Poison. Poison. Tasty fish.
The craziest thing about fugo is that many Japanese think it is perfectly prepared when there is still enough neurotoxin to make your lips and tongue just a little numb.

It is part of their national dish so maybe!
Heart and liver is good eating.

Twinkies should be banned as they have no nutritive value. Hostess stuff is still sold here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
I see an experiment coming up. (Can’t be worse than absinthe).
I’ll bet it’s damn expensive, though...
I had haggis a couple weeks ago at a dinner commemorating the birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns. I love it.
Was your version stomach, or lung?
All kinds of drinks they call “Absinthe” are on the market, but none contain the ingredient thujone found in wormwood, which is included in the original recipe for absinthe.
>>Kinder Surprise Eggs can be found at Walgreen’s. My grandson gets them.
Those are the later iterations made to comply with the import ban. The original Kinder eggs had a chocolate shell (white inner layer, milk chocolate outer layer, with a plastic container inside that held the toy. Those are the ones that are still banned in the U.S.
If we took the bones out, it wouldn’t be crunchy, would it?
Apparently frying it is the way to go. It looks pretty gross when it comes out of the can. It reminded me of dog food.
It reminds me of Spam, the state meat of Hawaii.
There goes the sofritto. Friend of mine remembers the fun of helping his very Italian grandma in the kitchen. She would entrain him by pulling on the tendon in chicken feet and blowing up the lungs. He claims the lungs are nice and spongey and really soak up the sauce.
He was amazed to find that in tally, they don't eat the lungs.
I don't know--and din't ask. But the whiskey with which you wash it down should pickle any bad bugs.
The cake we bought had it in the cake. Local bakery, I believe. There is a prominent warning on the package.
I suspect that a lot of food tastes good until you learn what is in it.
I don’t know whether the ‘whiskey’ or the poetry would better assuage my concerns :-)

The haggis served at Burns dinners doesn't come out of a can--it's the real thing, wrapped in a sheep's stomach. It is carried into the dining room on a platter. In front of and behind the carrier are men armed with swords and the profession is led by a bagpiper. When they reach the podium, a spokesman reads Robert Burns' "Ode to a Haggis," which argues the case that haggis is health food. Then the members of the profession drink a toast with whiskey and sample the haggis, which is then distributed among the diners.
I once attended a Burns dinner that had a few no-shows, so there was extra haggis, and the cook who made it allowed me to take two haggises home.
You can add Pop Tarts to your list.
Yep. Horse meat is less than desirable. I can’t imagine it tasting good no matter the preparation.
