I love oysters on the half shell, but they do look pretty gross.
Vinny, Lime is almost always used at home because lye is so dangerous. In México, tortilla dough (masa) is usually made with lime in tortilla factories. Again because of the dangers of lye, and also because the lye process requires a lot more washing -- water and time expenses, etc.
Strauss, that's a meat pie? That is one of the most disgusting looking foods I've ever seen! But at the same time, it looks rather yummy.
I'm with ya on the oysters rolly. I guess I can't complain about food made with lime any more, since I love my home made papusas, made with masa, of course.
I was appalled not only by cold canned spaghetti sandwiches, but also cold baked bean sandwiches, consumed by schoolkids in country West Oz.
I love roast stuffed lamb heart, fried lambs liver & devilled kidneys. The mere thought of consuming such delicacies sends friends into paroxysms of disgust! However, tripe & brains are definitely off the menu for moi.
It's pretty standard, or at least it used to be, to use up cold baked beans in a sandwich in Boston. But these would be actual baked beans from a beanpot. I don't think anyone in Boston puts canned beans in a sandwich.
I like brains. I think what puts people off is the mushy texture when they're expecting meat. But it's less mushy than scrambled eggs, and people like that. I'm with you on heart, kidney, liver, and with the negative on tripe. Tongue is good too.
Tongue no... I simply don't like the texture. Similarly with brawn. As far as I'm concerned, meat jelly should be used to make a good gravy.
One morning my husband and daughter decided to make themselves breakfast as I slept. They made themselves canned baked beans on tortillas. I thought it was bizarre but they enjoyed it.
I like chicken livers and gizards, never had sheep. I admit to being prejudiced toward brains. They just don't look or sound appealing though I've never tried them. I also used to love kishka - back when it was stuffed into sheep intestine. Since they stopped using the intestine I don't like it as much.
I also like tongue. My husband hates it. One time in Germany, when we got our orders he had accidently ordered tongue and I had accidently ordered rabbit. It wasn't so much the rabbit I didn't like but the way the prepared it. We traded dishes.
