Weird Foods you Enjoy

You talking cornbread & clabber?

No. Fresh, cold, delicious milk, poured over crushed cornbread. No clabber - that sounds nasty! LOL

My dad loved cornbread and clabber.

Chicken soup and Tabasco. Eggs and Tabasco. French Fries and Tabasco. Beans and Tabasco. Cheeseburger and Tabasco, Gumbo and Tabasco. Pizza and Tabasco. We kinda like Tabasco around these parts.

After filleting 'female specks' we'd take the sacs of roe, batter it and then fry it up with the fillets...mighty good eatin...

I like some things others see as normal yet other folks detest or see as weird: Snails escargot; turtle soup; raw oysters & clams; raw fish & other seafood as prepared in a dish like cerviche; pickled herring; creamed herring; caviar (used to get some great caviar years ago but it's too rich for me now price-wise); a seafood combination in various cooked forms to include many things except for fish like baby octopus, scallops, shrimp, clams, oysters, lobster, crab and such - they combine to make a great chowder or are great stewed in a truly good bier or in wine or excellent sauteed in butter in the pan; smoked eel, smoked carp, smoked whiting; rattlesnake; bird livers (such as turkey, chicken, duck or goose liver); Ochsenmaulsalat (ox or beef tongue salad); fried kassler liverwurst with eggs & toast, goose liverwurst; pickled pigs' feet; beef tongue; black pudding and or white pudding (neither is sweet goop and they ain't American but they are great with bangars & mash and a few eggs); quail eggs; scrapple; hamburgers made with bread cubes or crumbs & egg plus salt & pepper (the way my great-grandfater made them as he learned in Germany and then as he cooked them as the chef on merchant vessels for many years); and the list goes on and on. A sardine sandwich (canned sardines - two layers - preferably from Norway in sild sardine oil or acceptable in olive oil), with sliced raw onion, mustard and a good dollop of prepared horseradish (horseradish, vinegar & salt) on whatever heavy bread (preferably black bread or Lithuanian bread or a good corn rye) that I can find is a delight that I like to enjoy with a hefe weizen bier like an HB.

When I make something like beef stew, I prefer veggies in it other than the ordinary so instead of celery, carrots, potatoes and such I use white turnips, parsnips (2x the flavor of carrots), leeks (instead of or along with onions), mushrooms and I use either chuck or rib eye as the stew meat, the fattier the better (within reason). I usually use a good German bier or an ale for the liquid in the stew pot.

One of the few things I miss from when I lived in NY is the food; the availability and variety of food, not only in restaurants but in supermarkets & even in small shops there (NYC and surrounding areas), it was taken for granted when there but now I realize was truly amazing. I have not found anything like it in the four years since I left there. I sorely miss German pork stores (butcher shops), German restaurants, German bakeries, Jewish bakeries, pastry/coffee shops, coffee shops that sell a wide variety of whole bean & ground coffees, Irish pubs with Irish fare, Chinese food from any one of the three Chinatown neighborhoods in NYC, Cuban food, Italian food and NY style pizza, Indian food (as in cuisine of India), pub food, street food vendors, souvlaki and kebabs and there are more. Damn I am getting hungry but just thinking of NY politics makes me want to puke.

Dinuguan (Tagalogpronunciation: [dɪnʊɰʊˈʔan]) is a Filipino savory stew usually of pork offal (typically lungs, kidneys, intestines, ears, heart and snout) and/or meat simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili(most often siling haba), and vinegar.[1]. Stolen from Wikipedia. There’s a lot of good food from the Ilocos Norte area of Luzon.

Yes sir. That’s the one.

The northern part has got some share of weird foods. But the one I had was on the deep southern part towards the back door to Indonesia. Crazy enough, but that area is run by pork hatin’ muslims. Philippines being the only Christian nation in Asia.

There is a pocket of Christians in Indonesia that are all about the pork in a majority muslim country. Actually Indonesia has the highest percentage of muslims in the world.

I just got through page one and though I thought I had a contribution, nothing I regularly combine can top any of it. I'll just spectate this one.

Ah, that reminds me. When we'd go fishing when I was a kid, we'd leave in the afternoon so Dad and I could clean the fish while Mom started working on seasoned potato slices and shucking corn to go with them. We'd get the bass filleted and ready, and Mom would fry it up - and then she'd take all the fins and tails we had cut off and fry them until they were crispy and brittle like potato chips.

Absolutely delicious as a compliment to the main meal of fried bass, corn on the cob and seasoned potatoes.

 

[cycleguy2300]

I haven't done it since I was a kid, but when I'd stay with my grandparents a real treat was cornbread crumbled up in a glass with whole milk poured on. You eat it with a spoon and it's delicious. Maybe not weird, but definitely hillbilly.

Thats good stuff.

My maternal grandmother did that. I loved it.

My maternal grandmother did that. I loved it.

I never thought to get the details of how she did it just right. My attempts have been abject failures.

GZ,

Ah, what a beautiful memory to treasure forever..

 

[deemus]

Before pouring the syrup on, I cover my pancakes or waffles with peanut butter.

I prefer honey on mine.

 

[deemus]

Beef tongue sandwiches with lots of raw onion.

Good stuff.

Also, kimchi, anchovies on practically anything, and raw garlic...Yum!

Lengua tacos. Kind of the same thing.

And I’ll add calf fries. I castrated a crap ton of calves, and we always saved them.

 

[deemus]

No, but the only place I have ever found to buy it is in Michigan. I believe you can get on Amazon now. Look up Koegel’s Pickled Bologna

It’s bar food. Gallon jars of pickled eggs and chunks of ring bologna. I liked the bologna.

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

...and 'pickled pigs feet'...good stuff!

 

[cycleguy2300]

My maternal grandmother did that. I loved it.

My brother has always enjoyed the fins...

Saw on here earlier about sweetbreads (had to look it up) and beef tongue.
Both were in HEB this morning.
