
When it's properly made it's from the head of a cow. Because of this it was not unusual at all as a kid to come downstairs in the morning to see a number of cow heads on the kitchen table waiting to be trimmed of their meat.
Sardines are something else I love that can be disgusting to some.
Chicken giblets; heart, liver and gizzards are yummy! But the gizzards have got to be tenderized. I pressure-cook mine before coating and frying.

58. Canned Corned Beef Hash, spread in a pie plate, with eggs on top of it.
You bake the hash a bit then break the eggs onto the hash and put it back in the oven and bake until the eggs set.

For some reason, my mom always served spinach with this. Somehow it all went together very well, even if it was canned spinach, which I now would not touch if you paid me.

I guess I've gotten used to fresh vegetables since I've learned how to cook them. Generally steam them in the microwave. I've read that the nutrients are much the same, fresh, frozen or canned, but I'm not a big fan of mushy... :rofl: :hi:

104. It was still seasonal when I used to cook for my Dad, either that or very expensive.
Frozen was safer because I knew it would keep. And you can't possibly remember that long ago! Even my grandmother used to talk about "the iceman" who would come with a big block of ice for the freezer. He'd give chips of ice to the kids. Also, a family joke was that said iceman was was my Dad's real father, LOL, kind of like the later milkman reference, another trade that no longer exists. My Dad had very dark hair while his siblings were blond. But he got the Irish looks from his Dad, while the others favored my Dutch grandmother... :D

Edited on Fri Jan-09-09 04:48 AM by The Magistrate
But those functioned more as coolers, rather than freezers. The adults were solidly from that period, however, and had had rural upbringing. Frozen to them was still 'new', while cans were familiar, and canning was something they had done themselves with produce in childhood and adolescence.

Me, too, but I enjoyed all the stories and like hearing yours. And my elders were all rural, too. My grandmother learned how to shoot by picking cans off a fence and her mother used to race to neighbors in trouble on horseback... :-)

However, I do remember when I saw my first microwave. I went to a demonstration with my mother in which a lady put a box of frozen broccoli into the microwave oven and in a few seconds it was thoroughly cooked! We were all aghast!:wow::rofl:

67. that is true, but beef liver, from a cow of a certain age is darker than calves'
which is darker than veal. The veal will have the least impurities that the liver naturally collects, too. I have not had veal liver often but I did love it. I never cook it now because my husband is deathly allergic to it so I just try to eat it when I am in a restaurant that prepares it well.

Best liver I ever ate was in Paris, France, though

37. I found this to be not exactly true.
To me Durian tasted like a pureed onion, with a bunch of sugar dumped into it. While not bad exactly, and certainly an improvement over the smell, I just really don't see how it can be said to taste great.

And I love onions. And sugar.

123. Don't get the onion--- I would say something like a buttery, creamy combination of mango and
something tangy like say pineapple...

Could it be that you had unripe durian?


Anyway ripe durian smells like 2-3 day old corpse before it's opened up... once it's served, it's heavenly, esp. with warm coconut milk and sticky rice

36. Liver Pudding
It's livers, usually hog or calves', and corn meal. The corn meal really cuts the peculiar taste of liver. It forms a kind of paste. It is a form of poor man's pate. But it is really really good and the only way I will eat liver.

40. I've always wanted to make this: Kitty Litter Cake
Those are partially melted Tootsie Rolls, BTW. The one draped over the rim is a nice touch.



* * *

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http://www.best-chocolate-recipes.com/halloween-cakes.html&usg=__CJEqwf4nwfv9bTcMWi_Kga9192c=&h=364&w=500&sz=74&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=HDLrT1V5f2HcZM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkitty%2Blitter%2Bcake%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

"So here's how you make one.

First, you need a kitty litter pan, a plastic liner and a pooper scooper. Most recipes tell you to use a new pan and scoop that's never been used before (for the purpose that it is intended). I am not going to tell you that because frankly, if you're interested in using a dirty kitty litter pan for food you're going to eat, you're a better woman than I am. So go for it -- but don't blame me when you get some horrible disease that's transmitted in cat droppings. Nuff said.

Ingredients

1 German chocolate cake mix

1 white cake mix

1 or 2 large packages of vanilla instant pudding mix, prepared. Some people think two pudding packages are too many. It's a matter of preference.

1 large package of vanilla sandwich cookies

green food coloring, optional

12 small Tootsie Rolls.

Trivia: I bet you didn't know that Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America.
Method

Bake the two cake mixes according to package directions. Cool. Prepare the pudding mix or mixes. Crumble up the sandwich cookies. Its easier with a good food processor like the KitchenAid? 12-Cup Food Processor. take 1/4 cup of the crumbled cookies and add the green food coloring. Mix the coloring in well. This represents the green chlorophyl that you find in some litter Omit this step if desired.

Crumble the cooled cakes into a large bowl. Add half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Mix in the pudding, adding just enough to moisten. You don't want it to be soo soggy.

Place this mixture in the lined litter pan.

