    Which Cookbooks DON'T You Use & Why?

    in Cookbooks & References

    Posted

    Unmentionable Cuisine by Calvin W. Schwabe.

    Great reading but entirely off limits!  Squirrel Ravioli... Deep Fried Calves Eyes...

    You get the picture. :blink:

    Okay, I have to know.................. what exactly are those things being peeled by the woman and girl in the picture for this link? They appear to be, umm, male in origin. And the way the little girl is holding her peeled object as well as what it appears to be is a bit disturbing. :unsure:

    Having said that, I think I really must buy this book! :laugh:

    Wackiest thing you've ever eaten

    Im bringing this thread back to life..

    Weirdest thing I ever ate?

    Deer heart 45 seconds after I shot it. I may as well have ate a block of soft iron. VILE. My father is very good with a knife..and very stupid when it comes to the machoness of hunting. I was 16..what did I know?

    Well I knew it tasted like a blood clot..

    Well, I guess this is as good a place to finally delurk as any. I'm a brand new eGulletteer and a little nervous since this is my first post, so bear with me. Most of the oddest things that I can think of are my own creations or just part of what I grew up with:

    Some of my creations that I still like :wub:

    - Sharp Cheddar Cheese and Chocolate Chip Cookie "Sandwich" (I put a slice of sharp cheddar between two chocolate chip cookies

    - Same as above, but substitute cream cheese for cheddar cheese

    - Potato Chip and Bologna Sandwiches with Mayo; cheese optional on white or potato bread

    - Sliced Hot Dogs in Campbell's Alphabet Vegetable Soup

    Things I used to like as a kid, but probably or definitely would not like now :shock:

    - Vienna Sausages -- had an attack of nostalgia one day, went to the grocery store to buy them, and.......................... I couldn't spit it out fast enough

    - Canned pasta - Chef Boyardee, etc.

    - Raw Butter

    - Raw Breakfast Sausage

    Things I used to like as a kid and probably or definitely still do :wink:

    - Pickled Pigs Feet

    - Pork Pudding

    - Chicken Feet, South Carolina Style

    - Chitterlings/Chitlin's and Maws

    - Hot Milk with honey, nutmeg and vanilla

    - Whip 'n' Chill Dessert Mix

    I promise that I actually do have more adult tastes: sushi, foie gras (only recently discovered), Ethiopian food, Middle Eastern food, etc.

    That's it for now. Oh, by the way, I will always be eternally grateful to the Washington Post where I first learned about this wonderful forum.
