Alwin Alcott Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 meat from organs is often frowned upon .. and sometimes difficult to get unless there's a real butcher nearby. I remember quite well liver, kidney and udder was on the menu quite regulary at my grandparents kitchen. ( and home made hogshead cheese, here mostly named "zult" (i'll spare the other name, it's used for something totally different now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US you can't get real haggis due to the FDA forbidding the use of lungs in foods (which I suppose a local butcher might ignore, but industrially produced and canned haggis would have to do without). In Sweden there are two similar dishes, lungmos (lit. 'lung-mash') and the more popular variant which is lungmos with barley, called pölsa. I guess that means you can't have proper pölsa in the US either, come to think of it .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelindaN Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If you want to sample the haggis and black pudding of kings, artisan butchers in Stornoway in the NW of Scotland do mail order. McCleod I recall...an island clan. Its astonishing. Tuna steaks kissing the pan both sides on the way to my plate are also outstanding. Done right, the sides show three stripes, just done top and bottom, almost raw in the middle. Fantastic. My favourite delicacy though is fish finger sandwiches on wholemeal bread with tomato relish, and a bit of side salad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 One thing that a lot of people think is gross but is really good is deer heart.. I'll put it in a batter with some cornbread mix and cook it in olive oil.. The cornbread mix gives it a nice sweetness that blends well with the taste of the meat.. It's really high in protein.. If anyone likes chicken gizzards, they'll probably like it.. I know every time we get a deer my boys are always asking when are we having deer heart.. hehehe I caught them one time trying to get things ready because they seen I was getting some ready to freeze.. They thought it was gonna be for dinner that night.. it still had to soak.. They fight over deer heart.. hehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clan name is everywhere around Lewis&Harris. If you've never got to Skye, we got there a couple of years ago, and it lives up to the reputation of desolate beauty.

It truly does! I was there 5 years ago -- stayed in a lovely B&B on the west coast for a week while hiking around. It's a beautiful, peaceful part of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukubia Scarmon Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I'll have a hard time eating anything that I'd consider rotten (Like the maggot-cheese or Surströmmling). I'll not eat insects unless they're finely ground, lol. - I've had some pasta that was partially made with ground worms. Tasted like regular pasta - but I'm scared of insects, especially spiders, so that's a nono for me. I won't eat cat or dog, unlike my guy, lol.

Then how about shrimp? No, insects are not crustaceans. Insects and crustaceans are in different classes, although both are arthropods. Shrimp and lobsters are on my "No Way In Hell" list. Spiders (which are neither insects nor crustaceans) are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
