A guy I know drinks the melted butter after he eats his shrimp scampi. Tuna water would be tough for me.

Brussel sprouts - yumm. Drop in boiling water for 30 sec, then remove and immediately plunge in cold water, drain, pat dry. Sprouts should be deep green. Then saute with butter, garlic, shallots, and chopped walnuts. Dust with grated cheese.

Cauliflower, prepared similarly.

Home-made sashimi. A block of raw ahi, bought from the local Japanese fish market. Sliced thinly, rinsed with sake, and dipped in salted sesame oil.

Escargots (snails), very yummy. I tried raising my own garden snails for a while, wasn't a big success.

Carrots, boiled in Guiness stout and sugar.

I can also live happily for weeks on Top Ramen. One of my more useful skills.

But no tuna water!

Uh, 1 Yum, 2 Yum, 3 if done well, 4 I dunno, 5 sounds great, 6 hell yeah

I like cartilage and gristle. Like knuckles and the ends of chicken leg bones. No special preparation, just gnaw it off like a dog.

I also like chicken kidneys and livers. In fact, I like all liver, whether sliced and fried, or a mound of chopped liver, Jewish deli-style.

Tripe has been okay eating, in some dim-sum places, but in small quantities only. Unfortunately, when they find that you like tripe, they like to lavish you with heaping platefuls of the stuff.

I like some fish tails, when not too bony and fried up - e.g. trout tails crisp-fried in butter or olive oil.

no no no no no no no no no and hell no.

Well, chicken liver, calves liver, and Braunschweiger are good, but the rest, nononononono.

I'll at least try anything once, while reserving the right to swear off of it for the rest of my life afterwards. For example, I just don't see a scenario where I'd need to try cow brains again - or tripe, chicken hearts or gizards.

On the other hand, I like foie gras enough to nibble on for an appetizer, but it is too rich for me to make a meal out of.

My wife knows my attitude toward most animal parts (why bother eating weird shyte like gizards, hearts, tongue, etc, when there's perfectly good MEAT to eat), and sometimes she toys with me. She's a native Mexican so she's got some pretty traditional recipes up her sleeve - sometimes she'll whip up something with so much chili etc. that the "meat" (actually some adjunct like chopped heart or chicken gizzards) is unrecognizable. The texture and odor always give 'em away though. Mystery meat games...

Yum, chicken liver. While I indulge infrequently there's nothing like chiken livers....rinsed, pat dry and fried with onions, bacon and finished off with a bit of white wine.

A trip to the "john" takes care of what's "in" me. And then you'd be able to put your "finger on it" more easily, if you are into that sort of kinky thing.

Hey, you all don't know what you're missing! I've been drinking that stuff since I was a kid - and I also drink the juice from canned salmon, scrape & eat cooked blood from cooking pans, suck the juice out of crabs & lobsters, & drink left over steak juice from plates, and suck the marrow from some bones. My wife doesn't think it's too cool, but she always saves those things for me.

UconnTim97 07-06-2006 10:21 PM

All tuna juice goes to the cat.... :)

if i were dying of thirst i would drink piss before tune juice. on another note, toss a couple chopped pickles and a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar to a dry can of tuna and you have my favorite sandwich on whole wheat toast

Not into that sort of thing and thats way TMI. I eat "normal" stuff and will leave "putting your finger in it" to you!

david.avery 07-07-2006 04:53 AM

I'll bet you drink the pickle juice too!

}{arlequin 07-07-2006 07:50 AM

ok.... i apparently register over 250% mercury intake on a regular basis.... at least 2-3 tuna servings per week... either sandwich, sashimi, or seared...

when travelling to water places.... mediterranean/chile etc... i live on fish for weeks at a time... they're better there so might as well, right? sure, it's sprinkled w/ some beef in between, but mostly stick to local specialties.

what can i expect of my health.... WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME???? ;)

no, but seriously... what?

and whatever happened to: fish is good for you. lean, phosphorus and all that stuff?

jyl 07-07-2006 07:54 AM

Eat different kinds of fish. Many/most don't have the mercury issue.

If you are exposed to any form of mercury repeatedly or for an extended period, chronic mercury poisoning can result. Health effects include nervous system effects, kidney damage, and birth defects. There are several symptoms:

1. Gingivitis: The gums become soft and spongy, the teeth get loose, sores may develop, and there may be increased salivation.
2. Mood and mental changes: People with chronic mercury poisoning often also have wide mood swings, becoming irritable, frightened, depressed, or excited very quickly for no apparent reason. Such people may become extremely upset at any criticism, lose all self-confidence, and become apathetic. Hallucinations, memory loss, and inability to concentrate can occur.
3. Nerve damage: It may start with a fine tremor (shaking) of the hand, loss of sensitivity in hands and feet, difficulty in walking, or slurred speech. Tremors may also occur in the tongue and eyelids. Eventually this can progress to trouble balancing and walking. It has even caused paralysis and death in rare cases.

Holy crap! Half the PPOTers have have mercury poisoning!
