One food you have never had... but are curious

[BamaProud]

My wife will not touch anything with the word "squash" in it.

Speaking of the way things sound, I have always wondered why "Salmonella" sounds so delicious. Reminds me of a dainty delicate puff pastry desert. Mmmmm Salmonella.

I like pork...

The best thing about pigs is they eat roots, nuts, berries, grain, slop...pretty much anything... then turn it into BACON!

I've heard so many people rave about how good it is. I am actually prepared to be underwhelmed by it after all the build up.

Is Dorado supposed to be particularly unique tasting? I know so little about ti.

 

[Punx Clever]

I always wondered about century eggs...

One of my coworkers brought one in for me. They taste better than they smell.

Being from Canada...

Softshell blue crab

Sal Monella? Doesn't he run the Italian butcher shop down the block? Hey! Sallie!

For long time I thought it was salmon tartar.

I had a first on Thursday. Frogs legs in black bean sauce at a thai restaurant.

I wasnt expecting to like them as much as I did. I suppose you could say they taste like chicken... but like the moistest tastiest chicken youve ever had...

Great!!!!! I find them to be a pleasant medium between chicken and fish. Hmmm, swimming chickens, that sounds good. getting close to lunchtime I guess..

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Hehe. The see-through bones are interesting too...

When I was a kid, my parents would take me and my cousins (about a dozen people total) out frog hunting, armed with flashlights and gigs. We'd bring home several burlap sacks and have a big frog BBQ at my grandma's house. The webbed feet get all crispy like potato chips.

I've only had wild frogs legs, they're not bad, but tend to taste a lot like the pond water they live in. A bit of garlic & butter or seasoned salt does wonders.
FYI: I've still got a few gigs in the shed. ;Regards, GF.

[Homercidal]

The US could curb a lot of it's animal overpopulation and supply N. Korea with much-needed food. It's a win-win except for the dogs and cats, of course...

Poutine

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Dude, I havent had Poutine in Canada but I have had it in new york. And it is amazing. Simply amazing.

Petite dejeuner! Enough calories for the whole day all in a cup!!

I googled Petite Dejeuner. The pictures look like full breakfasts. Which part is Petite Dejeuner?

I was confused too. Petit Dejeuner is French for breakfast.

 

[dinnerstick]

can i mention one food that i am hugely curious about but never under any circumstances ever wish to encounter?
hákarl- the infamous icelandic rotten shark. or the related swedish fermented herring surströmming. apparently among the worst smells ever encountered by our timid species...
wikipedia can tell you more, especially the shark preparation method. err.. yum?

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Hey Creamy, just a thought here, but if you have kids, you could try breast milk. Just sayin'.
Regards, GF.

Vegemite can't find anywhere. Aussie help?

Also those of you arming yourselves with coon lights and frog gigs in the warming summer months in search for froggy beware of golf courses that use dangerous amounts of fertilizers that run off in there frog filled ponds do not consume!

Sorry, quebecois humor. Kinda like cold pizza for breakfast. A rich bowl can run up to 1000 calories. I was playing on the translation, dejeuner is lunch so literally breakfast is little lunch, kinda like breakfast of champions when you crack a beer in the morning

I wish i could help you with this one, to my mind it's over rated. That said as a South African I grew up with Marmite and prefer it to Vegemite.

Please elaborate.

Still not sure what it is, but cold pizza for breakfast is always good.

Ah gotcha, if you find it at a food cart it's usually fries, cheese curd, smothered in white gravy. It gets taken to extremes though and you can find ground meat, melted cheese, cheese curd, and super rich gravy sometimes topped with sautéed onion. You mash it all together with a fork and on a cold day it'll keep you full. I wonder if I could recreate that dairy free? Hmmm.

 

[Thunder_Chicken]

Here in Germany, they have something called Mett. It is some sort of cured ground beef but you would honestly think its raw. They serve it on bread with onions.

Igitt wie Sau!

It is pretty much just raw minced pork with pepper and garlic. It's great. The path from the pasture to the plate is much shorter in Germany than it is in the U.S. and it is completely fine if you know the butcher. I wouldn't dream of doing this in the U.S.
