Our Own.....Bizarre Foods...Thread !

[X Factor 1,112]

Very bizarre at my house, I've recently come to realize. But we did snack on green mango and bagoong before dinner. The dog kept its distance because of the smell of bagoong, although she did eat some green mango as I prepared it.

My wife is the opposite. She has been loving the food that I grew up with. She does cook her traditional meals about 2 times per week but she seems to love what I love. Eating bread, pancakes, bacon etc.

I actually think its an intentional plan on her part, so I'll be more than ready to move to the Philippines. She likes Filipino bread and we pick it up these buns pretty regularly. If we're out, a hamburger bun seems to be close enough for her. Hamburgers on the grill are the one American foods she loves. She hated hamburgers until she got here, but only had Philippines fast food burgers before. I used to make her French Toast, and suddenly she burned out on it. I probably cook just under a third of our meals, she cooks just over a third, and the last third is eating out.

Although I love bacon, it slowly has slipped out of my diet, replaced by pork tocino, while hashbrowns have been replaced with rice. I'm the breakfast chef in the house, and suddenly I've noticed I'm always cooking Filipino breakfasts. Rice, eggs, pork tocino, and dried fish, is the standard breakfast now.

Your wife doesn't cook? No wonder she eats American

In the 12 years that I have known her. She has cooked me about a dozen meals. As a result, nearly a pound of beef was used......

My SIL cooked me more meals than that.......(may be I shoulda.......... ), never mind

My wife didn't really know how to cook much when I met her. Her mother put her into an intensive training program to make sure she could cook and would be a good wife, once my wife and I were involved. Before she was working she did almost all the cooking. I told her that would change when she worked, but I don't think she believed me, until it happened. The whole family is proud she changed me from being thin to being fat once she got here. Strange thing to be proud of, but its kind of their tradition. Good wive's have fat husbands, bad wives have skinny husbands.

Tomorrow, I shall scour the streets of NYC once again, in search of the bizarre.......

for now my friends......

If it looks good.......eat it !

(I've gotta come up with my own slogan)

Well, I thought I had eaten some odd things, like tripe and chicken feet at dim sum, cow tongue (not so odd), some kind of Korean intestine soup they told me was not for white people so I ordered it for spite... but compared to maggoty worm soup, I got nothin'.

For Steve, I think the weirdest thing on NYC street is the geoduck. You're just showing cockels and clams and other things

Has anyone eaten bird's nest soup?

Apparently in China somewhere they have a ####### restaurant that serves all sorts of animal penises... I remember turtle and deer. I saw it on a travel show.

Chicken intestines on a stick. This was something my wife would make and sell after school to make a few pisos. We tried to get the ingredients this past weekend, but the Mexicans working the meat counter at the Asian grocery just gave me funny looks and shook their heads when I asked them. Which raises another question, why are their so many Mexicans working in the big Asian grocery stores around here?

No lol.....altho I did meet my wife and my SIL at the same time......I feel bad for my sis in law kinda....I know she's a little envious of Tiff.

Yes it is the Asian tradition. (Just not my wife)

Now to adress the Geoduck/ gooeyduck....... my friend, it is not geoduck season in NYC. Otherwise I woulda ate it and showed it to you guys.

Bird's nest. My wife has some good stash of it. If I find it I'll take a pic for you. It's quite pricey also. Chinese women believes that it's nourishment for fertility and complexion. Tiff also makes it for my daughter. They both have silky smooth flawless skin.

Whenever I go hunting, my Chinese friends ask me for the deer #######. (As well as the tail) They also seek the velvet off the antlers (Which by November in NY, is all rubbed off). They also want the liver, kidneys, and heart. I'm 3/4 Chinese, and I don't eat any of this.

Some people have it in them and some don't. The part-Filipino ex-husband only ate lots of eel and crispy salmon skin as weird things. His normal eating habits must have come from the Jew/Slovak half.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't eat the deer #######?

You must do it to honor the buck you have killed, duh. Plus, it will make you very virile.

I can't contribute to this thread because I am a boring eater.

I don't often hunt. But when I do, I prefer not to eat the deer d*ck.......

I drank the blood of the first deer I killed, that satisfies the deer Gods.

I highly recommend you go out right now.... find some freaky Scandinavian stuff, eat it, and then come back and tell us about it dear..........I know it's the middle of the night over there, and I know everything closes promptly at 6.......but go find something......go eat some pickled herring at your MIL's house or something......

Oh! lol I had no idea geoduck had a "season." I figured it was all under the sea.... all the same! The other thing that looks icky is the shellfish that looks like a razor, but I don't know what that is. They probably all taste the same.
