The Thread Title says it all, lets hear it.

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.

My grandma, a few years back, ran over a squirrel. She stopped the car, went and got it, took it home, and had it for lunch.

Plain oatmeal, as in uncooked? Or plain as in boiled in water?

That's probably a pretty healthy, though unappetizing, breakfast.

Do you think hitting the squirrel was an accident?

Dump it from the bag in a bowl, let it soak in the apple juice for a while then eat it. Guess it was the fact he had no teeth had something to do with it

Pickled Herring. I remember my Grandparents and Parents eating it when I was younger. I think I even had it a few times. I look at the stuff now and it just looks and smells wrong.

My Grandad used to cook "haggis tatties and nips", or neeps.
Best I could figure it was sheep innerds cooked in the sheeps stomach, mashed potatos and turnips.

Nasty tasting stuff, I think he brought it over from Scotland.
My opinion is that he should have left it there.

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.

Squirrel brains and eggs was a classic.

My mom still eats buttermilk with cornbread in it. Puts tons of black pepper in it and eats it like a shake or sundae.

The old women (and a lot of the kids back in the day) liked to smoke grape vine and crossvine as well as dip snuff.

I love Southern Arkansas.

This sounds absolutely delicious.
