Hi Baduzim,

I've never bought morels so I'm not sure what they cost. I pick those and the leeks in the woods when they're in season and dry enough to last til the next season, but nothing beats the fresh ones!

Peanut butter & bacon sandwich. Not unusual, have seen this on menus. Delicious too.
Scrapple with syrup or catsup.
Karo syrup on bread.

Fried green tomatoes ... Just tart enough to get your tongue going

Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes topped with butter and vinegar. MM MMM GOOD!

My hubby is an avid outdoorsman. He fishes, he hunts, he traps, he forages, he does not waste. You never know what he could be making. One of his favorite things to barbeque is beaver. Get it-roast beaver! Ewwww!
Then there were the hispanics next door. They wanted a skunk. Well of course he got one. They ate it. It was supposed to be a folk cure for something but I don't remember what.
Yuk!!!

My g/f ALWAYS drinks the juice leftover from a can of black olives.

I too love the BBQ pizza from Pizza Hut, or any other pizza place so far.

It not all that uncommon, but I don't think I saw it here. Banana and Mayo sammiches..Yum!

Can you really eat that? I've seen a birch tree, I've seen the bark, I've just never seen anything eatable there or I never realized there was anything eatable there.

I have had millionaire salad aka palm hearts. Not much taste but very tender, a texture like asparagus, but nowhere near the flavor.

There are some interesting diets here.

Baduizm-
Put a big helping (tbsn) of p'nut butter and a big dollop of honey in the blender with a cup of milk. Turn it on medium and add a banana. Breakfast of champions!

Next time you're in a hard core Chinese restaurant, order some pig ears. They're wonderful, crunchy, usually spicy...and difficult to recognize. They're sliced very thin.

It's also a good evaluation point with regards to Chinese food. Your basic "US interior" Chinese restaurant zero chance. Some dim sum places have 'em, some don't. But ALL of what one might call Chinese Chinese restaurants have them...because they're GOOD. For example, Southland Taste and A&J, California chains represented in both LA and the SF bay area, both do a great job. Vancouver and Toronto also have a good supply of Chinese Chinese restaruants.

It can be tough ordering in English.

It has been a week since the morel comments but they had them for one week at Farmer Jack her in MI. $49.95 a pound. Too much for me to spend. I spent a little time in the woods but never saw any. Saw a few other muchrooms I could not ID 100%.

Head cheese, also known as SOUSE, is good. And you can generally find it either HOT or mild. Best with crackers. I prefer Ritz (everything tastes better when it sits on a Ritz). Grandma used to make hog head cheese the old fashioned way. Watching it being made does NOT encourage one to eat it!

Road kill is o.k. As long as you killed it or witnessed the kill. Don't judge freshness by the clearness of the eyes. And swerving off the road to kill something does not count as road kill. That's called "hunting". ROFL.

This straight from my kid joke fits the topic so I have to tell it.
Kid: This stew tastes just like dogfood!
Cook: You're crazy! How can cat food taste like dog food?

Snowy, I'd completely forgotten making manifold potroast! Put it up in tinfoil on the block of my '74 Suburban, told the kids we're going' to visit Granma & Granpa, when we got there din was ready! What a kick!

Road kill is o.k. As long as you killed it or witnessed the kill.

Road kill is popular in Alaska. You get your name on a list in your area, when an accident is reported they call the first name on the list, "Mr. Doe there is a dead moose 4 miles north of Wasilla, you'll find a wrecked Toyota Landcruiser at the site"

If you can't make the pickup they put your name at the bottom of the roadkill list and call the next person on the list.

You'd think the accident victim would be first in line for the freezer full of meat, but they are usually in no condition to butcher a moose after and encounter with them, many times they are road kill themselves.

Tip from Tinker-Re:Manifold cooking
Crack open the can before you begin the "cooking" process. Beanie Weenie, Vienna sausage, soup, they ALL make a big MESS!!!

I absolutely LOVE black olives. I open a small can of olives and shove the entire can in my mouth, juice and all. My family and friends just cringe and leave the room.

I also love sauerkraut plain. It's so good. Everyone I have eaten in front of make me stop!

I eat EVERYTHING as long as it has my special garlic mustard on it-with PB, on burgers, with miracal whip (salad dressing) and toasted chestnuts, and the only way I will eat sushi is with my mustard.

Well, I am sitting here eating a horseradish dip with chips that seems to make other people ill. I also love ham sausage, cheese and eggs covered with salsa. The one thing I can't get enough of is garlic : cloves, crushed, etc. I can eat it right out of the jar. I pile it on anything I cook I have been told that my whole body smells of garlic for days after. I love garlic!

pharlap and doxdogy,

Thanks for letting me know that someone else dips their french fries! When I was a kid, I always dipped mine in my McDonald's chocolate shake (HAD to be McDonalds, and HAD to be chocolate). I'm going to tell my mother, 'cause she's thought for years that I was gross and disgusting for doing that!

I also used to get a plain fish sandwich (no tartar sauce, no lettuce, no nothin'), and I'd dip THAT into my chocolate shake as well! (OK, that really is pretty gross, but I LOVED the taste!).

Peanut butter and honey is great! My sister used to make "peanut butter candy" for her kids. Mix peanut butter and honey together, then stir in a fair amount of wheat germ. Form it into little balls, and you have a VERY nutritious snack! She'd also cook a huge batch of pancakes to have plenty of leftovers, she'd then refrigerate them and pull them out for the kids' lunches, spreading PB on one and honey on the other--put 'em together for a deelish pancake sandwich!

BTW in Europe they eat mayonnaise on fries. If you put ketchup on, they know you're American! Ranch dressing on ANYTHING deep fried is great, and I guess that's pretty close to mayo!


Without eBay, I might have a real life...

My husband hates the smell of corn nuts. I mean he loathes them. So in the last 10 years I have pretty much gone without them. He did go on a trip once without me and I remember I ate a bunch then. They didn't taste very good either-- not like I remembered them. Oh well, forbidden things are rarely as good as we want them to be.

He eats all kinds of gross things. I try not to think about it too much...

When i'm in the states, i put mayo on fries, but it doesn't taste the same as freitsaus.

i also make waffle batter and then fry it on the stove, making crepes. i've never had an waffle iron but love the the taste of waffles.

when cooking dinner i tend to add nutmeg or other various spices to "spice up" the dinner. my family wont let me cook i'll add anything to green beans b/c i HATE them.
