Different Strokes for Different Folks - What weird food do you like?

[FarmerJamie]

Holy Cow - Yep - they sound weird, lol. But, after looking up a recipe, I think sauerkraut balls sound tasty!

Scrumptious Sauerkraut Balls Recipe | Allrecipes

What doesn't sound delicious about that? I'm thinking these could be made a little lower in carbs...maybe almond flour instead of flour and perhaps crushed pork skins for the bread crumbs. Maybe bake instead of fry. Sounds do-able.

I like this one https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/24499/sauerkraut-balls/

Dipped in thousand island dressing or a horsey sauce

Almond flour for this recipe type needs to be ground really fine, I put a little coconut flour in it.

Crushed pork rinds and nutritional yeast for the coating.

Yes just plain old green briars. Take your thumb nail and test it tell it's good and tender. Then just pinch it off . While roaming my woods I often eat them raw.
Just for the record a South American type roots ( dried and roasted) is what makes saspirrella .

Rattlesnake just was too bony for my liking. Frog legs are ok. I try everything at least once.

Chicken feet I just don't understand anymore than I understand pigs feet. It's all just mostly cartilage and such. I have tried both. I'd rather keep the chicken feet for stock. If I can ever find cow feet, I have a recipe from an old cookbook for cow's foot jelly I want to try.

I take all bones from the butcher for stock use. I have cooked marrow bones for eating, though. I have some antique marrow spoons.

I saw a recipe for marrow tacos. I'd love to try it, but haven't had that many marrow bones to make it worth while

Fruitcake? I have a real hankering for this morning with coffee

I can go with a good fruitcake! I've had conch and turtle..both were good. It's a no for me with gator, tasted fishy and not a fish eater. I only use chicken feet for stock...if I use them at all. They make good stock.

Snake -- never tried and not looking to. 😁 anyone know, are some not edible, do they taste different between types??? Only curious, still not wanting a taste test. The local buzzards were happy with the big rat snake I provided them last year!

I think to most of us in the US - those things would be considered a bit "different." LOL! But I'd try 'em all at least once. I love hearing what folks in other countries eat on a daily basis.

Earlier I mentioned the Hispanic students that used to work to help me around here. Three of the brothers were here one day very early and were outside working as soon as the sun came up. I got them lined out and went in and made breakfast for them. Mounds of bacon, tons of scrambled eggs, a couple dozen biscuits and sausage gravy.

Those teenage boys had never had gravy, lol. Even though they lived only a couple miles away from me it shows that their 'normal' foods were a lot different than our 'normal' foods. Oh - and they loved the gravy lol. They also devoured an entire chocolate cake after lunch. I miss those boys! Shame they couldn't have stayed teenagers forever.

Only thing about those hogs would be the kill for me -- the hard part, that is, unless I had a gun. Watching a survival show last night, they killed and cooked armadillo. One said he thought taste was between rabbit and chicken. . Then, they found mice. I watch these sometimes and learn points here and there about survival efforts, how and whys. Heck, you never know when your might need to know/consider even the tiniest thing. Life lessons.

Hubby had camel once over in the middle east. He said it was good, but greasy.

I'd try cuy. The suckers were domesticated as food animals so they should taste good.

Pheasant is my favorite bird. My great aunt makes a fried pheasant and gravy that is awesome.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Camel just doesn't look like it'd taste good. But, lotsa folks in this world eat it.

I've never had pheasant, but I do enjoy quail.

Life is only possible through death. This planet is a "closed system" where everything that lives has to feed on something else. As long as it is done with reverence and thankfulness, I've never understood why eating an animal is somehow worse than eating a plant. Both were alive and neither wanted to die, but they had to in order for something else to live.
