I remember when I was first diagnosed, I had a silly thought. I thought...
They're going to come out with all of these new candy bars and I'll never
know what they taste like! And it really was a silly thought because there
was all sorts of candy out there at the time that I had never tasted. Nor
had I wanted to.

There is a high school girl at Angela's dance studio who has never eaten a
hamburger. I thought this sounded strange. Because they are such a common
food. And then I realized that I have never eaten a Big Mac. They just
never looked appealing. And I have never eaten blue cheese. It doesn't
look appealing either.

Of course there are all sorts of foreign foods I have never eaten. Perhaps
because I have never encountered them. But there are countless foods I am
surrounded by now that I have never eaten and have never thought to eat.
Many kinds of cake, ice cream, cookies, seafood, some fruits and veggies.
And lamb. I don't think I've ever had that. I don't think I've had an Egg
McMuffin either. Or one of their fish sandwiches. Or their chicken nuggets
or strips or whatever they're called. And now they have new chicken bites.

So are there any foods that are common to your area that you've never eaten?

It doesn't, nor was it intended to. It was intended to provide an item
of possible interest to any of the newsgroup readers who might have
been curious about varieties of food (for reference, note the subject
title of the original posting.) I was not aware that she owns the
newsgroup or its contents. I am not aware that you do either.

If you feel that the content of this or any newsgroup must conform
to what she, or you, feel is the proper subject matter of a free
discourse please say so. Include your rules of censorship and
penalties for free speech. Shame on you, Lee.

Actually I own the newsgroup. I bought it using my Pinecone Research
checks. Seeing as how I only get $3.00 per survey you can imagine how long
it took me to save up for it. But now it's mine, all mine! Bwahahaha! The
power is going to my head!

So you tried Witchetty grubs yet ?

They are sought out as a high-protein food by Indigenous Australians.

Not on my bucket list :-)

grin, before diagnosis, i would get a call 'where can we find good
(enter type of food here)' and i would happily have a couple of
ideas..... price.......ambience........ and ALL had excellent food quality

i really missed that soon after diagnosis as i had to learn 'food' all
over again on diabetic terms

not long after that, i'm eating at a restaurant and the "lounge
restaurant chef" or the "chief executive chef" were "having me test new
recipes for my opinion............... asking me if i knew how they made
it.............. grin

wait, and my food critic friend, and my poor friend who had to go out at
night and check restaurants for service, quality of food, any 'funky
billing' and such

ahhhhhhhhhhh i was spoiled

kate

i don't think i could manage grasshoppers and i won't even go
further...... LOL


but, i'm thinking those grubs, rolled in a batter/bread...........deep
fried and served with garlic and............


escargot!

they were like pretezels covered in cholate, not worth the screwing up the
courage for, an anticlimax really, grubs are too close to worms for me so
even garlic and cheese wouldn't get me there atm, but put in the situation i

oh, you have it Lee!!

fortunately, i LOVE spices and......... 'cultural foods'?? for lack of a
better word (versus over cooked roast and veggies cooked to mush with
the standard 1/2 plate of potatoes, some days even with gravy!) LOL

i don't eat as MUCH as i used to, but i eat BETTER every day in every way

now, time to check the N Indian food cooking lessons followed by BUFFET
for $39/head......... 3 hours of lessons, all you can eat and your
choice of wine or beer

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm yup, that's double what i'd spend on a meal, but think
that's going to be a GREAT lesson! ((we've had samosa's and such from
that restaurant via friends before))

You bet, Lee

separately (heaven forbid we have a casserole!)

Oooh, after six full days an assault, a biting cutting critique
of a most negative vile sort. I am crestfallen; ah woe, alas,
mea maxima culpa. And the Patriots lost also; has the
limitless mercy of the Almighty finally hit a speedbump?
I am crestfallen, truly bereft of any semblance of joy.

pavane, woefully filtered.

When I had GD I made most everything as a casserole unless I was eating a
salad. I found it easier to factor in casserole form. I would simply add
up the counts for everything that went in there and then divide it by 4 or 6
or 8 or whatever worked out best. Woe be to anyone that dared take a
portion that wasn't an exact square, rectangle or wedge because then it
would mess me up!

Well, there were no details as to when the lesson would be....... no
date, no time........ by time i found someone who could answer the
question, i was told the offer had expired

sigh

next time!

May I interest you in pig ear in aspic? My Grandfather(RIP) liked
eating that stuff. I don't know how to make it, but you can bet your
sweet bippies I won't be eating it any time soon.
If I was a starving man, mad with hunger, lost for weeks in the bush
and I was offered pig ear in aspic, I'd turn it down.
I do like my pig tails though.

One of my past hobbies was collecting old cookbooks. As in really old. I
saw more things put in aspic in those things than I cared to. I've never
eaten aspic and don't care to.

Think clear , unsweetened jello with something in it which could well be
something you like. In wel made, homemade gefilte fish, the gelled broth
surrounding the refrigerated fish is quite delicious and, i suppose, is
technically an aspic. No need for pigs ears of calves feet etc surrounded
by aspic, but often quite nice things too.
