Escargot.

Not chewy in a good way like calamari is.

Liver is also nasty, but I do like pate.

I'll gladly take brussells sprouts, rutabaga, baked beans, pizza, potato salad.

Just please, no more Thousand-year eggs.

The whites are black. The yolks are green. I wondered why none of my friends wanted to share.

Were they offended? Or did they just laugh it off? Like, "Typical American." lol

Yeah, I couldn't do that.

My great depression Era grandmother always cooled us dogfish which tasted like the bottom of the river . She would also cook us Lard sandwiches, and bacon grease sandwiches, they were the grossest thing ever but she never wasted anything. I am going to have to ask my dad what other yummy things she made for them growing up.

Kimchi. Smells like rotten cabbage, which I guess it is.

I didn't understand why she did it in the 90's though I thought of another one after bailing hay she would feed us a big fat tomato on a piece of bread with a hunk of butter on it, ew.

lol! Well, my grandparents went through the Depression, too. For the rest of her life, my grandma would never throw anything out. She would have used aluminum foil stocked up in the kitchen. She would never be able to use it all, but she kept saving and saving it...

I can allllmost get behind that one. lol Sorta close to a tomato sandwich with mayo, which I love. But, like a big, cold hunk of butter?
