Majorian posted:Eating viscera, on the other hand, was completely abandoned by the middle class. (and rightfully so, because loving ew) Sweetbreads, livers, and kidneys are fantastic. They just need to be fresh and prepared properly. There's a pie shop down the road where I can get kidney pie with golf ball sized pieces of kidney. I might have to eat that for dinner.

ReindeerF posted:It's particularly funny here when we have a generation of Thai hipsters though, because they hold farmers markets and artisanal fairs and it's a Goddamn developing country that depends largely on agriculture and I guarantee you 75% of these people have never met a farmer. That's true across most of the industrializing world though.

Just got to wait until you find the right place to try them. It's like oysters, a well fried oyster is a wonderful thing of beauty. A poorly fried one could either get you sick or be hard as a rock.

It's odd, it should be more or less like sausage meat, which I like, but every time I've been around when someone's cook it, scrapple smells like rear end.

Seriously try them at a good restaurant. I'll tell you what you don't want to eat though, sweetlivers, sweetlivers are gross. And who really wants to eat a cooked internal parasite. I'd avoid possum, raccoon, and squirrel too. zoux posted:I like my oysters raw. I just can't handle it. I've tried every thing just short of brains (risking prion diseases isn't my cup of tea) but I just can't do the raw oysters. Even as an "oyster shot" edit: Captain_Maclaine posted:I also find it useful for dressing poultry, particularly leaner birds that otherwise easily dry out. I like to do it with pancetta, especially on turkey. It cooks into and merges with the skin of a turkey, turning almost into like a chip.

When I was writing my college thesis I had this Serbian plum brandy that I'm pretty sure could have gotten a rocket into orbit. I'm really partial to syrahs though.

I've only had oysters once, they came from a can and were oily and gross. It did not make me want to try fresh or raw ones, to see if they were more authentic or what have you. v this sounds unbelievably foul
