That's a damn fine pizza, right there.

One of my favorite combinations is pepperoni, onion and anchovy.

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.

One of my wife's grandpas eats nothing but sausage biscuits 90 percrnt of the time. Three times a day every day. Seriously.

Yeah, these days I can only find the canned chicken feet. It's impossible to find them fresh. The canned just aren't the same.

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.

I've seen fresh chicken feet (plus plenty of other weird animal parts) in pretty much every Asian market I've been in.

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.
