Things that make you go eewww.

Some of you remind me of some of my kids' spoiled little girl friends. You gotta try new stuff! My ex occasionally brings me scrapple from the amish grocery at losantville. Sometimes I love it, sometimes not so much.

Well, with cottage cheese, I like the stuff I get from Aldi because it's "dryer" than the stuff from Kroger. I like it with pineapple or peaches too.

I love broccoli, and brussels sprouts now too, although I hated them as a kid. I like tomatoes (locally grown, not hothouse) on a BLT, but can't stand them plain, although my mom used to tell me that I would go out into the garden and eat them off the vine when I was a kid. Like I said, it's weird how our tastes change.

My father was that way, take some salt and pepper out to the garden and pick a few tomatoes I was more like now a kohlrabi, then I’m down.

Most times I would agree. But scrapple, souse, head cheese?

I'm not sure, but I think Dad may have raised kohlrabi, but I don't remember ever eating it.

Had to look it up, but it's a turnip. I used to like turnips, but haven't had one in probably 25 years.

My buddies mom and dad always had them in their garden. I assumed I was getting a joke played on me the first time he suggested we go try one, but I remember they were really good, I think I might try planting a few just to pull up and munch on.

Hear hear.
Growing up very poor, I ate whatever Mom cooked and put on the table. “Eww” and “I don’t like that” was never an option — really lowered my threashold for “edible”.

Most of the things above just make me chuckle — headcheese, liverwurst, scrapple, brains, organ meat, frog legs, liver and onions, it’s all good! Some of those were rare special “holiday foods” at my grandparents house.

Chitterlings are probably the only food I ever didn’t have the stomach (or, more precisely, the nose) to try.

Scrapple can be made with a minimum of organs or hole hog scrapple.
I bring rappa brand home with me when I visit DelMarVa to see family.
Im not big on loads of organs myself. To much iron taste.

I loved the smell of liver and onions when Mom was cooking it. Hated eating it. Still like frog legs though. And if liverwurst is the same as braunschwieger (sp?), then I still like that.

I actually talked Mom into cooking heart one time. IIRC (it's been a LONG time ago) it was basically like super lean beef.

Many times as a kid my brothers and I walked in the house and did a 180 and went across the field to our great aunts house for dinner.
She accommodated use. lol
I can still smell that stink. None of us eat organs, except sausage casings.

How did she cook it?
I tried it myself once, and totally bunged it up - the meat turned out tougher than shoe leather.

You gotta use the pressure cooker on that. My old man made it a couple times, I never had the guts to try it. He also made tongue, that stuff is delicious! The texture will throw you off a little

We ate loads of pork and beef tongue growing up. My dad would take a fillet knife and slice the bumps off. Much better mouth feel without the sandpaper.

You know, I'm learning a LOT more about you guys.


And I'm not sure what I feel about it.

I don't remember for sure, but I'm guessing she just pan fried it.

Who's had eaten cow tongue?


(Figured since this is INGO, I'd better be specific)

 

[Flingarrows]

I hate liver (but not Braunschweiger), rhubarb, and the taste of peptol bismal

Smoked and sliced thin, with “fancy” mustard, on proper rye bread - omg yum!
