You beat me to this! I read the entire thread and didnt see 'chicken feet' or 'jelly fish' til you!

I LOVE it!! So yummy. It's hard to find a chinese restaurant that serves it--usually "Dim SUm" places. I tried it once in NYC's Chinatown and boy am I hooked!

It was so slimy at first but so tasty! Hubby and I are really big on sushi and Japanese food. They have this appetizer called "Baby Taco" which is baby octopus (cooked), served chilled and marinated in the best sauce! Delish!

Raw oysters..

Pork grinds are pretty yummy too.

oh, and I love anything pickled.

That century egg sounds pretty gross...maybe the "eee-ww-ist".

You must not have seen the Balut. That one has a chicken embryo in it. Go check out the images that Potter posted. You will change your opinion. I am certain of it!

It's Escargot for me or calamari! Seems to make people a little uneasy!

I like pork rinds too. But jelly-fish???!!! How in the world would you even prepare that? I have seen lots of them as I grew up on the beach...got into a whole bunch of baby ones once (sting, sting, sting, ouch!!)...but never have considered them as food. Could you expound on that a bit?

Have you ever had pickled eggs? Just curious. They are a biggie in the south. Or...they used to be years ago. I haven't been there in a loooong time.

I tried Escargot once. Hated it. I also refuse to eat Calamari, although my housband loves it. How about Abalone? Do you eat that?

[quote=sammiz;2036728][QUOTE=tigerelsker;2036724]My grandfather like scrapple, I have no idea whats in it.

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Now if this doesn't make someone go 'eeee-ew' then nothing will.

Is that along the lines of hog head cheese?

Well, it's not jellyfish.... but when I was pregnant with my second daughter, I had this insatiable desire for quite a strange combination....

Red radish and green olive sandwiches.... YUM!!! I craved them through three pregnancies to follow and still throw one together every now n' then!!

White bread... lots of butter.... alternating layers of red radish slices, salt and green olive (with pimento) halves..... nummy nummmm!!! LOL

OK I know what you mean when you say crayfish and fat back,but it still looks funny to me. I'm used to seeing it crawfish ( no, I don't suck the head) and cracklin! Those are some of my favorites.

raw oysters, mussels, fish................. I've tried trout and sardines.......

But....he thought I was talking about something called Balut that is a delicacy of the Philippines. I had to research this and I will tell you that it is far beyond anything that I would consider edible that my mind just won't wrap around it.

Yep, I'd want a bottle of Jack too! But BEFORE
