Anything intriguing so far?

I don’t think it is disgusting but my family does……pickled herring.
I also love Limburger cheese.
Trying to find lutefisk to try but that is proving impossible in Alabama

Powerful aromas.

Do those taste like they smell?

 

[OrangeTsar]

Not really. But maybe my sense of smell is just used to them

Is there any place in Knoxville that preps calf fries?

No but we do have a good French place that serves decent escargot.

Next time you're here, go to Lilou and tell the bartender that Hayden sent you. He'll get the good snails for ya.

Waffle House? Whose ass did you kick? Fingers crossed it was @hog88 for telling me I was wrong when I was in fact correct.

This trip was no business, just pleasure Weezy. I know I have the low standards of my white trash beginnings, but to me the ole House is top shelf cuisine. I have tried to mimic their hashbrowns at home from both frozen and the Betty Crocker dehydrated stock...it can't be done. They're like McDonalds fries. Mmmmm. Once the Bidenomics pushed a combo from the fast food joints into the $11- $13 range they now cost...WH become not only objectively higher quality food but the same price or in some cases cheaper as well. So I eat there 2 or 3 times a week now.

Hog is due for a major comeuppance.

Its a mighty long time until we observe our traditional feats of strength and airing of grievances. If you need to vent, i will save you a seat on the good guys booth at the 'House. Never, ever sit with your back to the door at a WH. Haha. Or anywhere else if you can help it.

I had some truly disgusting blood sausage down in Buenos Aires. I didn't know what it was until it was too late.

It's weird. Essentially you're eating a baby duck without the bones. But nothing is really formed so you're not chewing meat as you'd imagine. From what I remember, and yes I was drunk, it really didn't have much of a strong flavor or taste of any kind. The locals love it and slurp it down.

Wtf is wrong with people? I have never been that hungry. Ever.

Just stop.

Ban this guy.

It made my stomach queazy for a sec. Ewww

That's funny. I have to know - how are pig nipples prepared?

Confit, which is strange.

Fat cooked in fat. I have a picture that went viral on reddit of how it was served. Allow me a moment to dig through my phone.

Keep your head up GV
Something coming your way. Try to enjoy the extra freetime in this brief transition as well.

It was horrifically served on an upside down porcelain pig, and with two flutes filled with warm broth to wash it down.

The taste was essentially salted pork fat. Nothing crazy, but for 8 euro the story was more than worth it.

Keep your powder dry. Seems like a full thread in the Pub is imminent.

Follow-up question - did you order this with knowledge of what it was? In my case with the blood sausage, my business associate from Argentina was ordering for our group, so I had no idea what it was. Everything else down there was really good.

All I can say is wow. Something else.

I have to do that. Still want come by your place. Haven't forgotten about it.

I speak enough Spanish so as a lover of pork, I had to ask them what the word for "nipple" was when they zipped it by me.

Just let me know! Do it here because I never check that email.
