Right, I'm with you, adventurous. I'll try most things, but I'm certainly not running out trying to find tripe to try. I've seen it in the grocery store. It doesn't look gross, but it also doesn't look like something that you'd eat unless you were pretty hungry. I have to assume it was peasant food. I've also never had brains, and they are farther down the list than tripe. I did have tongue (sliced thin) while in the Amazon. It had a good flavor, but I didn't much care for the consistency or something. I grew up eating liver (chicken or calves) which I think is kind of similar. When tongue looks like tongue, that's a pretty major turn-off. I don't know if I've ever eaten heart, but I'd try it. I think even further down the list from brains would be eyeballs and, well, just balls.

WTF do you do with the Paw? That sound interesting and love to have a taste.

I don't think I can get myself to eat live octopus like the Koreans. I wouldn't eat sushi. Tried it and just dislike it

Chicken heart is pretty damn good. I ate it a few t ime as a kid, but I'm sure it high in fat and cholesterol

Some were horrible cooks and I ate as much as an anorexic model and lied my ass off and said it was good, but I was just not feeling hungry.

One lady I dated was Italian and her mom was right out of central casting for an Italian grandmother. She did not speak much English but that lady could cook. She would put something in front of me and say something in Italian and it was always wonderful. I had to resist licking the plate since my mom taught me it was bad table manners. I would weigh 400 pounds if she was my mom.

I had one chick I dated serve me what she called tuna casserole. I am pretty sure it was cat food. It was horrid. It was tough to get a second fork-worth down. Blech.

And yes I dated a lot of different women. I did not get married until I was 38. 22 years of the catch and release program is a lot of fishing in the ocean of women. Only a few relationships got to the meet the relatives stage.

I never cared for tripe at all. I was at a Mexican celebration once where they had deep fried chicken intestines. I didn't eat any and found out the next day several people spent the night throwing up. My mother used to make mince meat pie from hog's head. She'd get a cut in half hog's head from a butcher. She'd scoop the brain out and boil the head up in a huge pot. The meat from the head went into making the mince meat for the pies. She'd make mush in blocks solidified in bread pans. The mush had left over bits of the head meat, along with diced up lips, snout, tongue, & other things I can't remember. She'd feed my dad scrambled brains & eggs for breakfast. I didn't like that. I did love the mush, she made of the juice from cooking the head, for breakfast fried up in slices with maple syrup.
