Strange Things to Eat

I took these pictures the last time I went shopping. Lewis Produce has great deals on their meats, like $2 for 4 leg quarters and choice rib eye steaks cut to order for $6/lb. However, they also sell strange and disturbing foods. I hope you enjoy.

fish heads
tripe and omasum (both stomach) and feet
turkey necks
chicken feet (I ate this before)
pig feet
pig head

  1. My mom used to use extra turkey necks to add flavor to the broth she used for making gravy at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My dad loved to eat fried brains with scrambled eggs. And I knew people who ate pig knuckles and rice when I was a kid. A lot of these "foods" must be acquired tastes. :-)

  2. When I was tutoring a Chinese girl in English - her dad, a chef, always cooked for me to thank me. One night for dinner he made chicken feet and as a side dish. Although the Literacy Council seriously scolded us about always accepting everything they offer, because we don't want to insult their culture. We were friends so I just laughed and said "No thanks. American's don't eat feet." They thought that was hilarious and said "American's are weird, they are delicious." But I will never know...
