In an attempt to find some additional information about Mr. Fire Me Boy!'s odd recipes, I ran across a web site that features some really weird food. Ironically, the url thing for the web site place is http://www.weird-food.com.
Some of the items include;
1) Cock's Combs (the wattly stuff on a rooster's head): A classic Tuscan dish.
2) Squirrel Brains: The head is cooked with the rest of the body, then, using your fingers and a fork, you crack the skull open and dig the brain out.
3) Seal Flipper Pie: Prepared Newfoundland style. Here's the recipe ...
4 Seal flippers
1/2 Cup diced pork fat
1 tsp flour
cold water
2 onions, chopped
1 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp worcester sauce
Soak flippers in water and soda for 1/2 an hour. Trim excess fat. Dip the flippers in seasoned flour and pan fry in the pork fat until browned. Add the chopped onion. Make a gravy of flour, 1 cup water, and Worcester sauce. Pour over the flippers. Cover and Bake in a moderate oven (350f) until tender ... which should be two to three hours. Cover with pastry and bake at 400f for 1/2 an hour.
4) Tacos sesos: Tacos made with cow brains.
5) Nankotsu: Chicken cartilage. It's either eaten fried, or on a shish kabob.
6) Clay: In Georgia & Alabama, in the Southeastern United States, there are rural, generally poor, pockets where eating a particular type of chalky, white clay called "kaolin" is common.
I'm just wondering, if you had to choose between these dishes, which would you prefer? And, no, Mr. Redrum_69, my mom is not like a Seal Flipper Pie.
