Hangry Question Time!
What is the weirdest food you've ever eaten?
My father had some weirdness about him and told us kids if we would eat pickled pigs feet he would give each of us $.50. That was big money for a kid in the fifties. First and only time.
@JAWG What was it like?
@RickiTarr
Well I'll say that anything gelatinous makes me gag. Lol
I may have held my nose and quickly swallowed. My father didn't lay down any rules beforehand, but, that it had to go down.
@JAWG @RickiTarr Pickled pig's feet in Bavaria (Surhaxe) is really good. A whole pig's foot pickled until it becomes kind of like ham. Served with Sauerkraut. very tasty.
@rrb @RickiTarr
I dig the sauerkraut part. Lately I've taken to sauerkraut, pickled beets and cottage cheese for breakfast. As for the pigs feet it's just one of those things.
@JAWG @rrb @RickiTarr oh, sauerkraut! where I grew we had fermented cabbage cold and crunchy(sometimes with carrots, or cranberries, or bell pepper, or sour apples). When I first came to Germany and tried actual sauerkraut: cooked, soft and served warm - it seemed the weirdest thing to me. It seems, totally new products often feel rather exotic, but what often feels actually weird is a familiar product with some twist, some shift in taste paradigm
Like when you have sweet (salty) popcorn after you have always had popcorn with salt (sugar).
It is the shock of the familiar made strange.
