    You'd have to wonder what size balls were on the first guy who decided to eat it. He must have been starving...
    I suspect that most "culinary delights" were simply food found when people were starving. After all, it is believed that aged whiskey was develpoed simply by someone finding a lost bottle and found it tasted better after time.

    Thought you were adventurous! It actually quite nice, tender and has a lovely flavor. Never noticed it must pick up some to try. Haven't actually had since I was a child bar once in a restaurant a few years ago.

    We had it over Christmas most years when I was young usually just as cold cuts for teatime. It's not the most appetizing looking cut before it is cooked and peeling the skin off after is certainly is not a job for the squeamish.

    Apparently we sell 30 tonnes of them to Japan every month.

    Oh I am generally. There’s just certain foods I can’t get past. Silly I know. I’ve even been tempted to buy it a few times as it looks quite nice.

    Mrs. B’s family would have pig’s ears at family gatherings (remember them?) and it’s another one that I’m like, “nah! you’re grand!” :)

    My parents remember eating crubeens from chippers. For those who don't know, they are boiled pig trotters.

    I’d like to try them, think they could be tasty.
    Don’t know why chicken, duck, legs are ok, but pigs are considered yuck.

    chicken legs, duck legs... yes tasty, but your missing the vital difference here. It's not pigs legs, its pigs feet. Toes, nails, hard skin. There mostly fat but you can get at some lovely meat between the toes :)

    Talking about horrible food :

    He also declared that the unwashed warthog rectum he ate in Namibia[86] was "the worst meal of [his] life",[87] along with the fermented shark he ate in Iceland.[88][89]

    Nah.
    We eat animal legs all the time. That what ham (upper) and ham hock (lower leg) are. Lamb shanks. Chicken drumsticks etc.

    Feet are a step beyond that. Including chicken feet, which is common in chinese food.

    No earthquake in the region, but the 71-storey SEG Plaza in Shenzhen, almost 1,000 ft. tall, starts shaking for no apparent reason:

    Human killed by a dinosaur! A rare enough event these days......

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57226774
    Spanish police are investigating the death of a 39-year-old man whose body was found inside a dinosaur statue.

    Authorities were alerted on Saturday after a father and his son noticed a smell emanating from the papier-mâché figure in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, a suburb of Barcelona.

    The father then saw the corpse through a crack in the Stegosaurus' hollow leg.

    Police said the man had been reported missing by his family, and no foul play is suspected.

    Three fire brigade teams were called to scene after the body was discovered, and firefighters cut open the dinosaur leg to retrieve it.

    Local media report the man - who has not been named - was trying to retrieve a mobile phone he dropped inside the statue. He then fell inside the decorative figure and was left trapped upside down, unable to call for help.
