I am also from a large Mexican family and I live in south Texas where you can get some pretty authentic Mexican food and let me agree with you that we eat some pretty strange food. None of the above seems strange to me though so I would have to say strangest out of comfort zone treats that I've enjoyed is Kopi Luwak (Coffee made from coffee berries that have been passed through the digestive system of a Indonesian cat like creature..yes pooped out). And the WORST Thing I've ever eaten so far is called Scrapple (a congealed loaf of meat scraps of all different kind of mammals) it's usually spread on toast or made into awful sandwich.. talking about it just made me gag a little. |
Ok, you and SM have gotten me convinced on the chiladas. I'll try it, but I don't want to try the Bud version. I love tripe (mexican style) but I still haven't had it in tacos
There's a chinese dish which is pig small intestine in black bean sauce, it's really good, except not many places cut the pieces thin, they leave it in little hoses.
There is the Taiwanese style, they call it "chitterling" they do slice it really thin, and serve it either braised or battered and deep fried with oyster sauce with ginger and cilantro, so yummy! Or in a thick soup broth with thin vermicelli type noodle, one of my faves growing up.
I've heard of kopu luwak, I just watched the Bucket List again. You're lucky to have been able to try it. I wanna try it and i don't really even like coffee.
Scrapple sounds like a poor man's pate, maybe even liverwurst? I'd try it. Doesn't sound gross to me. I like headcheese remember?
Ok, who likes beef tendon? and I'm not talking bully sticks! My favorite mexican place has birria with big pieces of tendon in it. I've tried it at other places, and they don't really have any tendon in it.
