Okay. You got me there, DAC. American cuisine (it's kinda hard to say that with a straight face) goes above Scottish.

Let's also place it above those people who eat lamb's eyes. Yuck!

Another thing I could never bring myself to try is brains. I actually bought some one time when I was a teenager. (I've always been adventurous.) But I just couldn't do it. I just threw the whole thing out.

Then there are "mountain oysters." No thanks. And kidney; there's still residual urine in those collecting ducts etc.

Yes it would appear the entire English Isles is a food wasteland. England, Scotland, Ireland, the trifecta of bad food. Although Pub food isn't half bad with a nice luke warm pint. Are they finally serving brew cold these days?

When I was a teenager my mother worked at a nice restaurant in Wyoming. I washed dishes. One night, after the place was closed, I was finishing up the kitchen while the staff sat in the bar and chatted. When I was done I joined them at the bar for my evening "Roy Rodgers" and was offered a plate of fried food. After I finished one they laughed and told me what I ate. I put on a good show and casually ate two more.

They tasted like (and had the texture of) chicken gizzards. Not too bad. (My husband would've *loved* them. He has a weakness for gizzards.)
