In the movie “The Great Outdoors”, one raccoon says to the other not to eat hot dogs because they are made from lips and (slang term for) anuses.

Haggis with McIlhaney’s sauce. McIlhaney’s makes anything edible.

My ancestors left Scotland I assume for a good meal...yuk!Well, it might also have been because of the kilts, the telephone pole throwing, and the bagpipes.

I ate haggis in Scotland once. I got better.
Seriously, it was okay. Just don’t think about the ingredients.

Yeah, I’ve read the ingredients on those things. I try not to think about it. My sister calls them “scary meats”.

The reasoning behind the USDAs ban on lungs is generally couched in terms of food safety. Fluidsspecifically, ones that might make you squeamish, including stomach fluidssometimes make their way into the lungs of an animal during the slaughtering process. An 1847 treatise recommends parboiling the lungs to permit the phlegm and blood to disgorge from the[m], one issue the USDA regulations sought to address.That's I always have my haggis with a side-order of phlegm and a blood-chaser.

My friend talks about his Italian grandmother blowing up the lungs like a ballon when she had the grand kids in the kitchen with her cooking suffrite. My friend said the lungs were nice and spongy and really soaked up the tomato sauce.
Years later, after you couldn’t get the lungs in the US anymore, the same friend was on a trip to Italy and he asked the tour guide where was a good place to get suffrite with the lungs. She told him, “We don’t eat lungs here.” LOL. I guess it was just what the poor Italians who came to the states had.

And just what is it that gets cleaned out of pig intestines to make the Amish dish known as “chitlin’s”?
Hint: the smell of chitterlings being cooked will clue you.

In some countries, some foods, especially ‘ethnic’ foods, are considered ‘poor peoples food’, and it is a social faux pas to even mention them................

I’ll probably welcome them for shortening my time in the insanity now enveloping the world. That happens when you age and have lived a full life I guess.
