Part of an animal you would not eat, acknowledging that you might've already eaten them unknowingly

[Amerigo Vespucci]

If you eat "processed lunch meats" or hot dogs or any number of other foods, you might have already eaten everything on my list. But if you hadn't, where would you draw the line?

1. My dear Amerigo Vespucci!

Omigod.

:scared:

:puke:

2. I had to read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" in college...

...and I once read a statement by someone who worked in a meat processing plant who claimed that in hot dog manufacturing, "everything goes in but the squeal."

So...being the "do the math" kinda guy I am...

:rofl:

:toast:

[flvegan]

3. I chose the "sit and laugh" option, naturally.

:rofl:

[rug]

4. Well, the anus wasn't all that bad, properly seasoned.

[undeterred]

5. You need a sit and cry option for new vegetarians.

[Kali]

6. eh, if I can't id the parts I can take it

hot dogs and baloney are fine occasionally (provided it was from a healthy animal) but I don't really care for identifiable "parts"

they make great pet food though. the pups and kittehs aren't so squeamish.

7. The squeal nt

8. I was tricked into eating Rocky Mountain Oysters once

I didn't like the taste before I knew what they were, and sure didnt' like them afterward I found out :(

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I ate those once, too, on sort of a dare.

Very rubbery.

[carlyhippy]

10. yeah...pretty icky

11. That shoulda told you they were encased in...

.
.
.
.
.
...sheep intestine casings.
.
.
.
.
.
In Germany, my German ex made me Beef Lungs, considered a delicacy there -- not
allowed here since FOREVER because of TB, I think.
.
The sauce was delicious... but the lungs were chewy and chewy and chewy and chewy
amd chewy, etc.
.
The sauce was GONE long before the lungs were. My ex was an EXCELLENT cook, but
it's the one thing I asked her never to prepare again.
.
.
.
.
About a year later, I sat down to one of her delicious meals that was chewy and
chewy and chewy and chewy and chewy, etc.
.
I don't know WHY she might've thought that I wouldn't recognize it.

14. I believe they were encased in what nature encased them in.

So it's really more accurate to say that they were leathery on the outside and rubbery on the inside.

:puke:

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. Sorry. Poor attempt at an obscure reference joke.

.
.
.
Sheep intestines used to be used as condoms --
hence the "rubbery" casing connection.
.
.
.
I don't think I could eat them without
crumpling up in place.
.
.
.
Somehow, I'd feel as though I were betraying
the boys.

20. you can get calf fries at the Rock Springs Cafe, in Black Canyon City

on the way up to Prescott or Flag

you can also get a piece of pie that is probably the best in the state (unless the Palominas Country Store is still open down by Sierra Vista near the border)

[MiddleFingerMom]

22. I know what calf fries are...

.
...I SHUDDER to think of what's in that pie. :scared: :scared:
.
.
.
Make that TWO shudders

[w8liftinglady]

23. so was I-at a bar in west texas...

not too bad after a few beers...

[Book Lover]

12. Other

The heart. There is absolutely no logical reason for my refusal; I just can't eat someone's heart.

[csziggy]

13. Kidneys

I never really thought that they would be weird until I watched the Two Fat Ladies prepare steak and kidney pie. Which ever lady was doing it talked about how the kidneys have to be properly washed and washed and washed to get the urine taste out. Since then, I have no desire to taste that dish.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. I had steak and kidney pie in England.

Cat food would be an improvement.

[petronius]

16. I'll try at least a bite of anything, as long as it's part of a regular cuisine

If other people go out of their way to eat something (and they don't die horrible deaths), I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for at least one small swallow...

[Glassunion]

19. The soul.

[mcctatas]

21. I love Brats so I just have to assume I have eaten every part of the critter

from lips to asshole

[TZ]

24. Meh.

Unless you are growing and making your own food, its a given that all sorts of nasties are allowed in food--bugs, droppings etc etc..Its also said that the average person unintentionally swallows about 100 or so spiders over their lifetime..even vegans can't help accidently ingesting insects that fly or crawl in. Talk to a food science person some time..

[supernova]

25. That's the point of sausages

and their variants, making otherwise inedible parts edible. Often because they were fed to the lower social classes after the Lords & Ladies had their larders filled with steak and ham.

So, yes I have at one point or another eaten every thing up there.

26. Give me a good tail or anus any day, keep those hooves away from me!
