| My father is the greatest person I have ever met. But..... when I was a child he would eat some strange stuff. My parents celebated their 50th anniversary this past weekend, and I ate a piece of Apple Pie with a melted slice of cheese on it. It is wonderful. My father taught me that and I won't eat apple pie any other way, honeybuns are just as good, heated in a microwave with a slice of cheese on top. He also likes a cold glass of buttermilk with crumbled up cornbread in it. I still cannot do that. Not even the buttermilk alone. He loves it. My mother loves Catalina dressing on pizza. She also likes syrup on fried fish. What kind of strange things did your parents try to get you to eat? You know they did.

 I was raised with what I thought was ordinary meals....until I got in college and discovered that none of my roomates had EVER heard of these foods or they were repulsed with these foods. For the life of me, i couldn't understand why. Growing up, everyother Sat night, we dined on chittlin's (boiled and fried). On Sunday evenings, we had brains and eggs. We ate tripe with syrup along with (of course) cornbread and like the others above, ate the left over cornbread with buttermilk for the next snack. We got tongue for a quarter at the butcher shop and that was Sunday dinner--quite a spread with all the fixin's. Fishing trips were and STILL ARE packed with vienna sausages, potted meat slim jims and crackers. I still love livers and gizzards (thank God Mitch does too). Eventho I don't get chitlin's and tongue as part of regular meals, i still miss them. Currently accepting invites if you are inviting!!!!!

Wish your parents a happy anniversary for me Curtis!!! .....Wow.. that is a long time....congrat's to them.....I can only wish.....21 more years for me and my bride...if I live that long... Thank you Bill, and I will. The two of you will go way past 50, and I hope that we can catch Pomps and shoot something at least once a year even after that. Your parents didn't try to make you eat something strange?

| My Dad used to pick the round mushrooms in our yard in the Summer - he called them Puff-Balls. If you let them go they harden, and when you step on them they spew out a cloud of brown smoke. Anyway, he would pick them while they were white and soft, and boil them in a pot with a dime (to make sure they were "safe") - then slice them thin and fry them in butter. They were fantastic, but I never had the "huevos" to try it myself. My Dad was a die-hard polack, he would also eat parts of the pig that are supposed to end up in HotDogs: lips, feet, snouts, foreskin,....whatever, he ate it, usually pickeled or fried. Sure wish my Dad was still around, I'd love to share a plate of pig parts with him...

| For us, it would be pork brains and eggs. Another we had was poke and eggs. Poke weed boiled 2 or three times, drained well, then fried in lots of bacon grease with eggs scrambled in, Yum! We had cornbread and milk, both buttermilk and sweet. Squirrel dumplings were a nice treat too!. When I was a kid, I enjoyed peanut butter and bologna sandwiches, and my wife still loves peanut butter and pimento cheese on toast.

| Brains and eggs.. that just sounds wrong.. Bacon and Eggs with some fig preserves on the side now thats the ticket. Grandma always used to make the best salmon patties and I smothered them in pancake syrup. Ummmm good. My Dad is a cornbread and buttermilk kind of guy.. Havent made that leap myself just yet.

My father would rather have Squirrel than a ribeye steak..........Once when I arrived at our deer camp I proceeded to get the traditional bowl of stew always on the stove the day before opening day of the season. I commented to dad how good the stew was this year............He replied " It's Beavertail and Muskrat stew ".................I got a bologna sandwich out of the frig..........

| Livermush...for those who don't know it is a liver sausage made with pork liver, cornmeal and spices. It's shaped in a block and you slice it off and fry it crispy. Never seen it here, but it's in every grocery store in North Carolina, you start seeing it just north of Atlanta. Nothing better than a crispy livermush sandwich on soft white bread with mayo...MMMMM.

| I grew up in Northern Calif with a hippy mom,we ate all kinds of wierd stuff. she cooked swiss chard several times a week fresh from the garden, I get sick just thinking about it... I was the only kid in school who brought penut butter and lettuce sandwiches on whole wheat bread. Sometimes the other kids felt sorry for me and would give me some chips....and the only sweets we ever got were the honey seseme sticks from the health food store. Linda

| If you could hunt it and kill it, it was fair game. I have had every kind on gamebird known to man, hearts, gizzards and livers always kept and fried. Then there was the opossum, groundhog, squirrel and rabbit. Never had dog, cat(that I know of, but I do eat chinese so...), chitlins, tripe, the list goes on. Spam cut up in mac and cheese, that might be the most unhealthy thing I have ever eaten.

| Ketchup on MacCheese is good. Brussel sprouts are good with applesauce. A few things i still eat that some folks think strange: Anchovette on toast with orange juice for breakfast. Anchovette is minced anchovies in a fish paste. Not the salty preserved ones, whole little anchovies.Tastes like the red line some folks cut out of their fish as they don't like fish that tastes like fish.Aussies like it too, but then they also play rugby so may also have brain damage. RollMops. Pickled raw herring fillets eaten whole with a good beer chaser. Biltong: its air dried meat, beef or game with salt, corriander as preserving spices. Just beter than jerky. Have given it to many here and most like it. periperi chicken liver. Peri Peri is equal parts birds eye chilli powder(weapon grade strength) and paprika in olive oil. Fry up livers in that oil and eat with fresh crusy bread and beer.

| This is pretty graphic but I have always been curious if it was in fact ture. I used to have a neighbor that was retired military and he was stationed in all sorts of places around the world during his career. He told me one time about being invited to some locals get together of some sort. I believe he said this was in Turkey if I remember correctly. At this event they prepared something to eat that was pretty gory in my opinion. He said that the locals had starved a dog for some period of time. Just prior to the "get togther", they feed the dog rice. The dog gorged itself because it had been starved for so long. The dog was then thrown into a fire. The locals retrieved the dog after a period of time and proceeded to dine on rice stuffed intestines. Given the number of folks on here that have been all over the place, I figure somebody could comment as to there being any truth to this.

my parents didnt feed us anything weirder than liver or maybe some goat, but my great aunt and uncle were real country folks. they lived in a beutiful two story 150 year old home (then,40 years ago) and still used a outhouse and took their nightly bath out of a basin. they fed us all kind of stuff like pig brains and eggs, frog legs, turtle, assorted fungi etc. they always told us (we were kids) it was something else. for instance frog legs were baby chicken legs. i sure did love them in spite of what they fed me.

| Not heard of the dog intestine stuffed with rice one before, but have had corn stuffed duck done that way. Its real hard to stave a duck as they eat almost anything. But you have to be real quick as it goes through them real fast. As a kid (heck peta would LOVE this one, they probably have a special hell just for me!) we used to take advantage of that with a piece of bacon on a long string. First duck or goose would eat it and a few minutes later it would come out the other end and next one would eat it and you could land up with several ducks or geese all on one long piece of twine. The would walk nose to ass and we would crack up laughing. Told that to a few folks in Tulsa OK and they admitted to doing it as kids too way back when.
