We out west are spoiled
My grandson is a very picky eater, trying to get him to eat wholesome, delicious food is akin to eating meat with hair on it. It's maddening. I guess I fall in the same category when it comes to eating unknown foods. I have a better chance of eating it if you don't tell me what it is.
There's a psychology behind the inability to eat foods with certain names. If you place food in front of me having the word horse or cat meat in it, chances are I will gag. I'm watching an English series called Poirot about a Belgium detective in the late 1930's. He's mentioned a particular food in several of the episodes by the name of "spotted dick". (I wince.) Usually, it's referred to as a treat but there's always a peculiar look on the faces when it's mentioned. What in the world is "spotted dick?" It sounds like an inside joke or a unique part of the animal served for special occasions. Have you eaten this before? (Yes, I've lived a sheltered life.)

Would you eat this? $1 Ribeye steak!!!
Ok, PruistS foodies, would you try this out? -MW from ABC Eyewitness News: THE DOLLAR TREE NOW SELLS RIBEYE STEAKS "HOUSTON -- Ribeye steaks for sale at the Dollar Tree? It sounds to be good to be true, but the store's latest craze has the Internet sizzli...
The price of meat is getting ridiculous
That is, ridiculously cheap. There is no way on earth one should be able to grow and animal and bring it to the marketplace for the prices that end consumers are paying. Obviously, the only way that it is, in fact, possible is through significant subsidis...
re: ridiculous
It's 3.5 ounces for this stuff so it makes it approximately $4.5/lb. The store selling these are not known for quality so I think I would pass on this. When I read the article, I immediately thought of this clip from the movie Robocop (the original not th...
No way.
When McD opened its first store by our house in 1972 my father walked in, read the menu and said to himself "No way would I eat a 29 cent hamburger" and walked out. JerryW
LOL!!! How about this...
At Joe's Seafood, Caesars Palace The Forum Shops: It was delicious but the highlight was the seafood, let me know if you want to see more pics! -MW ...
If there's nothing else to eat ...
.. i'd eat it ... since i'm always hungry ;-) ... a plus would be if i knew my doctor was in the neighborhood as well ... Bim
I would go out of my way to buy these even if they were free.
If I were invited to dine with someone I trust and found it was part of the meal... I would be gracious and not make a big deal over it. Other than that, no. Such prepackaged meats have too many preservatives. Helen
Correction *******I Wouldn't go out of my way.....*******
Some good articles on processed meats.
Processed food generally is awful
When the siren call of junk food does call and I give in, which I do with unfortunate regularity, I typically feel atrocious afterwards. The main problem with all of this, however, as I see it, is that it can also be difficult to discuss the subject of pr...

re: catch
I still don't know what that means. =( It's a link to some unusual food items that I came across on a trip to China. -MW
When I was a child
If I was curious about something and asked my mom what it was, if she didn't want to tell me or didn't want me to fool with it, she would simply tell me, "It's a trap to catch meddlers." That was warning enough for me. This was a common phrase used by adu...
thanks for the detailed explanation!
The link contains edible insects and other things. IMO it's interesting to see but has that gross factor that some might freak out over. It might be cool for you to look at as it shows perspective of how people in various places around the world see what ...
Fear Factor
Ming, What a fabulous trip and great photojournalism. Do you think too many cultures have become westernized? I hope I never become westernized... I love to eat bugs. And when I order, I like them fresh boiled, at least five lbs + with dipping sauce, saus...
Sort of a suet and raisin pudding
Not one that I've actually tried, though it sounds pleasant enough. There are simply too many jokes that could be made about the name of it.
Is this eaten across Europe?
Fat associated with seafood in crabs, crawfish, lobster and oyster has a lovely taste. Does suet taste good or is it more of a thickening, congealing agent? I see it's used in Christmas pie, steak and kidney pudding and haggis, also. Helen
Calories
No flavour to it as such, but it does serve its purpose for the like likes of pastry for steak pies, where butter might impart too rich a flavour.
Lard
Now I understand, it's used as a lard somewhat like Crisco Shortening. Not long ago I purchased a beautiful rump roast from the Neighborhood XXX store... (I won't mention the store's name). When I took it out of the package, it had a one-inch thick slab o...
not sure but...
Hello geross, I have not tried it but it doesn't look very appetizing LOL! Do you like steak? What kind of cut of beef do you enjoy most? -MW
Rib eyes fine.
Go for porterhouse and tenderloin cut. Its nice if its medium cooked. Its gotta have some juice to it. Bon apetit mw. Cheers Geross
