Yeah I also would rather have a tapeworm than not eat sushi/sashimi. Doesn't a tapeworm mean you can eat more food without getting fat? Or is that an urban legend? If true, that might be something I'm interested in, actually...
I swallowed a few goldfish on a dare back in the 70's. I was eating sashimi before eating sashimi was cool...
In Morocco I ate something pickled that smelled and tasted like shit-death. Eating the second one was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. My in-laws gobbled them up...
if you have ever had dim sum, then you have probably tried some interesting items. Fried chicken feet and jelly fish (not together lol). I could not take a second bite of jelly fish (it is like slimy and crunchy at the same time). Also, have you ever eaten scrapple? Some nasty stuff...
Scrapple is awesome! I have been eating it since I was born. I even kept eating it after I saw some being made haha. To each its is theere owne I guess
My dad and I used to eat Scrapple whenever we went camping. I think it took him back to his c-ration marine corps days... always gave him that crazy look in his eye. Haven't eaten it since...
Like 10-15 years ago This dude deer hunted with our fam. He swore by scrapple and wanted to help out and participate in camp/meals etc. He made scrapple for bfast (w/potatoes and onions). We all ate bfast and that was the last time he cooked bfast!!!
No shark, don't even wear their teeth....karma brah...I don;t mess with them, they don't mess with me. (I've eaten spinner - tastes like sponge with piss, and Mako - tastes like swordfish, but that was long long ago and I decided to leave them alone.) No octopus, they are super intelligent, maybe psychic, so no. No dolphin (Flipper) but I like to order the fish and won't call it mahi, I like to alarm the occasional touristo by ordering DOLPHIN kinda loud. I like sweet pussy, not the stinky kind (no biker chicks). Ox tail is cool, so is goats head soup and pigs feet. My late grandma's chicken liver was the bomb. I won't eat brain or head cheese, unless you pay me (give me $5 and a shot of Jamo. I'll eat most anything, 'cept biker bitches). Oh, I will NOT eat Brussels sprouts, even dipped in chocolate (tried it once NEVER again!)
In general I stay away from brains of any kind, and limit organ meats, especially digestive tract stuff. Some livers are ok... sweetbreads are good... any heart meat is good. I eat the heart of anything I kill... it's muscle, so I don't like to waste it.
Some of you are ok with a little tapeworm, could be harmless enough, but we're talkin' head high man!!
Scrapple from an Amish smorgasbord is the bomb. They call it panhaus and I drown it in maple syrup. Add in a couple of corn bread pancakes and that's a helluva breakfast.
I was at a pig roast in Caguas, PR back in 1990. They wanted to see if the white boy would take a bite of the pig's heart. I pretty much ate the whole damn thing. I was Ok by them after that. Plus, I drank their Puerto Rican moonshine. A couple gulps of that stuff will knock you on your ass.
