Are you adventurous with food?

I think one of the worst foods imaginable is Andouillette - sort of sausages filled with pigs intestines! They say the French can only eat them because of all the mustard they cover them in to mask the smell!
I love prawns but cannot bring myself to eat oysters because they are eaten raw. I eat mussels very occasionally. I eat pâté but now very rarely do I eat any other sort of offal or things such as trotters etc. I must confess to liking my meat to look like a piece of meat - love duck either as it is or as Confit.
Just had steak on the barbecue - first one of the season.
I love Moroccan tangines and Lebanese simple food. Am unable to have curry often now as it causes digestive problems. I also adore reading cookery books!

Depends what you mean by adventurous. From this thread it seems to mean do you eat all the bits of an animal. In which case the answer is no. Am I adventurous with other food? Erm, let me see, no not really, a bit boring actually

Galen ,

We love kidney and we eat pigs kidneys fried with onions and soured with a spoonful of wine vinegar. it is a German recipie. Cheap and delicious and a portion for the cat as well all for 2 Euros, ready sliced. Available on Tuesdays.
nanaej if you like Lebanese food or foods from the Middle East then you will be getting offal as well. They use all the animal. They can't afford not to.

Now that I would try!

MrBags made a small amount of Inuit-style pemmican today. He used venison instead of caribou. And he ate it all! He's going to make some more and I will get a taste.

He says it's very more-ish.

It's dried raw meat ground up mixed with meat fat (beef fat in our case, but it would have been caribou fat). Some groups of Inuit lived on virtually nothing else when hunting was thin.

Who else has eaten, or would eat, real pemmican?

Nonu I'm with you on that choice of food! I love sweetbreads but can rarely get them. Liver, kidneys, heart, lobster, prawns, oysters, bring them on please!

I'd love to start trying different kinds of food but I'd have to pay for it as I'm a lousy cook. But, when it comes to my own diet I will eat the same food every day for ages till I tire of it and then move on. At the moment I'm eating tinned sardines in tomato every day [the dog has the tomato juice on her dried food and she loves it]. I have been known to eat porridge for a week. I sometimes see an interesting recipe but part way down is always a difficult to get ingredient. I want to try sushi.

No, I am not adventurous with food.

I love offal , shellfish , specially oysters , and tinned fish , in fact I have that every day for lunch .

In fact there is very , very little I do not like .

I don't eat offal, shellfish or tinned fish! I will try most other things though. I have tried mussels but did not think much of them! Liver & kidney texture puts me off more than flavour, though I am not keen! Tripe and other animal bits do not appeal. Visually I find them unattractive!

I like thoughtfully spiced and flavoured food.... not so hot that you cannot taste the food under the spice!

My favourite food is middle eastern usually found in Lebanese retaurants but there are a few good Turkish/ Iraqi/Iranian/Morrocan places that do delicious grub. Now I am feeling peckish

Have you seen what I said about you on the "cinnamon" thread? You've conformed it!
