Okay Ariete... then I don't want to know what you could possibly think of our snails in butter and garlic and frog legs. Or veal, or brain, or "langue de boeuf"... I never tried those but my parents did.

Snails I've had and veal of course, and open to try langue de boeuf or frog legs.

Veal is actually considered exotic by some?

Sorry, by veal I mean not the usual part but the other parts. I don't know, I've never eaten veal, what do you eat in the veal when you eat it ?

My phrasing is a bit heavy... for me everything is exotic, when people eat veal, what parts do they eat ? The head too ? Is this common ?

Veal is pretty much cut like beef in Austria. You can use everything. Even the head. Doesn't even look too offensive.

Many 'exotic' foods, such as citrus and bananas are nowadays usual even in a relatively poor country like Ukraine, but it doesn't make them part of Ukrainian cuisine, because they simply don't grow here.

We have recipes for nearly every part of veal/beef, pork and so on. For example we eat the tongue of the beef too (cut in thin slices with various sauces), the stomach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripe ), in this period there is a local fair near Cuneo centered on snails. For new year's day we are used to eat the "zampone", which is like a sausage but made inside the feet of a pig https://www.google.it/search?q=zampo...nwVyiqCG8LM%3A

Some of the recipes that sound the worst are the ones that use pig's blood (that are just a couple, luckily)
