Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

PICKLED SNAKE HEADS
Question Of The Week, 4-6-14
No I did not eat pickled snake heads, but I remember liking Elmer's glue.
Elmer's glue is actually made of the same base that milk is made of...sodium casienate, however i am likely to eat the most unfamiliar thing on a table, just to try it. Having said that - I think the pickled jelly fish were the strangest thing (and the were good). I have eaten roasted rattlesnake
Now, as an adult, I think back when my grandmother served blood sausage and brain and I think that was a little strange, although as a child I thought it was normal.
Cow's tongue, haggis, gizzards, pickled eggs... There must be more. I spend time with adventurous eaters, although I don't seek weird things out myself.
When I lived across town n worked on an Italian guy's outboard motors years ago, sometimes I ate his Italian cooking for lunch. I remember being surprised with finding squid in the spaghetti with sauce, n once cloudy fish eyes in soup. Yuck- Still grosses me out-
Also eel, which I caught n my aunt cooked which was good.
I guess I am way too finicky.

ReplyDeleteHot dog pizza...please don't ask.
ReplyDeleteGrilled rattlesnake...yep, tastes like chicken.
ReplyDeleteI simply love ramen noodles with hot sauce and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the side to bite into as I eat the ramen. Simply YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteHaggis! (Never again.) :)
ReplyDeleteBite-sized pieces of live baby squid and in my defense I did have a bit too much Saki.

ReplyDeleteA rum and yaks milk.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we got Elmer's glue but we certainly ate Perkin's Paste.
Cow tongue!
ReplyDeleteProbably something by mistake...something I didn't know I was eating! ;)
ReplyDeleteBrains, ugh and I am not an ounce bright for it...
ReplyDeleteCalamari.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have called him strange, just a bit different.
ReplyDelete:P

I have told everyone before that I love Peanut Butter and Mustard sandwiches but many find that strange. I also love PNB and cold kosher dill pickles.
ReplyDeleteI've eaten gator and snake... which is the strangest?
