After reading the other posts, mine seem pretty tame. I love saurkraut and beets. For some reason, not many people I know can stomach beets. It was great when I was in the Navy and underway when they served beets. I'd swear that out of 5,000 people, there were only 5 of us that liked em, so we got all we wanted. YUM!!!

Oh, tripe soup. I made that last month. My fiance complained that it made the house smell. I thought it smelled pleasant enough, but the tripe was devine, or should I say bovine.

MMMM, beets. My mom used to make the best pickled beets, now my sister is making them. My wife likes them too, but she'd always eaten the canned sliced kind until she tried Mom's, now she won't eat any but the home-canned ones.

She thinks I'm weird because for New Years dinner we have pork and sauerkraut with hotdogs thrown in. She loves all three but doesn't know why the hotdogs. (I don't know either, it's just what we do.) She has to have blackeyed peas and rice for New Years. Yuck.

Here are a few things I've eaten that's considered exotic to most Americans:

1. snake
2. donkey meat
3. pork blood (like jello)
4. stomach (beef and pork)
5. heart (pork)
6. goose
7. sea cucumber
8. turtle meat (in soup)
9 shark's fin (in soup)
10. pigeon
11. rabbit
12. those big insects that live on trees and make loud noise on a hot sunny noon. Me and a few friends always climbs trees the catch them and then burn them with a matchstick for a few seconds. Then break it open and eat the meat. Very smoky and tasty.

I will try anything once and usually like everything I have tried. I had raw eel in Denmark once and found it tasty but a bit chewy. Sushi and boiled green soy beans are a favorite. I get them in New York City when visiting my daughter. I had a hot Tibetan tea made with butter once that I can't say I would order again. Kim Chi is not my favorite either! I love pickled beets. Also like grilled peanut butter and tomato sandwiches (as long as the tomatoes are fresh garden tomatoes!)
