Actually, I have been worried that maybe I shouldn't have posted that link. I sincerely hope I didn't offend anyone. I have a sick and twisted sense of humor and forget that lots of people don't.That's the same article I saw, Mom. I ran across it on Stumble. I was afraid to post the link because of the language.
I do remember the first time I saw smut on the corn in my garden, and my father-in-law told me what it was. He told me then that, "Some folks eat this stuff".
I'l try anything at least once & if I like it, I'll keep eating it!
I applaud you, Hoot. I wish I could be like you about food. It would have saved me many long hours at the dinner table as a kid in front of a plate of congealing liver and onions! Seriously, there are a lot of things I just cannot eat. Stuff that isn't even "bad". I don't understand it but I know I would be violently ill if I tried to force myself to eat something that my brain is saying "no, no, no" to. And I'm not a wimp at all. I'm a mom now many times over and I worry about what they are and are not eating so I guess it's payback but I still can't eat liver and onions!Well, I reckon, I fall into the minority here. From my perch at the top of the food chain (shared only with a few other creatures), there is absolutely nothing that I will not try.
Nearly all of what I have tried, I like!!
Seems like the older I get, the less picky I am about food.
Actually, I grew up eating some of the things mentioned here...rabbits, squirrel, chitlin's, pig's feet, frog legs, oysters, crawdads, etc.
I used to have an aversion to fried pork liver, but now I like it. Most everything else has been good. I have encouraged my kids to keep an open mind about food and I think they have.
I heartily encourage everyone to revisit some of the things you didn't like with an open mind. You might be pleasantly surprised!
Hmmm... have I already responded to this thread? All of a sudden this answer sounds familiar!
