OK, enough recipe swapping
What's the most disgusting thing you've ever eaten? I think it was, in my case, pochole, which is a traditional mexican stew made of pork and corn. I had been impressing my hosts with my liking of hot chillies and ability to pronounce "quetzalcoche" and I was getting carried away. When I asked what it was, I was told you could have it two ways: like a poofy "gringo" or the traditional, real man's way. Naturally, I plumped for the latter. Apparently the difference is that the "real man's" way is with using the traditional peasant ingredients, i.e. EAR, CHEEK, LIP, UNIDENTIFIED BIT FOUND BEHIND THE FRIDGE, etc of pig. Not exactly the prime cuts, then. I had these huge, rubbery lumps of indigestible kak lolling about in my gob. Somehow I managed not to barf, but worse was to come. Exacttly 18 hours afterwards I was struck down by Montezuma's Revenge and spent the rest of the week passing rusty water. Last edited by The Gaffer : 11-22-2004 at 01:16 PM. |

Gaffer, that's often what happens when you try to be something you aren't.
One thing us Finns always complain about abroad is the lack of dark bread. We eat lots of that here! White bread is really uncommon in my apartment. England.. Oh sweet memories.. The only breakfast option they had on our hostel was the traditional, English one. Not easy being a vegetarian there!^^ The worst thing i've had? Not sure it's thins one, but i simply can't eat olives. They're disguisting!>.< And guys: fried = not good

Sad but true. Yeah, whatever happened to proper dark bread with proper taste? We used to get it when I was a kid but you never see it nowadays (really dense stuff you could anchor a boat with). You should get some shipped out of Finland so the rest of us can enjoy it. IIRC, you can get it in Germany and Holland. |

I can't remember the most disgusting thing I've eaten, but I remember something that made my husband gag - blood sausage. He can eat just about anything - he was a missionary kid raised in South America and was taught to eat what was given to you, even if it's a guinea pig roasted on a stick , because they would often eat with poor people who would really make a huge sacrifice to feed their guests. Anyway, they had blood sausage at a restaurant somewhere, and they all had trouble eating it, and I think they all got sick later on that day. They just cringe and shiver when they talk about it.

I got some blood pudding today, want some?
The most disgusting normal food I've eaten is salt licorice. It seems fairly popular in Europe, but when I eat one I feel like I have a nose bleed. Bleech. The things are growing on me now, I feel like I get a smaller nosebleed each time I try one. The grossest food I've ever eaten is cafeteria food. Somehow apparently non-sadistic people cook food so bad you'd actually have to be trying when put in a cafeteria situation. Turns out a chicken burger with condiments on a toasted bun is actually undercooked chicken on a stale bun with wilted lettuce and too much mayonnaise. When in doubt, deep-fry.

Fish that isn't fishy? I love herring. I just had the most delicious herring, it was marinated in delicious mustard. *drools*
Do you like mackerel or snapper?

Nurv,
... about that nappie? perhaps you need one? I personally love sardines in mustard or tinned fish steaks in tabasco with mustard - real mustard. Ever had 'em with grits? *smacks lips appreciatively and wishes he hadn't eaten so much leftover turkey and dressing - with jalapenos!*

My bad. Nobody fooled me, I just thought that it was based on the comment someone from the south a Sweden said, that only people in the north of Sweden eat the stuff.
So I guess we borrowed this from you guys? Inked! I do not need a nappie! You know that means diaper right?
