I can't believe I ate that!

Am I the only one who likes scooping the partially cooked "meat drippings" out of the skillet

while cooking. It is just partially congealed blood. Yum.

 
Things, so far, that I know I have problems eating...

Blood (Black) pudding/sausage. I've tried, really. I know it's supposed to be good for me. I cannot stand the metallic (to me) taste of blood. Dracula I'm not.

Spannferkl/Roast whole baby pig. The problem with this, is it's actually quite tasty, but having raised baby pigs on a farm as a teenager, and played with them like puppies, I just cannot do this one.

Chicken/Duck Feet (claws and flaps): What is the point?

Tripe: Another one I've tried many times. Mexican Menudo, French tripe accordions stuffed into casings and called saucisse, that unfold out of the casing when you cut into them to fill your plate and needing to eat it because one is hungry, a poor student, and getting on a train for 12 hours with no food.

Catfish: Blech, blech, retch. I want to hurl even thinking about the taste of it.

So, I am a quite easy person to feed when I'm invited to dinner. I eat/try anything except the above.

 
I've never tried any of the blood sausages but, like you, can't do tripe.

Don't care if it's in menudo or what. I do like catfish though.

 
And French "Andouillette;" Pork Tripe Sausage. I think this is what Richard describes so well below

Love it! Grilled with mustard. I once ordered it at a touristy pizza place and the waitress told Jacques and his friends that they should talk me out of it because Americans always send it back. They assured her I was a seasoned connoisseur of scary French food.

 
Ha, so true. But, my mom and her brother grew up in Russia and he refuses to even have the chicken

backs prepared or left on the pieces or on the plate. He doesn't want to remember having to pick over the backs and necks etc. My Mom on the other hand loved to pick at the bones.

 
Yup, every christmas here too - with a red apple in the mouth and parsley sticking

out of the ears. The pigs, that is smileys/wink.gif

 
I thought I was the only one who hates catfish, and I don't care if it was handfed a delicious mix

of vegetables. I still think it tastes like mud.
