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.

Sounds like pate. I'd probably like it.

I assumed you were supposed to drink buttermilk straight. What else would you do with it? Or is it supposed to be just for cooking?

My grandpa drank buttermilk. I assumed it was no different than drinking milk.

Have you ever drank it? Its pretty gross. Then again, I think Egg Nog is gross.

But Buttermilk is used in a lot of different recipes.

Nah. I thought it looked weird and wouldn't drink it as a kid, and then have never bought it for anything as an adult. I probably should try it just to see what it is. Like you, I'm not an egg nog person, either, and really don't like milk that much, so I don't anticipate an epiphany. I pretty much only drink milk if it's chocolate.

I've known Mexicans, Asians and Italians to enjoy tripe. I guess it's well liked outside the continental US.

Whatever it is...it looks incredibly disgusting.

Isn't it like stomach lining?

My grandpa loves tripe, liver, kidneys, brains etc...

I believe that's exactly what it is. My stepdad boils it in water with some vinegar and a I think oregano. It doesn't smell any better than it looks. Then he seasons with lemon, oil and s&p.

Tripe is also the "meat" in menudo.

The wife's grandfather ate plain oatmeal with apple juice poured over it, a slice of toast, and a piece of salt fish every day for breakfast.
