Dennis: I’ll Eat Anything But Bugs

Dennis: Have you ever found something odd in the food served to you at a restaurant? Depends on your definition of odd. Marrying in to a culture other than American, I have to say that the first year together was interesting to say the least!!! Live foods, foods that prior to my marrage would have been considered bait or animal chow, and other fare that would cause most red blooded country folk to turn green are normal meals in our household. I will say that bugs are not and have never been on the menu.

Question: What is the strangest thing that you’ve ever eaten?

    I did actually eat a huge grub once as a parent/leader on my sons survival bivi camp…… the kids (13 year olds) dug it out of a rotton tree and I explained to them that it was edible.. it was about 2 inchs long and about 3/4 inch fat, white with a black fanglys mouth LOL……

    Go on then miss, one smartarse said, if you say its edible then eat it….. go on miss….. what the hell does one do in that situation, but open ones mouth and pop it in LOL……

    The look on the nippers faces was priceless…… I did get a lot of school cred around school for that one, for about a month…. the word on the playground was MrsW, or Jacobs mum is wellabit cool she aint this huge bug on camp….

    But what the little darlings didnt see was when I excused meself, saying I needed a wee and needed to find a suitable woodland coverage, was, me gagging me guts up LMFAO…… they need never know I gag even now at the thought as that chewed up big grub slide down me throat LOL

    When I was a kid, I was a member of a grange hall and they cooked alot of unique things there.One day someone asked me to try this one piece of meat that came from a cow.I tasted it
    and they told me you just ate a cows tongue.It was pretty good
    until they told me what it was. :-0

    When Dave and I were newly weds, I baked a cow’s heart in the oven. I ate my dinner then headed for work. Dave came home from work and tried eating what I had fixed, even though he thought it looked strange. But that was no surprise since I had no idea how to cook when I got married. You see I had planned on marrying a wealthy man who would hire a cook and didn’t know Dave wasn’t one. I got a panicked call at work asking me what was that thing in the oven. He said it was the grossest thing he had ever eaten and made him puke. I agreed to never fix heart again and have kept that promise for almost 49 years. But now that I’m old, I may do it for fun if I get mad at him.

    marmitetoasty, I doubt that I’d ever eat any part of a cow, that came from Jolly Ole’ England.Why? Four years ago, there was the mad cow disease which, was running rampant and England was one of the hardest hit.Just how tasty is that cows tongue now?

    Kage - mad cow disease wasnt in real cows silly…….. it was in bitchy mother in laws……. I always even before it was rampent in England thought my X mother in law was a ‘mad cow’ ;)

    ps……. dont ya know these disease get irradicated and all is good in the world again……. gawd sake..
