Back in the day, the bars in central Wisconsin served Wildcat. Basically raw steak that had been ground almost to a paste consistency with some spices. A big hunk would be placed on a plate, surrounded by chopped egg, onions, capers, etc. You took a dollop of Wildcat put it and any toppings on a cracker.

No mad cow or ecoli issues.

Grampa would eat scrambled eggs, English sausage, and mashed potatoes fro breakfast. It was his version of bangers and mash.

I have had BBQ'd dog and monkey on a stick; not bad really. "Course I really like Spam as well. Not cooked mind you. That stuff is nasty.

Another nasty thing I tried was scrapple. Unfortunately for me, that greasy spoon used liver.
