Konrad in Lincoln Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 ..there I was when I found a slice of processed cheese down the side of the bed. While I was eating it I got to wondering whether or not it'd be worth it to trim the hedges. So it was up the road, turned right last Thursday, and BAM! I ran out of gas. There was also a single slice of Terry's chocolate orange, but the dog got that after I lifted the bed. Same mutinous critter who gulped a whole stick of butter off the counter a year ago. Could be worse, he came running down the hall last month with a steak knife in his mouth. Olives cause ear hair, don't you know.. But let us consider what Chitlins are: They are hog intestines. Crimony, what a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sundstrom Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I hope that you recover from your fall down the stairs. If you have any visions of boatbuilding as a result, feel free to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt jake Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I hope that you recover from your fall down the stairs. Thank you, now this is starting to make sense. Konradical has been known to ride his motorscooter 'up' the stairs before. He probably did fall off this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Pyeatt Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 And I thought I had a glass or two, too many. of a really good bottle of wine with dinner last night. :roll: I had visions of soft white Granada beaches and sailing with a sweet young thing in the moonlight. Oh, wrong thread! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Potts Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Well it's not like they don't CLEAN the intestines first! A little lye goes a long way. And as far as tripe goes - In the form of home-made Menudo, tripe is the perfect hangover cure. Yep - I was born and raised in big cities, too.

ken connors Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Actually, its the city slickers who should be the most accepting of foods like tripe and chitlins. it was the immigrants who migrated to the cities for work who were creative enough to discover these foods because they were so poor. they ate mushrooms, snails, clams, chicken kidneys, liver, mussels, etc. whatever they could get free or cheap. there was a time when lobster was so plentiful and cheap, it was fed to prisoners to save money.

Ken_Potts Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I've got a friend/co-worker who is from NY (Long Island) and recently she was waxing reminiscent about the bounty they used to get from LI Sound - She was talking about the crab, eel, etc that they used to bring home for dinner after a day in the canoe and there were a few rural-raised (North Carolina) locals who were completely disgusted at the thought of eating eel (these folks were raised on chitlins) because it was basically a watersnake. I grossed them out further by extolling the virtues of rattlesnake. Rural or urban - one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'll have another lobster, please. No, Wait! How about some a bit of ostrich? Or a bison steak? Aww, now I'm going to bed hungry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeStevenson Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Eel is so good on sushi...But whale was one thing I wasn't too fond of. Like eating tire rubber (or what i expect tire rubber is like to eat, as I haven't tried that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Gowans Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 When I lived in New Zealand, I got to eat lots of different seafood. When I lived up by the Bay of Islands, we ate a lot of tuna for breakfast. However, it didn't look or taste anything like any tuna I had ever tasted. After a few weeks I found out that the Mario word "tuna" meant eel. The boy that live there with us would go the to local stream and bring home some fresh water eels. I rather liked the taste of it, but it surprised me that I had been eating eel and never knew it. Even though they ate a lot of things raw, I always had "tuna" cooked, so I wouldn't know what eel sushi is like. The raw sea food I didn't like was octopus. The base of the suckers are kind of hard and not very palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Phil You remind me of when I holidayed in NZ some years ago (I have Maori friends over there and I was best man for their wedding). One of the best foods I had over there was smoked fish, cold, between two slices of bread. They lived near the water in Auckland and would go down to the smokehouse at the docks and pickup 4 or 5 fish, wrapped in newspaper and bring them home to eat straight away. I'm sure it tasted better because of the fact that it was 'simple' food - you would simply grab a slice of bread, pick the fish off the bone with your fingers, put it on the bread, whack another slice over the top and voila - a meal fit for a king!

MikeStevenson Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 The eel sushi I've had has been barbecued. Uuuummmm good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Eel sushi = Unagi. Mmmm... Good stuff. It IS cooked, though. The word "Sushi" doesn't mean "raw" - I think it actually translates as something like "vinegared rice" (please correct me if you know better). The meat is incidental. Things like eel and crab are cooked although some meat on sushi is raw (tuna, for example). You people keep making me hungry. I'm off to eat some more wasabi peanuts. And hopefully Saturday evening I'll be dining on FRESH deer heart (ew, gross!) So I still don't know what this thread is about - How do I know when I get off-topic?

ken connors Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i think we're all off topic. as far as i can tell the only way i can see to get on topic is consume a large amount of rum (which, coincidentally, i am in the process of doing) and discuss the virtues or detriments of processed cheese or Terry's chocolate orange. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt jake Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 And you guys know that radical Konradical is sitting back just laughing at the direction this has gone! I still say he hit his head. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
