Subject: Describe or display the ugliest looking food you have ever consumed.

Written By: DoRitos on 12/26/07 at 5:18 am

You know something yummy looking like this.

I have the esteemed honor in my family of having the rep. for preparing really ugly looking food but at the same time tastes remarkably good.  I served an omelette to one of my son's friends once and he asked "Is that thing dead, I could have sworn it moved".  I then replied "try it, you'll like it" and he couldn't believe that "he ate the whole thing". (Good thing he wasn't my son - I'd have asked him if he wanted to eat it or wear it.)

tripe, the lining of a stomach. Whose idea was that anyway, and why continue unless you are extremely impoverished?
I am cheating a bit, there isn't anyway this ever got past my lips

Pretty much anything I try to make from scratch turns out pretty ugly, but it is edible.  Kinda.  lol

This stuff has got to be the ugliest looking & tasting stuff I ever ate!

I don't like Spam either. I can eat one slice and that eats. It's too freaking salty.

I also HATE hog's head cheese. It's a gross slimy jellied meat block made with the snouts, ears, maws and probably anything else on the pig. (I love pork, but not that!) And it's like chewing on a canvas shoe when you try to eat it.  8-P 8-P
My father loves it and raves about it, but I wouldn't eat it if I was on the brink of starvation and that's all that was available. 8-P

If God had wanted meat to be jellied, it'd come in Smucker's jars!

I'll never eat Hog's Head Cheese!

Thankfully I have never had Spam or Hogs Head Cheese... I don't eat cheese...

FAST FOOD is the art of hitting a deer at 60 MPH.  It takes finesse.


http://residents.bowhunting.net/awesomehunting/Photo/buck012.jpg

Locate deer on roadway

http://media.motortopia.com/files/5499/vehicle/46ed7b13667e5/Truck_012.jpg

Rev engine to 60 MPH (Last thing the critter sees is headlights, bumper and FORD).

http://www.wisconsinsportsmanmag.com/hunting/whitetail-deer-hunting/WI_1105_02A.jpg

Load 'er in the back and head for the locker.

A proud Texas tradition going back to the days when trucks were first able to obtain speeds in excess of 59 MPH.

Chitlins- this is an aquired taste thing, there is no way you can "develop" a palate for it. (pig poop chutes, look funny, taste exactly like they smell.....)

I've always fancied trying tripe.  I spotted some in a supermarket recently and was tempted to buy it.  :-\\
