Ah everything in this thread has made me feel sick...I so vanilla!

My mum used to prepare us tripe and I liked it - it was the sauces she made to go with it that made the dish She never mastered liver - in fact, she ruined it for me. I'd like to try these things in a French restaurant, where they actually know what to do with these bits and pieces!

fish have scales!
Let me amend that to land dwelling animals with scales or maybe just reptiles *ugh*

Goanna is quite nice.

This is how I fixed that too. I still remember my first duck liver and corn fritter experience... and thinking I had died and gone to heaven. And wondering why when my mother made liver it tasted NOTHING like this... and from that moment on I stopped being scared of food.

But I'll tell you something I hate... black pudding. No. Freakin. Way.

Looooove black pudding!! Don used to make the best black pudding, then they discontinued it. Hunted down a deli in Yarraville who made their own, it was just ok. Now my local butcher stock a beautiful black pudding!
I loved bacon, egg and black pudding sandwhiches when I was pregnant, I still love it!

Rouge: I agree, restaurants are the best places to try these sorts of food. I love snails when I go to a French Restaurant.

I have a penchant for white pudding...which has got to be worse on my waistline! And only satisfied when I'm in Ireland...

I don't do organs. I don't even eat the skin on chicken.

Ohhhhh but crispy salty yummy chicken skin is the best!!! I leave the skin till last to eat!!!!!

What about the seafood with exoskeletons? I'm partial to them but land dwelling exoskeleton =

I find crustaceans all a bit "meh". Not unplesant, but not worth the pricetag.

Put it next to a plate of perfectly seared spring lamb fresh from a mate's farm, and I will be throwing small children out of the way to get it.

DH however would be all over the lobster/scampi/crab/bug (morton bay, not insect...) or whatever.

How on earth did we ...?

Oh yeah, "Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains!!"

I'll eat your share of the chicken skin.

I can't leave the skin to last or the boys will steal it right off my plate.

[~me~]

Crispy chicken skin..ooh yum and pork crackling! My DH doesn't eat chicken skin, I get it all to myself

My Mum used to make us crumbed lambs brains when we were kids. I quite liked them!

Reading this thread, I remember eating this meal at daycare and I've never known what the meat was, and the carers would never tell us, so we joked that it was elephant. It wasn't meaty like a steak or anything.
I wonder what it was? How would I know?
