That definitely fits the topic!

@JenBeberstein I was just a kid. It was gross & upset me a lot as I was just hanging out with it, a long shelled variety. Wasn't looking & just put something in my mouth. shudder.

@Qualia that sounds very traumatic!

That is not a combination I would have intentionally tasted but I can see how it might work.

Does the person making the stuffing know you're vegetarian? Stuffing can be quite tasty made with vegetable stock!

@JenBeberstein No, it's at an extended family members' property, and I don't speak to them at all outside of Thanksgiving lunch.

@joeymf86 maybe you should offer to bring the stuffing next year!

@JenBeberstein Screw that. I'm bringing it this year! haha

@joeymf86 an even better plan!

Did he say anything about how it tasted?

@JenBeberstein He loved it! He had never had any kind of liver before.

Strange good or strange bad?

@JenBeberstein it tasted like a cross between beef and dirt. Everybody knows how strange I am when it comes to meat. So everybody got a good laugh at it.

@Kojaksmom that doesn't sounds appealing at all!

Nobody has ever fed you something without disclosing what the ingredients were?

@JenBeberstein nope! hmm, i wonder why?

g

@genessa I'd say that's a good thing. Some people in this thread have been fed some pretty disgusting things.

wait, wait, i just thought of ONE time! it wasn't given to me. i bought it. i was in japan, where i lived at the time. i got something in the fish section that looked odd and i asked someone what it was, and they said fish, so i got it. as soon as i ate it, i knew it wasn't fish. it tasted like meat. i was afraid i knew then what it was, so i saved the label off the wrapper and asked a friend. sure enough i'd eaten whale. i hadn't meant to, and i wouldn't, again. it was tasty but i just didn't want to eat whale, and whales certainly are not fish. i'd forgotten about that.

Did you like them?

@JenBeberstein tasted like chicken, lol

I would be pretty upset if my friends fed me cat food!

I have never had a coconut pie. It doesn't sound like something I would enjoy.

@JenBeberstein I still don't like coconut.

@EdEarl understandable!

That is something I am glad to say I have never experienced!

That would make me terrified to ever eat anything I didn't prepare for myself!

@JenBeberstein it sucks overall but most restaurants are really good at listing their gluten free options & avoid cross contamination. This restaurant is no longer on my "approved" list. I try not to be "that person" & make sure I look at the menu online before arrival & be prepared. My friends are a lot more militant than I am about whats on my plate when we're out. Dining out doesnt happen often for me (maybe once a month) so getting into gluten when I do sucks gawd awful.

Your neighbor lady must have been a better cook than my parents! When they cooked tongue, it was rubbery and nasty!

@JenBeberstein funny thing was, she wasn't a great cook, but for some reason, the sandwiches were very tasty. It was probably because she was a very bright lady and I was usually listening to whatever she was saying at the time and didn't pay a lot of attention to what I was chewing on.

@Condor5 that makes sense, mood can definitely affect flavor.

Did you contact the food company about it?

@JenBeberstein NO. Too much of that going on then anyway and they might think it was fake and maybe I wanted money.

Omaha is one of the last places I would expect to be served a surprise vegetarian burger! I have never eaten a raw egg and there is nothing appealing about the thought of doing so.

My parents ate tongue when I was a child, totally grossed me out both by thought and by taste/texture.

LOVE tongue. Not a fan of chicken feet, too much work. But love the heart too

I love tongue, hard to find in the store.

How did they taste?

@JenBeberstein like tough steak. Its all in how they're prepared.

@jamessmithwick I would try them given the chance.

@JenBeberstein that's the spirit!

What did you think of it?

@JenBeberstein it was tough... also I am sitting right here! ?

@BBeberstein sorry love, didn't see you there!

I make beef heart bait for my dogs in a pressure cooker. It's kind of wonderful when it first comes out of the pot, all tender but slightly chewy, but boy do I catch hell for making it due to the odor.

@Qualia I bet your pups are so thankful!

@JenBeberstein of course they love it & it makes GREAT handy, tearable bait.
Really better for them raw however for the taurine content but must be used sparingly or there will be...consequences. lol

@Qualia messy consequences?

@JenBeberstein can give them cannon butt

@Qualia thank you for explaining! I will tread carefully!

Do you remember any of those meals?

@JenBeberstein yes especially the cat when I was a little boy we lived over by Spokane and once a week we'd go to this restaurants all you can eat chow mein for a dollar night.about a year after I moved over here my father brought over a newspaper clipping that restaurant had been closed because they found cat carcasses in the walk-in and Cat in entrails in the garbage it explains why the chow mein was so cheap and it wasn't just once we went there many times

@JenBeberstein oh by the way cat tastes just like chicken

@Drsmash253 I have heard that but have never experienced it!

@Drsmash253 I always thought the stories of Chinese restaurants collecting the stray cats were urban legends!

@JenBeberstein unfortunately no

That sounds horrible!

@JenBeberstein It was a shock, for sure. ?

EWWWWW!!!!!
