blood soup

[argh!]

I meant to say the Chinese will fry/roast/boil/swallow just about ANYTHING as a "delicacy.."

Hence the impetus of the Chinese delicacy talk; fu*kin' rabbit's head..

well, if you had a few thousand years of practice, you probably could make the animal body tissues we usually discard into tasty treats, too.

nobody eats baby mice. they might eat baby birds, though.

Yes. Blood sausage and blood pudding from my grand parents. They were from Ireland and Scotland. Haggis as well......

I think that all originated in the Braveheart days, when blood was plentiful. Land of my ancestors or not, no haggis is ever making it into this pie hole again. Not enough Lagavulin in that whole country to kill the taste of haggis. I'll get a cart or carry my own bag. Ya Bas...*

* not meant to be confused with Ya Bo's.

So my dad's parents were old school German, anybody else have horror stories about pickled pigs feet, head cheese, blood sausage, fried calf brains, etc.. from their youth?

It was like Fear Factor every meal there.

Oh, I love pickled pig's feet! Really! When I was in Jr. High, met my dad at dining table late one evening & he, being German, was eating pig's feet. I tried it. Loved it! Buy it every so often if stocked in supermarkets. Best to eat it refrigerated when the liquid is jellied. Easier to scrape off w/ fork.

I'll take the jelly on spam over pigs feet any day! Course what do I know? In addition to my Dad and his liking of soggy crackers my grandfather did not like syrup so he put either ketchup or Heinz 57 on his pncakes and waffles!
