Foreign food that scares me...

[Aliantha]

I'm really surprised at the number of people that don't like brains and also liver. Both are yum if they're cooked correctly. Same with tongue. My mum used to get calf tongues and press them with aspic. Then we'd have them on sandwiches. I used to like having it all by itself though.

We have a lot of asian style food here at home including Sushi.

The food that scares me most is all the processed stuff you get. Really, if you're going to be worried about what something is doing to you, it's all that crap they put in the box.

I've eaten the lungs from a roast chicken and turkey. Kind of a musty taste.

Maybe they were smokers.

I think I've worked out where you're going wrong - you're not supposed to eat the box.

Good sausages still have natural sausage casings (ie intestines).
I'm not mad on haggis - too crumbly and balnd and blah for me - but honestly it doesn't taste like anything grim. Then again, I grew up on cheap minced meat pies, and heavens only knows what they cut those with...

Zip I don't think you're having liver which has been cooked or prepared properly. Mum used to soak it in milk and pan fry it with bacon and onions and it was heavenly. If I was faced with a large slab of it, it might put me off too. We used to have offal at least once a week because it was a cheap form of protein. Liver was the most agreeable to me - one of the few foods that were ever fried in our house - because Mum would usually make a chocolate based dessert. I think she saw it as an iron rich meal - I've always associated the two anyway.
