National delicacies no one else would eat WAS: Back to Coffee WAS: Funny!
Madge O'Reene wrote: Beverly wrote: One of the regular events at the annual picnic is "How to torture a Twinkie". They've fried them, topped them with several different toppings and this year it was Vegemite a club member brought home with her from a recent trip. GAWD...that stuff looked like axle grease. I imagine the axle grease would taste better. Do they really eat this stuff? Beverly I always thought a Twinkie was a chocolate bar, like a Mars Bar (which, in Glasgow, is often deep fried). Anyway, delicious foods jonny foreigner won't eat: Black pudding, white pudding (only brits and Irish enjoy these) Kidneys (although them do smell before they're cooked) Tripe You can get tripe and kidneys in the US. Haggis Ah, the "Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!" It's only available as a import in the US, and even then it's a Bowdlerized version; the USDA for some reason considers sheep lungs and windpipes unfit for human consumption. All of the above are amongst the most tasty foods I've ever enjoyed. Although I don't think I could bring myself to eat thousand year eggs, many Chinese people are revolted by the notion of blue cheeses. |

That's a real shame, because I really believe it to be one of the tastiest foods on the planet. Nicer even than truffles, (real) custard, hull curd cheesecake, caviar or partridge. Next time you get the chance to try the real thing, get an oversize portion (and over exercise all the following week to compensate!) |

I don't know. When I wrote you can get tripe and kidneys, I meant from a butcher shop. Incidentally, we here in eastern Pennsylvania have something known as "scrapple"; please don't ask me to explain what's in it. Haggis Ah, the "Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple That sounds *delicious* If I ever find myself in Pennsylvania, I'll be sure to seek out some scrapple. Have you ever had English fish-and-chip-shop type chips (potatoe fries)? Thick cut, deep fried in animal fat and then covered in salt and vinegar (or non-brewed condiment for real authenticity!) Can't really say I've ever enjoyed what I think of as french fries (thin cut potato fried in vegetable oil). Tastes like cardboard dipped in bus fuel. |
