Sheeps eyeballs in Libya, considered a delicacy there :!:

Well said Alan :D

How anybody can actually like the stuff is beyond me :)

I ate some roasted grasshoppers in Uganda, which you buy by the bagfull. Tasted a bit nothingy really. I didn't have too many though. They looked a lot worse than they tasted :lol:
Cheers PJ.

I'd rather eat the mice :wink:

Mice in Cream (Souris à la crème)
Skin, gut and wash some fat mice without removing their heads. Cover them in a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or pork belly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the mice, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and 6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce, transfer the sautéed mice to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes before serving.

Anything cooked involving cheese.

Pizza to me is an abomination and as for the current advert with the fat twit barging into someones home and cooking prawn pasta using Philadelphia soft cheese, makes me heave. :x

Liver or kidneys.....both have the same effect on me as the Philly advert does on Peter.

Fat on meat..any fat at all, literally makes me gag.
Happy with my lot

Kidneys & tripe have me heaving, but I'm rather partial to Marmite. .

My husband was once served ox's terstimonials at a dinner he attended in the Far East. They didn't tell him what he was eating until afterwards. Apparently it's supposed to be a delicacy.

Love the Souris a la Creme recipe Alan. Might give it a whirl for Christmas Day lunch :lol: :lol:
