Things you have eaten before but never again

Hominy and Brussel Sprouts

Oops, I messed up. I shouldn't count Brussels sprouts because I never actually swallowed any. lol

Most people dont prepare them correctly. You have to peel off the outer layer of leaves (reduces bitterness) and put a couple of cuts into the base of the stem (otherwise is too hard).

Dog. Was completely UNAWARE that I was trying it. Was over in China on business and my co-workers decided to do a 'taste test' with me since it was my first time being there. Upon learning what I had just eaten, I immediately pulled the trigger to rid myself of this 'delicacy'. When I returned home, I walked in the door and immediately knew that I was on the proverbial 'poop list' by the look on my dog's face. I spent the next month spoiling here with whatever she wanted, took her on daily walks and allowed her to sleep on the bed. Lesson learned.

The Pimento cheese with jalapenos in it is pretty good.

That and celery is a pretty good snack..

That's another one of those foods that can be tolerated if it tastes like the condiments instead of itsself.

Yuck!

Get some cream cheese, fresh jalapeño and bacon. Wrap the dove breasts in some of the cheese and 1/4 slice of jalapeño with the bacon. Grill over coals and enjoy.

Basically, hide the taste of dove.

Boiled sheep's head - a ritualistic delicacy enjoyed by the ethnic Kazakhs in Kazakhstan.

Actually, I really don't remember the taste as I had deadened my senses with copious amounts of vodka.

Is what you call lake trout the same as arctic char?

It is a char but distinct from an arctic char.

Ok, was going to say that arctic char is delicious! But, I am still puzzled on how lake trout and salmon are in the same body of water(lake) in Vermont.....

 

[Vtwin]

Wait......lake trout in the same places as salmon? I thought salmon were river fish?

These are landlock atlantic salmon. They will run up the rivers during spawning season but they spend the majority of the year in the lake in their preferred temperature zone, as do the lakers. They both will be in the same areas in the spring when the water temp is pretty much uniform throughout the lake.

At one time Champlain was open to the north atlantic. Sea run salmon were cutoff from the sea when the water began to recede.

It is not a food but I tried Diet Coke once. That was one time too many.

Okay, I thought you were telling me a fish tale!
