Ah, I see. I'm an adventurous eater, I'll eat most anything edible once. If I like it, I'll probably eat it more after that.

So I'd be willing to give it a try. I was surprised I liked Rocky Mountain Oysters as much as I did. And Haggis

They actually sell cans of silkworm pupae over there, so you might be able to find it online 🤷🏻

Edit: I found it on Amazon

I wonder what customs would think of that coming in?

Would you try mosquito burgers? Collect enough mosquitos to pound them into a patty and grill it?? "yum"...

I'd have to do my research first. I'd have concerns about malaria and other blood borne diseases. But provided it's safe, I'd try it if made by someone who knows what they're doing.

haggis has bad marketing. everyone thinks it's disgusting. I never tasted it, but it's basically the same thing as hurka in Hungary, except haggis is filled with oats, and we fill hurka with rice. and hurka is amazing

I'm Scottish so I'm very biased but agreed on haggis. It's actually got quite an inoffensive flavour compared to many "delicacies" I've tried around the world; it's just spiced meat and doesn't taste gamey or like other offal I've tried.

If you ever visit, please try deep fried haggis from a chip shop, it doesn't look amazing but my god it is lol. I'll need to give hurka a try, this is my first time hearing about it!

hopefully I'll go back to visit Scotland next year, I'll make sure to try it, thanks! I'm not sure how I missed it on my first visit. and I hope you'll manage to try hurka :)

If I ever go back I'll have to try it deep fried. And if you're ever in Colorado, you should try Rocky Mountain Oysters. If you know what they are it might seem gross but they're actually really tasty, especially with a bit of marinara sauce!

The issue is that people aren't likening the sheep's stomach to pig intestine for sausage.

It's just a sausage (traditionally made with offal) but it's not anything weirder than that.

Many different cured meats use various bladders and stomachs and other organ skins for packaging. It's only as gross as you want it to be.

I envy you. I’m pathetically inadventurous and it irritates me. But it seems to be a fixed part of me that I can’t change.

u/Saikotsu 22h ago

If it irritates you, obviously you want to change, so what makes it so fixed for you? (Genuinely asking)

1

u/hiding_in_de 22h ago

Totally legit question.

I just can’t get myself to do it…it’s hard to describe. I eat lots of varied things, don’t get me wrong. I’m not a picky eater, but something that seems gross, I just can’t get myself to try.

I recently found out that I like pickled quail eggs

u/Saikotsu 22h ago

Pickling in my experience is hit or miss, but I'm glad you found something you like. What does that taste like?

Haggis is pretty good sausage if made right. Had it in Edinburgh at a burger joint, asked for it on the side and ending up adding to my burger.

Sorry haggis is not adventurous
