I stayed away form the 'butchered' eat everything but the squeal stuff! However, bread pudding is one if my favorite desserts. I adore venison and the best dinner I ever had was black buck antelope.

I had a friend who was a chef and he always got so upset with me because I would smell everything new before I put it in my mouth. He was always wanting me to try this and that of his creations and when it went first to the nose for a whiff, he would shout "You do not taste with your nose!"...but my nose is the guard of my mouth and if the nose doesn't approve, the mouth won't open. He thought I was a lunatic.

Well...tell him we eat icecream with cake. That's just a 'different' kind of bread.

I love to eat cottage cheese with tomatoes and chives on it. I think it is yummy but everytime someone else sees me eating it they go "Ewww!!"

that is gross. If i visited her there would be a strict no eating mayo out of the jar rule while i was there. or else I might vomit.

i haven't even used the green ones for boiling because I have had a little trouble finding them. BUT, I do buy the unroasted, plain ones from wal mart (I think they are like 88 or 98 cents a bag) and boil those and they are just fine I'm sure the green ones are MUCH better...but these work well enough to keep me happy I find them in the produce section in a little clear and green bag

For the boiled peanuts....I am having trouble getting some green ones to boil. Californians don't do boiled peanuts. I found an on-line source of 8 pounds for about 28.00 but when I sent an inquiry via the website I received no response. I wish I still knew some peanut farmers.

Out here it is funny....many people have no idea that the peanuts are formed underground. They think they grow on peanut trees, I guess. My best friend didn't quite believe me when I told her that. She thought I was teasing.

I do that too, even if its soemthing I cooked. I try to be sneaky about it if I'm eating out, but I still do it. This embarrasses people I eat out with, but I will also look through my food before I eat it and pick anything out I don't like.

LOL. hell no! I guess when you bought whole chickens you would get everything. One heart per bird. So she would save them up and make me a 'dish' of fried hearts. I know it is really icky!

Cracklins are the skin of a pig and a layer of fat cut in small pieces and cooked. I know it sounds gross but they are really good!

Once you try the green ones, you will be hooked for life!

How long do you boil the ones you get from walmart? We tried it with some from the grocery store and cooked them forever (hours and hours) but they never 'got done' ....

They are fried, though. Not just cooked like steamed or whatever. They also put them in cornbread. They are sort of lile the Fried Pork Skins they sell at the store but not quite so crunchy and more fat left on them.

Lots of people eat them with hot sauce on 'em.

I bought some at the grocery store. I boiled them forever and they never got done either. Are there certain types you are supposed to boil?

Yes. You get the green ones...by green I mean right out of the earth and not processed in any way other than being washed off. They are still moist and not dried out. I found this one website that sells them ( peanutman ) but I can't remember when peanut season is. I don't want to buy them already boiled although the site says they sell them either way.

Okay..this is not too gross..just weird. I have been making "cookie Mush" since I was 4. You get a really huge plastic cup..fill it half way with Mothers lil' chocolate chip cookies. Pour in the milk and smash it up with a spoon until it gets mushy..then you eat it. Or drink it..My sons now do this and so do their friends..Yumm..I think I will have some now.
