My main WTF is WHO TF in their right mind watches these streams?

Bikerman2019 · 04-05-2021 11:03am

Here's a different one, for the times we are in, from Liverpool.

The first pilot gig without masks, post covid, to see what happens

Here's to better times.

There were two of those, there was also an outdoor event in Sefton Park for five thousand people. Hopefully there is little/no new cases through transmission over this and things can open up a bit more.

If nothing else it prove one way or another whether social distancing & masks really did help or not. Assuming the testing was imperfect.

Yeah, the real WTF is that we're gone nearly 18 months in a surreal 1984 world that even George Orwell couldn't have imagined.

"vegemite on toast" :eek: hahahaha.

To me, the fact that THAT is included is the WTF.

I've had surströmming, and it wasn't bad. Thankfully it was prepared outside by someone else!

Thre are a lot of foods out there that you wouldn't touch with a bargepole if you saw it being prepared.

But some will eat anything if is smells nice!

The grilled cow udder (The argentinian entry) is available in The Netherlands as wel.
But sold under a name that doesnt make you instantly think about what part of the cow you are actually eating.

You dont have to be in a hurry to eat it either because it takes about 4 hours from raw to edible.

And that is how it looks on a sandwich.

KevRossi · 08-05-2021 10:36am

That's either a very big sandwich or a very small pint of Guinness.

inforfun · 08-05-2021 10:39am

Big sandwich. There is a reason why we are all so tall

Mr Crispy · 08-05-2021 10:39am

Does cow udder taste milky?

inforfun · 08-05-2021 10:44am

I had it a few times ages ago. Doesnt taste of much to be honest.
It is one of those things that used to be poor people food 100 years ago and now is "niche" i guess. Still cheap though at €4 a kilo
Raw herring used to be poor people's food too but is now rather expensive though. But at least that i m prepared to kill for.

bnt · 08-05-2021 11:27pm

I had cured cow's tongue fairly regularly while growing up, since I was moved to South Africa when I was almost 7. I remember it being really nice thinly sliced on sandwiches with mustard etc. It didn't look or feel like a tongue as such. Years later I was surprised to find that people hadn't heard of it and went "ew" if I mentioned it. :P

cows tongue would have been fairly common in ireland up to 30 years ago. I would be surprised if FX Buckleys on Moore St didn't still sell it.

BaZmO* · 08-05-2021 11:51pm

Sliced Ox Tongue is regularly available in the deli section in M&S. It actually looks like it’d be quite nice on a sandwich, but I just can’t bring myself to try it. I know, I know, silly to be so squeamish!!

fritzelly · 08-05-2021 11:55pm

I remember spare ribs being the stuff you got off the butcher for the dog - not nowadays

Happened before covid will happen after covid....phones should be banned at gigs.

The wife is from Sardinia and I've been visiting there for over twenty years. I've had sheep's brain for Christmas dinner but so far I've managed to steer clear of the Casu Marzu ("rotten cheese"). You'd have to wonder what size balls were on the first guy who decided to eat it. He must have been starving...

fritzelly · 09-05-2021 1:33am

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.

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.

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.

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 :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Bourdain

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.
