Well, the subject was bizarre foods.  In order to be discussed in the thread, wouldn't it have to be edible? 

  ;D

Ah, you are correct sir, I stand corrected...

Two foods that I really liked were my grandma's cottage cheese and my Aunt Veta's sour pickles.  I liked them best when Mom smelled them and said "I think we'd better throw these out"  ;D

I like food you can taste ;)

Frog legs come to mind on bizarre foods. Norm & his brother got a bunch one day hunting bullfrogs, brought them home and cooked them right up. I just could not bring myself to put one in my mouth. 

To a hillbilly, frog legs are not considered bizzare at all.

They can seem bizzare if you dont pull the nerve when cleaning them then put them straight in the grease and they start hopping. But still all the food so far has been fresh aint none of it shot full of mold. The ideal of eating something moldy like blue cheese just dont sit good with me.

I musta missed the part about knocking the bugs and dirt off. Ya gotta have protein and minerals, ya know. What about fiddleheads? I almost grabbed me a bunch of 'em in SC, but I figured the folks in the park might get mad....

Fiddleheads R good...sautee them in butter with a little lemon verbena..

UUmmmmmmmmmmmm  Oysters on the ½ shell, with a touch of Lusiana Hot Sauce.
Slurp, slurp. Gusta Mucho.  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

nope..Crystal hot sauce is the bomb on seafood...Louisiana, and Tabasco are foreggs and chicken...

Tejas Pedro is for Gizzards and Wings..

And Dave's insanity sauce is for bringing down that sucker that claims it can't be too hot...lol

y'know, as southern as i am..I hate grits..and iced tea..

Hominy on the other hand...Take a pork butt and sear it in the grill, then drop it in the pressure cooker with a couple chopped onions, and cook as for making stew...whilst that is cooking,  take a little butter and start it in the skillet...melt and boil the water out, then add roughly a tablespoon of either all purpose flour or bread flour ( I prefer bread flour.more gluten, makes a better texture stew) cook this over low heat stirring constantly with a whisk..until it is a light dirty blond color, set the roux aside to cool while the
stew finishes in the cooker..once that is done, let the cooker pressure down, set it in the sink and run a little cool water over the top, it will pressure down a bit quicker..pick the meat out and strain the garbage out of the broth and run the broth back into the pot, you might need to add a little water to it, but you can do that after thickening...bring the stock back to a slow boil, and add the roux a little at a time, thicken as much as you want, but again, think beef stew...now start adding chile powder, to taste, but it's best with just a little heat, so as to avoid masking the pork flavor...season further with garlic, cumin and maybe a little cayenne...pick the meat apart and remove the fat, as for pulled bbq and add back to the stew,
let this cook at a light simmer, and add a couple cans of  rinsed  white hominy, and maybe a little tin of green chile. add water as needed to maintain the consistency, and you may have to add a bit more chile powder as the flavors meld...the dish is called posole, traditional mexican stew...yer s'posed to use dried white corn, but it has to soak for three days, then you have to scrub the bloody husks off....umm...nahh.

Bush oysters    =   crumbed and fried calf testicles. ;D

Did you know that grits are a great rust remover whe used in a walnut shell blaster.

Talked to one of the drivers at my last job yesterday. He spent the winter in the Philipines. He said it was like living in the Bizarre food show all winter. He said the further from the city you got, the poorer things were and the more varied your lunch selections became.
