Subject: RE: BS: Things you've never had (or done) (or..) From: Rapparee Date: 23 Nov 08 - 07:23 PM Although I have eaten blood, brains, heart, liver, marrow and sausage casings, I have never, to my knowledge, eaten tripe, sweetbeards, kidneys, testicles, eyeballs (although eyeballs preserved in formaldehyde do bounce quite nicely), or spleen. I have eaten alligator, wild duck, deer, elk, bison, whale, squirrel, wild rabbit, caribou, reindeer, and various types of fish, but I haven't (as far as I know) eaten antelope (but there is some in the freezer), wildebeest, Irish elk, moose, okapi, bear, seal, lion, chimpanzee, porcupine, skunk, beaver, or eagle. |
Subject: RE: BS: Things you've never had (or done) (or..) From: Bat Goddess Date: 23 Nov 08 - 07:23 PM I've also never seen "The Sound of Music" -- nor do I have any desire to. (Nope, the couple scenes I've been unable to avoid have only inspired me to NOT see the film.) Did finally see "Mary Poppins" for the first time last year -- and LOVED it. Have read one of the Mary Poppins books and I'm trying to scare up the others. I've never climbed a mountain over 2000 feet. Never eaten sheep's eyes -- but I HAVE eaten tripe, eels (usually smoked; not jellied), moon snails, sea urchin roe, beef tongue, veal and beef heart, kidneys, liver, rattlesnake, buffalo, ants (intentionally -- covered in chocolate), pickled pig's feet, hog hocks, and probably some other odd things I can't think of right now. I go out of my way to try just about anything (foodwise) once. I've eaten WHOLE raw scallops (what people think of as "scallops" are actually just the aductor muscle) when I got them so fresh I could do that. Oh yeah, squid. I like squid a lot. Never skydived nor bungee jumped. Or climbed up a cliff. My acrophobia says no way in hell. Linn |
