sounds like a requiem for a tape worm

In a third world country a dilapidated roadside stall is the apex of critter cuisine.

If you have never eaten a warm tuna fish sandwich in an pre-owned 70's RV "bathroom" with a semi-full holding tank, consider yourself lucky. >_<

I tried some Haggis from a stall in Glasgow, it was bad. The stall was actually owned and run by a Tasmanian, which was weird.

Vegetarian Haggis is delicious, but it's just hot potatoes and onions, really.

Was it "The Worst Toilet In Scotland"? :)

But damn, do I love me some king rib. Jesus, that's nasty.

Haggis is nothing more than a glorified sausage ball involving oats, liver, and heart, and is no worse than black pudding is to Americans

blood SAUSAGE, now that shits tasty

I can't eat blood sausage. Never have, probably never will.

What's black pudding?

Isn't it something that has to do with nasty meat products?

Blood, glorious blood.

One thing I absolutely would not ever be able to eat...and this isn't even a meat product...is huitlacoche.

Mildewed corn. Nummy num num.

:lol The first time he ever paid for an infection!!

Now that I look it up, it's apparently the exact same thing as blood sausage (which I like), not at all what I thought it was... some years ago I was served something called "black pudding" at a self-styled 'Brazilian' restaurant run by first generation Italian Americans and their parents. I always took them at their word that it was black pudding, but according to a cursory search on Wikipedia it was NOT. God only knows what it was.

Which is horrifying, because the gritty lump of substance that I was served in that restaurant definitely had blood as an ingredient. It was served alongside this giant platter with a wide meat selection and sheep's brains, all of which were fucking delicious; though I'm still not sure how the restaurant qualified as "Brazilian".





And now I notice that somehow I've gotten close to the actual conversation topic.

What the fuck?

God I wish that restaurant was still open :(


They had an old guy playing a piano in the lobby back in the day. Now it's a nickle and dime sushi place







I'm fucking depressed now, man, I we gave that old guy a huge tip when we visited for my older cousin's graduation dinner, he was awesome

I'm sorry for your loss.

probably the 'independent caterers' at every school i've gone to

I got one of the lunch ladies' chin hairs in my lunch in middle school. Does that count?

i too have a mexican meat market right around the corner. you dont have to go around to the back to get a taco lol, but they do have some wild shit there. headcheese(brains), cow tongue, lips etc . all of which can be put on a taco served with cilantro which covers up any flavor.

btw why are you guys eating in the bathroom?

Probably the next stop after eating that shit. Just cutting corners.

Haggis = Scrapple made out of sheep.

It's not bad, actually.

What is a scrapple??

Haggis, made from pigs. :posh

EDIT: OK, my apologies, I'm being obstructive. Scrapple is what's left over from pigs after you've used about as much as you can from the cuts you want. The "scraps" are then fed into a grinder and puréed. Corn meal or starch is added for texture, and salt and spices to taste.

I've known about it since forever, as it's a staple of the "Pennsylvania Dutch" or Amish/Mennonite sects of Lancaster county - about 50 miles west of Philadelphia. I'm guessing they have a similar "pork by-product" in other enclaves, such as those in Iowa, Ohio and North Carolina.

Slice it thin and fry it up until it's crisp, and it's actually quite tasty.

Oh. Like chorizo, then.

BTW I love the note in your edit. :)

Yes, there is much scrapple around here.

When I was a kid, it sounded to me like something delicious made from little scraps of apple. Boy was that a nasty surprise.
