Don Gato posted:If I'm eating an animal then every part is already on the menu, I don't see why I wouldn't eat pigs feet or chicken feet since I'm already eating the rest. The only exception is eye and brain, the texture for both trigger the part of my brain that screams "NOT FOOD". Sheep eye is probably the grossest thing I ever ate. Raw it's hard, cooked it's a lot more like unchewable gelatin. Just had to swallow the thing whole because I couldn't spend any more time trying to chew it before I puked. Worse than toenails on chicken feet that's for sure. I remember going through a small town in Vietnam and seeing a sign with cats and dogs and pigs all over it, and the slow realization "huh I haven't seen any pet shops here... oh that's not a pet store, that's a restaurant with a picture menu"

Chicken feet was pretty standard "foot of the mountain" food, right next to the fried larvae, when you went hiking in Korea. I tried chicken feet once and it was as described: good sauce, terrible texture, too much work. I couldn't bring myself to eat bugs. I know we'll likely be eating bug protein based pastes in the next 30 years, but I'm happy with pork for the time being. My wife loves chicken cartilage though so whenever we're at a restaurant that serves it she orders a plate. Usually the menu calls it "chicken knuckles" but I am not entirely sure where on the chicken it originates. It basically looks like small pieces of popcorn chicken and is as chewy as you'd expect. My kid seems to love it too so I guess it's just one of those things that if you grow up with it, you don't mind the texture at all. I can't really stand it personally. Only thing that is worse for me is pig ear. That is vile.

at the goon meeting in chengdu in 2017 I am p sure caberham or fart Simpson ordered us cow brains for our hotpot and didn't tell us that's what it was, but I honestly don't remember. someone ordered pig dick on a street skewer in Tianjin and gave it to a newbie and they got really upset and some people lol'd and others were like 'bruh not cool' none of this poo poo bothers me in the least, tho I can't say I was looking forward to eating cow brains. I think one of the goons there wasn't happy about it but I don't remember exactly so who knows/who cares

Tripe is excellent as its folds soak up all that tasty sauce it comes with. It has to be eaten hot though. The chicken feet I prefer are the ones that are fall-off-the-bone tender so you can just yank out the digits and, slurp off the meat and spit out the bones without much effort. Duck feet are the ones I'll pass on because they cling to the bone and are nowhere near as tender. Way more work for less reward.

Full court press from wife and inlaws. Just would not hear anything else. My students, when asked about the question, are about 75/25 against the idea. But when push comes to shove, can they say no to their parents if they want it? I dunno.

The weird food thing I just found out about is Taiwan's obsession with chicken testicles. A Taiwanese friend sent me a picture of chicken balls pizza commenting she was unsure why her people hated italian food so much, which put me down a path of finding 10000 chicken testicle related dishes in Taiwan. I asked a few mainland friends from all over and the response was near-universally (except one person from Guanggong) "you're lying no one eats that" so I assume it's probably regional.

We ate a bunch of it because we're cheap, but it's not something I would ever order or knowingly eat again. I also tried raw octopus (not in Japan, just a Japanese restaurant). The waitress asked us repeatedly if we really wanted to order it just to make sure we knew what we were getting into. It was actually delicious but the texture is appalling so it's not on my list either.

I don’t think chicken balls is actually that common and that pizza was definitely intentionally made to stir people up; recently one restaurant made a chicken testicle pizza and it kinda went viral; even their advertisement about it was like “testing the limits of Italians” or something

I've had chicken balls in hot pot before. They were definitely much smaller than that. Those must come from some big rear end chickens.

I keep playing this quote in my head that i read a while ago about how "xi / china demands respect from a world that he refuses to understand".

Now, admittedly my knowledge with Daoism starts and ends with the Dao De Ching, with a vague recollection that some kook made noises about butterflies a few centuries later, but wouldn't living past your natural span of time be considered against the spirit of the whole thing? Bit like Buddhism with its 'We're a peaceful religion (Ignore the war god) that shuns materialism (Ignore the 50-foot golden statue)" issue.
