I made frowny-face with just about every post in this thread except for the fish and grits thing (though I’ve never actually tried it, it doesn’t sound particulary disgusting like the other stuff).
Anybody ever been invited to dinner over someone else’s house where something from this thread was the main course? Yeah… that liver shit is not cool. At least when chitlins are prepared there’s usually other stuff to choose from because it’s usually a cookout or a Sunday dinner type thing, but the smell is very off-putting yo…
Ever tried beef/calf liver… if you cook it correctly its a very tender and tasty piece of meat… so fuckin good(personally just make a gravy, the smell when it is raw might put you off though)… never eaten that fried and never plan to…
It has a better consistency than chicken liver imo but doesn’t seem like something you can fryshrugs
I dunno about beef liver, it’s got a very powerful, somewhat gritty taste to it, due to the animal being alive for too long. Calf and chicken livers are far superior.
I agree fully… anyone here try beef kidney… that is better than any organ I’ve eaten off of anything…
Also pig hearts are tasty… damn I gonna die an early death(I’m going to end up eating something I have no business eating one day)… I really want to eat some “rocky mountain oysters”…
EDIT: Nothing in here makes me cringe unless somebody bringing up eating shit like roaches…
Deer Hearts, squirrel, snake, I’ll try pretty much anything. I find quail particularly delicious as well as fried chicken gizzards, not livers though. I’m not really a fan of the texture that liver has. Pigs feet, jowls, fatback. you name it I’ll eat it at least once lol.
Technically speaking, it’s south of the mason dixon line…in reality though, the south ‘starts’ somewhere north of richmond, but south of ‘northern virginia’
Bear Grylls would tell you that bugs are good protein, but you gotta pick the legs outta your teeth afterward. I’ve tried silkworm larvae before, but didn’t think much of them.
Even still…while I’ll consider Richmond “Souf”…its not full tilt…its why I think of the DMV states (not just metro area) as the real east coast…you’ve got up “Norf” - 'Bah’stun to Nuyawk and Jerz, as one way of life, and then you get this…way of life ‘grade’ that shifts in between fast paced north and slow ass souf…and thats this region…hell if I want to look at whats poppin locally in SF, I go to the Atlantic North section.
But alas you go to any part of MD outside of B-more/PGC…and you feel down south…nothing but trailer parks, farms, and small ass hicktowns.
