    Black licorice is unpopular? I don't think I know anyone who doesn't like it.

      When I was a child living in Germany, I used to love what were called 'Rollmops'. They were long strips of (I think) pickled herring rolled around a piece of sour pickle and secured with a toothpick. Yum!

      Are they still available, Klaus?

      Of course. It's very traditional to eat it for breakfast if you have a really bad hangover.

        Clearly there’s an association with intelligence and enjoying black licorice.

                          I love smoked eel. I can't eat a lot of it (too fatty), but once a year or so I enjoy it.

                          I had haggis once and it was better than I expected. Not my favorite food, but quite edible.

                            I love black licorice. One thing I miss about Atlanta is the high end candy store I used to buy licorice from. I can't remember the name of the store, but the sold candy by the pound, and must have had around 20 or 30 different kinds of anise and black licorice chouces.

                              I don’t like black licorice, but I do enjoy anise. Go figure...

                                You chaps aren't exactly knocking it out of the park in your quest for adventurous foods.

                                Liver can be wonderful - calf's liver is great if done right.

                                Where's Brenda and her disgusting lutefisk? Maybe she's abandoned it in favour of frogs-legs.

                                  In Taiwan, there is a joke that we eat everything on a pig except the "oink". LOL

                                    I fully suport that. It is respectful to the creature that was sacrificed.

                                      I posted this in another forum thread a while back, but these guys (Norway commandos in the World War 2) went to another level:

                                      From the book:

                                      "they had become connoisseurs of reindeer...... They could tell an old bull from a calf from a yearling....... Eyelid fat and bone marrow were the finest of delicacies. As was gorr, a soup made from the contents of the deers stomach, rich in moss, mixed with meat, blood and water. Truth however, is that they were indiscriminate. They ate the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, larynx, tongue, tooth nerves, eyes, nose, every sliver of meat on the bones, and then the bones themselves. Other than the hooves, horns and pelts, nothing escaped their plates."

                                        After reading that book about Shackleton's voyage, I'll always wonder what penguin tastes like. I don't think those guys loved it.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          Had it with onions. Had fried tripe, too.
