There was this Japanese BBQ restaurant in NYC years ago that went under during covid and they had something called the tongue experience on the menu which was I believe 3 different parts of beef tongue that all tasted surprisingly different. Wish that place was still in business

Look, just because a food that normally isn't green is green doesn't mean it's disgusting. Someone should write a book explaining this.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Yes it’s extremely common to have them as a side dish. Do you live somewhere with no mexicans? I can see it as a side dish, it's just weird to see a whole bowl of it. I'd be similarly surprised by someone being served a big bowl of mashed potatoes with a spoon for lunch. Canada. I can't be sure, but our version of mexican food is likely even less authentic than taco bell. Do y'all have mexi-fries?

being british we don't have as easy access to tater tots as americans but years ago i was treated to 'totchos' in new orleans by some shitfaced woman i'd met on tinder and her friends. ate them then smoked a joint with a random guy outside before going home, A+ would do again. when i was high relatively recently i had a very strong visualisation of my own take on totchos i wanted to make, so wrote a note with the ingredients to hopefully do it one day if i can be arsed making my own tater tots or using croquettes or something. the list goes thus: tater tots crispy onion bacon sour cream jalapenos cheese

Butterfly Valley posted:Because there's so many interesting things out there they I haven't experienced yet and if some people like them then there must be some value in them.  This is my philosophy. I've had a few things that I'll probably not order again for a while, and it can be a challenge to get into some foods, but then it opens up a whole door for new experiences. Folding a cuisine I'm not used to into my life is really rewarding - if millions of people wake up in the morning to a hot bowl of rice and natto, there has to be something to it, and I want to know what.

Not saying that isn't a worthwhile pursuit, but most people eat what they eat for breakfast because it's available and imbued with cultural inertia, not for any inherently meaningful reason. People in the US might eat oatmeal or grits or cream of wheat for their wet warm slop, but it's almost entirely happenstance of birth location and parent preference. Switching from Wheatina to Quaker Oats isn't exactly a spiritual awakening. Switching from Canadian Bacon to basically any other pork product might be, though

It's kinda fun to go to those American-Chinese/Pan Asian places that have like 800 menu items, and order something at random. A lot of times, you and the cook are both experiencing it for the first time.

When I was growing up, a family friend adopted a girl from China. They got some recent Chinese immigrants who ran a restaurant nearby to teach their daughter Chinese so she'd have some connection to her original home. I went to a birthday party they hosted for her at the restaurant. There was absolutely nothing off the American Chinese menu except white rice. They prepared a whole feast of traditional dishes that they would themselves have for a celebration. I honestly don't know what half the poo poo I ate even was that day, but it was an amazing experience. I doubt I'd ever eat jellyfish again on purpose, it was a very unpleasant texture to me and basically no flavor of its own anyway.

A lot of people are put off by the texture, but I really like the taste of natto, it's rich and nutty and savory, it's really nice.

I guess I should probably try it next time I have the opportunity since I know if more people really liked to eat jellyfish it'd be really convenient with how jellyfish are wildly overpopulating the seas. But I guess we haven't really had much success purposefully eating overabundant species down to manageable levels. Except maybe deer.

Still remember how one of the Ramona Quimby books had a plot point about how her parents were poor and tried to sneakily serve them tongue one night for dinner because it was cheap. The kids were mortified and it was seen as the ultimate betrayal I wonder if that caused a whole generation to spurn tongue forevermore

Could be, for a long time, that was the first thing that came to my mind whenever tongue was ever mentioned in context of food I haven’t tried it but I would if given the opportunity, along with heart; they’re both muscle so they don’t register the same way to me as organ meat does

Beef heart is delicious, it tastes like a nice tender cut of steak and looks very little like an organ. At least that's my experience when I've had it at Peruvian restaurants.

Jellyfish is great but it really is more of a texture thing, all the flavour comes from the sauce. Usually it's covered in chilies, soy sauce and sesame oil here. Good stuff.

FFT posted:I used to bartend at one. One day someone from out of town and asked for recommendations off the legit Cantonese menu, so he got the spicy fried chicken thing that was always fantastic. He also asked what the "crispy tiny fish" dish was, I told him I had no idea and had never seen it ordered before. It was lightly battered and fried whole tiny fish. Not sure what else I was expecting, but it was alright tbh. How do you keep tiny fish in stock if nobody ever orders them?