Soften 6 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave. It's best to do three at a time. Just soften them enough that they are pliable. Gently shape these tootsie rolls to resemble.... well, use your imagination or refer to the picture. Place these rolls in the cake mixture.

Sprinkle some but not all of the remaining white cookie crumbs over top of it all. Then sprinkle green cookie crumbs on top of the white ones.

Soften another 3 Tootsie rolls until they are almost melted. Scrape the almost melted chocolate on top of the cake. Sprinkle with more crumbs.

Soften the last three rolls until almost melted. Scrape two over the top of the cake mixture, and drop the third so it hangs over the side of the pan, Sprinkle with some more crumbs.

Now if you want to be truly disgusting -- and why not? After all, if you've gone this far, why stop now?

For the final presentation, place your litter pan on a newspaper. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs around on the newspaper. Put the scoop in the pan and use it to serve these gross Halloween cakes."

106. Can you still get brains?
I used to enjoy pork brains, scrambled together with a half and half mixture of eggs. Yummy! Squirrel brains are good too. You just cook the head and break it open to enjoy.

I've bought them in a can at the grocery store, and also at the meat counter where you find tongue and lights (lungs) but that was many years ago. I guess due to mad cow disease (and apparently mad whatever disease) I can't buy brains anymore. Even when I go to a slaughterhouse to get a whole pig for a pig roast, they say they can sell the head but are not permitted to open the skull.

So where ya getting your sheep brains? Hack open the head yourself?

110. Not sheep; lamb! But the only time I ever had them was in France, so there ya go. I used to make
calves' brains for myself, but yeah, mad-cow put the kibosh on THAT (I hope in time!).

Farmers here have told me it isn't worth theor effort to offer lambs' brains (cervelles d'agneau!).

Was it labeled 'pre-cooked'?

'Pre-cooked' usually means it's had its pre-boiling phase, which it needs. But when I make tripe for my family, I get it from the butcher and it has not been pre-cooked.

You just rub it with kosher salt, really well, to kind of clean it, and then you drop it into a big pot of boiling water...use a glass or enamel pot or the tripe will turn color....it's won't be bad, it will just look gray. Some people boil it with baking soda to get it to keep its milky white color, or use milk instead of water. It will smell.


Boil for 20 minutes, then rinse it really, really well.....use your fingers and get all the salt off...

Now you tripe is ready to be sliced and used in stew, sauteed, etc. You can fry up some onions and mushrooms and then add the sliced tripe at the end....add some spices, a little white wine.....

117. It's labeled in Spanish

...since it is at the Mexican grocery, but I think it's fresh out of the cow.

Thanks for the tip. I tried just frying some up as-is, and it wasn't quite right. I don't mind it being grey, as in pepper pot soup.

I'll try some this weekend, unless I get enough tripe from DU.

boiling, or otherwise rinsing to remove the offending residue/smell/flavor...

I never ate liver, ever, until my aunt showed me how to soak it overnight in milk, then cook it. WHAT a difference.

He was also a fan of peanut butter & cheese. I guess the "peanut butter + non-traditional other food" runs in our family - my grandfather apparently loved peanut butter and tomato sandwiches. :shrug:

(In an unrelated incident, my brother once tried to make a lettuce and mayo sandwich, since we were out of meat, cheese, and just about everything else. Turns out we were out of lettuce, too - he realized as soon as he took the first bite that he had actually made a cabbage sandwich! Gross for him, hilarious for me watching.) :rofl:

78. Do frozen peas count?
:shrug: I mean straight-out-of-the-bag-frozen, not cooked or anything. I also like raw green beans, which seems to disgust a lot of people, and raw green bell peppers...I put some of those on my salad once when I was eating lunch with a Cuban friend, and she looked at me like I was murdering babies or something.

When I was a kid I used to love prunes...not so much anymore, though. And when I was on the crew team, a bunch of us used to eat cake frosting straight out of the can - we were burning enough calories rowing that it didn't really affect us, but looking back it was pretty disgusting.

Also, I have to say this - I really, really liked Coke Blak, and I was sad when they discontinued it. :(

I'm sure I could think of several other foods, etc., but it's late and I'm tired, so that'll be all for now. :hi:

I don't think I could eat a pig or beef head, a tongue, or a cheek. Nor a bug; I don't care how it's prepared or how much chocolate you can put on it.

Kinda makes me want to puke. Although, everything is relative, I suppose. I recall a foreign exchange student in my college days joking about, "50 ways to wok your dog." We didn't think it was funny.

120. Another pickled eggs fan here!
The longer they've been in that big jar at the truckstop or redneck bar, the better! It's like the American version of the "century egg" (which I had in Thailand and also really liked, but it doesn't have the same kick)

I also like those sausages full of red food coloring and vinegar.

I am multicultural in my grossness: I also love gefilte fish, haggis, and escargot. Also, there's this incredible dish that I had once in Brazil and haven't been able to find since, which is a kind of beef stew with the main bulk of the broth made up of blood.

135. blood pudding/black pudding fried in bacon grease served
