Strange named foods.

[Laughing Cow]

Hi All.

Watched a program on TV last night where some people toured the states.

At one place they ordered "Mountain Oysters", but were kinda shocked when they were told what they were.
:D :eek: :D

Anybody else ever eaten strange named food similar to those "Oysters"??

[Braden]

"Beaver Tails" in Ottawa aren't what they sound like.

Oh are they ever good though.

Theres something you can buy at the store called "potted meat product"
it comes in a can. I've actually witnessed this in someones pantry before, too.
Ever read the ingredients to liverwurst? but it tastes good.:)

Liverwurst (Leberwurst) & Black Pudding (Blutwurst) are a stable part of my diet.

Not as good as a Beuschel (Heart & Lung stew ), haggis or scrambled Eggs, Kidneys with Pig's brain though.

Yummy.

But those ar not stangey named foods. :( :(

Devil wings - don't come from devils
Buffalo wings - buffalo don't have wings

:D

mmmm...potted meat (though I'd never touch it myself)...even more interesting depending on where you buy it. I was in South Carolina visiting my best friend's family and we saw some at the store. Some of the ingredients on the can were possum, raccoon, and squirrel...

The "happy meal" Whats so fun about getting high cholesterol and zits?

Spotted ****. That's easily the most awfully named thing ever.

I was in PA on a business trip a couple years ago. We stopped for breakfast in a little diner. On the menu was scrapple. Even the waitress couldn't tell me what is was, other than it was popular...

to this day, I have no idea what it is.

chitterlings (chittlins) weird name, weirder food.

Ma treated me to pulpo reculvado yesterday. Mmm...pulpo.

Dude, Scrapple is some fine stuff. A staple of the Polish-American diet.

Hen Milk (milk with egg yolks and sugar)...
Sweet bread...it's neither sweet nor is it bread...yet thymus really tastes cool!!

merryp = I heard a hilarious thing n bbc radio about how some people say spotted Richard because it's less embarrassing/ gross. Then this pudding purist came on demanding and proclaiming in favor of the old name. I don't know if they were just ****ing with him, but they kept asking him about his rganization. They're this pudding society. They get tgether and eat pudding and sample various puddings and try and stop people from saying Spotted Richard. Much like Wing Chun practitioners

Sounds like you don't even know what's in it:eek:

I never said it wasn't good, just that it is still a mystery

[Merryprankster]

Aslan,

Its cornmeal, pork scraps, a little sage and some salt, for the most part.

Modongo, anyone? Beef tripe and foot soup, usually with pigeon peas and potatoes. Delicious.

Actually it's a hispanic dish and word but I like the way it sounds.
