| HAHAHA........this thread is awesome I love reading about weird stuff people eat. I don't really have anything that compares to some. My grandmother used to drink buttermilk and I tried a couple of times when I was a kid but just couldn't do it. She did get me hooked on a banana and mayonaise sandwich. My dad got me hooked on chicken gizzards. After living in California for awhile I moved to south Texas and one of the first things I saw when we got to Kingsville was a gas station that sold fried gizzards. I had my wife with me who was born and raised in California and she thought that was the most digusting thing she had ever seen. MMMMMMMM fried gizzards and hot sauce.......my mouth is watering. I also like to mix 50/50 mayo and BBQ suace for my french fries. But that is something I came up with on my own.

| Damn this thread is makin me hungry! When we grew up alot of the stuff that was on our dinner plate was "dinner" Eat it! we had all the wild game and some not so wild. Some of our familys favorites, Brains and eggs were a treat! Testicles,pig calf, turkey, whatever! My wifes favorite ,Stewed tomato dumplings. And one from my dad that I still love, Peanut butter, mayo, and dill pickle on white bread If I could still get it Raw milk right out of the bulk tank. Growing up mostly on a farm was a good thing and one thing I can say is we were never truely hungry. Thanks Mom and Dad!

| I was never fed anything weirder than liver and onions... But I did work with a guy who was retired navy... He said when he was overseas he ran into these people who would take a large bird egg (like an ostrich egg) that was partially developed...put it in the sand for a week until it fermented...then eat it! I still get nauseous just thinking about it. Oh and dad loves cornbread and buttermilk...not me

My parents taught me to eat any damn thing you could get into your mouth. I grew up really poor and we grew or shot everything we ate. We only went to the store for things like flour, sugar, cornmeal, milk, etc. ALL vegetables and meats were self provided. Every few months we would buy porkchops, cause my dad hated live hogs, but loved porkchops. My parents didn't make me eat anything on my plate. I wanted to. I could get up at any time. Catch was, that was it. Get up and your plate was gone. No eating anything later.

What kind of strange things did your parents try to get you to eat? You know they did.Never anything strange, at least not to me. Mom cooked Liver (calf liver) and onions and she couldn't cook enough for me, I loved them then and love them now. What we ate may be strange to some but not to us..Just about 80% Italian cooking. There were a few things that I didn't like and still don't. Brussel Sprouts, Escarole (type of green ok in salad but not cooked), lentils in soup. As a child Gram would start the Sunday supper (that meal was the only time we called it supper as it was a feast gathering for the whole family) at 7am in the morning. My brother and I couldn't wait till the meatballs were cooked (seared) and we would have two large meatballs, not ready sauce and REAL Italian bread (not sliced but tore apart) for breakfast, EVERY Sunday. The meal cooked ALL day and ready to serve at around 5PM. Never drank buttermilk at home but can drink it by the quart now...without bread or cornbread. Always had a gallon of red wine on the table with dinner. Now married to a Southern gal and they eat crap I can't stand...Any dried type of beans and peas like black eyed/purple hull etc. Chitterlings (tried them boiled and tried them fried) still. Have eaten monkey, snake, alligator, goat head (in Athens), snails  most likely dog and no telling what else. As long as it won't kill me I'll try just about anything it at least one time, never know if I'd like it. And you will never find me leaving food uneaten on my plate...was taught..take what you want but eat what you take. If not sure,small portions and can always go back for more. This also goes for me when eating at all you care to eat places. Wasting food is one of the greatest sins to me.

| So far not much on here would be counted strange, except maybe the reproductive organs; even though I did have a few too many drinks at a Shriner's fish fry once and tried some of the crispy little "'hor de vours" which I was informed later was turkey fries. Dang, I thought, just as good as chicken fingers, till I found out where the turkey fries came from. Like a lot of you, we grew up in the country, poor, raised everything, hunted and ate what we shot. Dad loved squirrel brains, with or without eggs, but I never developed the taste for them. I had a brother-in-law that would crack chicken bones and dig out the marrow. I guess the most unusual food that I liked was souse meat. Made from a lot a different parts of the pig,( ears, snouts, knuckles, ets) boiled and add spices, and put into a press for a while, and it comes out firm. Some call it head cheese. Can be fried or eaten like it is.

How to cook perfect mater gravy n' grits. We grew up poor too. Squirrl, dove, gopher, turtle, deer, turkey, most any kind of fish, lots of grits, biscits, rice. Entertain yourself and don't count on anyone to do it for you. Don't worry about the law...worry about him. LOL You got into it by yourself...get youself out. If you gonna be dumb, you better be tough. Work hard.."Son, if you ain't doing nothing but shoveling shit...don't bitch. Be the best shit shoveler and you won't be shoveling shit long". I could go on and on......

| I forgot about this. It wasn't during my childhood, but when I was in the Air Force in Alaska. I worked with a native civilian on the base and he invited me to his house for drinks and dinner with him and his wife. Three of the things I remember were fried abalone, hooligan oil, and some type of fish roe that looked almost like little tree branches with ice fog on them. Both the fish roe and the hooligan oil were extremely fishy, but the abalone was quite good. It tasted like a cross between chicken and clams.

Squirrel brains. My grandparents were from eastern Kentucky (mountains) and they didn't waste anything. Grew up on the pork brains and eggs too. Delicious!! Squirrel Brains. I have heard that before. But Why? It can't be filling cause it ain't much, I don't see how anyone could know if they are good for you, and they have got to be hard to get to. I guess they must be just good.

| My uncle from New Orleans showed us this one. When we fry shrimp, we save the heads. Pluck the nasty crap outta there, batter, and fry. Mainly you're just eating batter, but most people are somewhat skiddish of eating "sea spiders".

| This is not strange, but we ate lot's of Pintos and cornbread, Cornbread and milk (sweet or butter milk). Mom tried to pass off the liver as steak and gravy (but I didn't buy that!) Turnip greens with some Poke Salad mixed in, and other stuff that I didn't appreciate at the time. Mom is gone now, and I sure wish I had a big plate of that stuff right now! My Dad used to tell me to NEVER pee on an electric fence. I never understood why this was so important until this year when my Ol' dog, Red hiked his leg and peed on my electric fence! Dad was a real smart Man!!!
