I've never seen or had the pleasure of trying a mince pie.
But I'd eat anything.
Especially if its got booze in it!
Ever had tripe? or pig snoots?

You can probably find good menudo down there in Texas.
I gotta go to el barrio to get it 'round here.

Re: Around the Wordl in 80 Meals
Nepal
There's a Nepalese restauant close to where I work:
http://www.everestcafeandbar.com/
I hit up their lunch buffet occasionally.
I love curry.

Re: Tripe
I haven't actually had a snout cooked and put in front of me for example.
They're usually BBQ'd and crunchy, like pork rinds (or pork scratchings as wiki tells me they're called in the UK):
Here's some at the top left:
They actually taste like pork rinds too.
So what is the weirdest thing you have eaten?
Probably menudo (tripe soup).
Or goat curry.
I had an ostrich burger once.
Oh wait...
Tongue tacos.... actually really tender.
Or brain sandwiches.

Re: Tripe
Pork scratchings are deep fried crunchy bits of pork fat usually sold in pubs like crisps (or is that "chips in american"?). Personally I can't stand them. But I cannot see anything that resembles them in your pic.
Think of the thing in the back covered in BBQ as one big thick chip, or crisp. Instead of just a 'bit' its the whole side of the face of the pig as one piece.
Probably menudo (tripe soup).
Cool. Never heard of it. Where was that.
At a "real" mexican restauant in el barrio...aka Fairmont City, Illinois:
quote:
Fairmont City holds the highest percentage of Hispanics in the entire St Louis Metropolitan area, with 55% of the population of Hispanic descent.
and that 55% is those accounted for. There's tons of illegals there too.
There's two "real" mexican restaurants there (by real I mean owned and ran by mexicans that can't speak english [ordering your meal requires a lot of pointing to the pictures of the food they've gratiously put up on the wall]). Its damn authentic though. Some of the shit they have in there even grosses me out. There's a grocery store in the front that sells mexican imports... the 'meat' section has all kinds of crazy body parts laying aroung
I had an ostrich burger once.
I saw that last time I was at Glastonbury festival but never got round to trying it. Would you reccommend it?
Sure, I have no reason not to. Its not particularly great, but there's nothing wrong with it. It is lean and like combo of pork and poultry, or something like that.
Tongue tacos.... actually really tender.
Tongue sandwich sounds like some sort of sexual fantasy involving lesbians. But now I am letting your imagination run away with me.....
In that case, I'd prefer a tougue hotdog bun
Or brain sandwiches.
Is that brawn on toast? Whose brain?
I don't know what brawn on toast means. It was some poor cows brain, though, cooked and served on a hamburger bun.

Re: Tripe
The snoot is just like cracklins, only one big ol' piece instead of a bunch of little ones, and covered in BBQ sauce... and on bread.
It delicious if you like cracklins.
Pork scratchings sound like "cracklins", which are the left over bits from the rendering of a big hunk of pork lard.
I'm pretty sure its the skin, not just the lard.

Re: Tripe
One of the pleasures of the internet is that we don't have to present our regular face to the world.
Nor see the faces of others....
