You know, I've dined on a lot of odd things (to a garden-variety Yank, anyway), but I don't think I'm ever likely to try those. It's just too personal.

Re: What are these?
That reminds me of a text I sent some friends recently on receiving good news from them - it was a picture entitled 'now that's the dogs bollox' with my hairy mut being the model. He does make me feel inadequate at times - just 36 kilos of wirehaired pointer with a pair of duck eggs swingin cold and free. Hardy and impressive - shame I stop him putting them to use anywhere. Won't show the picture here - there may be a few county laws I'd be breaking in your country. Anyway I digress...Nanohedron wrote:No, I don't mind.

Re: What are these?
Beef mountain oysters are dandy. Breaded and fried, just like various shellfish are done. As long as the critter is young, they are palatable and mildly flavored. You don't want 'em later.Nanohedron wrote:You know, I've dined on a lot of odd things (to a garden-variety Yank, anyway), but I don't think I'm ever likely to try those. It's just too personal.
But what really, really, really, really, (did I mention really?) grossed me out was watching Andrew Zimmern, of Bizarre Foods, eat RAW pig testes somewhere in Asia. It was so wrong on so many bacterial and viral levels.... He lived to gorge another day though. I keep expecting to read an obit on that guy, I swear.
How do you prepare for the end of the world?

Wow, thank you. I have heard that horse chestnuts are poisonous. So I guess I won't feed them to my bird.

Re: What are these?
Denny, I'm disappointed. 
Three pages and no real horse chestnut-
or a chestnut horse- or maybe you prefer sorrell...
Anyway, these are what we call buckeyes in these hills-
Yellow Buckeye-Hippocastanaceae Aesculus flava Aiton
All I know about them was that my granddaddy always told me that they were poisonous but that only part of them were- that squirrels knew which part they could eat and which they better not. Boys use to bring pockets full of them to school and pelt each other with them during recess.

Yep. Those are the kind I threw at my brother (and he threw right back) when we were growing up in northeast TN. I heard the same tale about them being part poisonous/part safe and the squirrels knowing which part was which.cowtime wrote:Anyway, these are what we call buckeyes in these hills-
