FOOD FIGHT!!!! (not for the faint-hearted)

[cloudy]

A few of us did this the other day in one of the UK threads, and although it was gross, it was also fun.

Post a picture of some sort of nasty-looking food. The catch is you have to tell what it is. I'll start.

This photo of a Mystery Meal was obtained from a online journal about an outdoor concert where Jethro Tull was the main attraction.

The Author can describe it so much better than I.

“ . . . The carnivores head off to buy some raw meat for tea and come back with, what looks like, the squiggly bits that come out of rabbits when you run them over. Only a sort of greyish brown colour. Very appetising. I don't know what it was, nor do I want to, but it made Paddy's eyes turn bright red and water. Is food meant to do that? . . . ”

Tripe is a main ingredient in menudo, a fave Mexican soup. Most yanguis can't stomach it, pun intended. The pic is honeycomb tripe, yummocito. P.

http://chichissalsa.com/images/glossary/t/tripe.jpg

Tripe - The edible lining of either of the two stomachs found in beef cattle. The lining from the first stomach, known as the omasum (also spelled omassum), is referred to as smooth or flat tripe. The lining from the second stomach, known as abomasum is called honeycomb or pocket tripe, because of its honeycomb pattern, and is the most popular of the two. Tripe can be cooked as is and served as a main dish or it can be added to casseroles and stews, such as the Mexican menudo. Tripe is very tough, so it is generally slow cooked for long periods to help tenderize it. The stomach linings of pigs and sheep are also known as tripe, but beef tripe is the most popular.

Hey, that was my Avatar, last year! I was asked politely to remove it by everybody. Even tolyk, who was shoving his cock in our faces at the time.

I've been trying to find a picture, without success..........so here's a recipe from the Isle of Man.

From a late 18th century cookbook,

Written by the wife of one of the island's gentry.


Take two large hoggs heads, after well cleaned.

Salt them for at least a fortnight with saltpetre and plain salt, turning them every third day. Then have a pott of water boiling and put them in, and boil them till you can get out the bones.

Have four large cow heels ready boned and boiled and well cleaned, for you must take great care that there is no hair on them or your heads.

Then spread one of your heads on a table with the skin side down and the flesh side up, then roll it in a tight collar with a broad tape.

Have a pott full of your brawn liquor ready boiling, put in your collar and boil it for at least two hours. Then take it up and tighten your tape and set it on end with a weight at top till cold.

Skim your liquor and when both that and your collar are cold, put them in an English Crock and cover it.​

I remember that, I thought it was an early Pollack. Now Tolyk's dick, that was art.

Sub - anyone who goes to jellied eels is both sick and insane (please feel free to take this as a compliment) and thus has no right to comment on the merits of deep-fried mars bars


Mat - that's a good old fashioned recipe for a current Scottish delicasy (oops) - and I suspect celtic/norse - known in these parts as "Potted heid".


Vella - you will of course eat what your told - if you know what's good for you (non-pregnant or not) . We go to alllll that trouble to hunt the little buggers and you go and put marshmallow on them?

This is from James Lileks' website (www.lileks.com), which I recommend to all - particularly for the immense collection of regrettable food pictures. Frighteningly enough, this came from a cookbook meant to encourage the consumption of this dish:


http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/meat/spewpuke.jpg

Lileks' comments:

Apologies. Really. There are many meals in the Gallery I've described in terms of inadvertant stomach evacuations, but this is perhaps the most vomitous dish I have ever seen. Just Rupe 'n' Heat!
What were they thinking? Didn't anyone remark how much this looks like a skillet full of spew? I'd suggest that this entire book was made by vegetarians, a sly piece of propaganda, but even the beans look awful.

My best guess is some sort of ham or gammon roast submerged in beans, cheese, and phlegm.

Apologies. I was working out how to link the image. Thank goodness I was saved by the house Computer Person.
