Discomfort food

Hate to say it but I like scrapple. Mmmm, scrapple. Of course I eat hot dogs, too. Real hot dogs, none of these beef or turkey things.

 

All lies. Any food that ticks off the Sticky, Stinky and Stringy boxes is not fit for human consumption, "ultimate health food" or no.

 

I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing, just posting a link.

 

I agree, but if you are brave enough try try it at T.J. Ribs in Baton Rouge, peanuts and all (yes, peanuts), you might find it to be the only tasty cole slaw on the planet. I was shocked to find I love it.

Oh, and slappy, we'll make a Southerner out of you yet, boy.

 

I know. That was more directed at Kazuo, Natto Nation's Director of Misinformation.

 

Natto?

Natto your life ...

 

I grew up in the Delaware Valley, and scrapple is vile.
I spent a brief, youthful stint in military school, and eating everything that was served in the mess hall was required.
I vowed never to eat scrapple or pickled beets again. And I haven't.

 

I think grits look like vomit, so I don't eat it.

Otehrwise, Southern food rules. I've got the dunlap to prove it

 

Okra's not bad sliced and fried, just pop the little pieces in your mouth.

And 'Gola (I think) Chicken fried steak done well is just about the most perfect food. Although there may be a connection between my atitiude toward it and my weight. ;D

When I was about nine or ten, at a family cookout, I was offered "Bush Fish". I liked Tuna fish, along with fish sticks, so I said "I'll try it".

Turned out to be rattlesnake. I was less than pleased when I found out.

But it did kinda taste like chicken.

 

Love deep fried dill pickles. First had them at the Loose Moose - which some may remember from last year's Toronto outing - and always get them when I'm there.

Can't think of too much food indigenous to TO that grosses me out, although guess poutine - more of a Quebec thing - would qualify. They serve it up around here too. Takes fucking years off your life.

 

Natto is no good, either.

So far we have natto and lutefisk with no defenders. Which is as it should be.

Tripe is foul smelling stuff, but really does make a decent to excellent soup.

 

I've heard these are actually really good. Can't say I'm gonna try 'em any time soon, but I hear they're good.
