You mean Baluts...... Id eat thousand year old eggs turned black because they had been stored in clay and salt for a year before I would touch a Balut.....

Actually, I was thinking *much* worse than that. Hard to imagine, but I just found a link that was quite disturbing...

The Walmart near me sells cheek and tongue, so maybe someday I'll see if I can whip something up. Also have a "custom processing" faciltity nearby and I've been thinking about seeing what they do with their beef and lamb kidneys, 'cause DH would really like it if I made a steak and kidney pie for him.

I bought Tongue was Corned like corned beef.

But have only cooked it about two times. I found it lean and tender and very flavorful.

I eat liver and cook it myself Beef liver and chicken livers but I am the only one that likes it I would love to taste Kidney cooked by someone who knows what they are doing.... Same for Lamb fries...

Family is southern background so I grew up with Pickled Pigs Feet.... I would love to learn how to make them myself The geleatin alone is good for arthritis... just like any bones and cartillage that is stewd a long time....

I am a food adventurer so I would taste anything as long as they didnt tell me what it was first. that would be including Baluts... though there are certain textures I cant get past... so I have to play it by what I can get down.

Many times, folks will consider an ethnic food gross or distasteful but usually that is because they have not tried it or been exposed to it.

I will taste it all.... first of all to not offend but secondly because I know the oddest bits often times are wonderful tasting. For instance Blood cake or Blood sausage... I have had the cake in Pho... Not a fan but I wont turn it down because I am certain there are good recipes out there for it. I would love to give blood sausage a try as long as someone could make a good recommendation on which brand to buy... Or if there was someone making it from scratch as in a party or potluck.

Now I have goats as pets but I would not turn down barbequed or stewed goat and all the bits and piecs that can be cooked from it.

There is a huge difference between nasty food and a delicacy.  

-Kathy

Not so much. A lot of 'Delicacy's' are disgusting.

Fermented duck egg for example. Or that rotten fish that is supposedly so disgusting that you aren't allowed to eat it on a plane or bus because the smell can make you throw up.

Quite right!

Remember the first time you tried coffee?

Quote: What delicacies have you actually *tried* that were disgusting? Do you think these are disgusting: frog legs, caviar, fish eyes, fish cheeks, snails, and testicles? I've tried all of them, and all of them were quite tasty.
