Some of these posts have cracked me up!!!
I have to jump on the brussel sprout bandwagon- everytime I have tried them, they were bitter. Same goes for okra. Will also pass on the "animal innerds" (any animal)- livers, hearts, intestines, brains..... (hog casings for sausage excluded). And I know I'm weird for this one, but yoghurt. I keep tasting it every year or so, because I know it is good for you- but I just can't get into that "tang" of it. WIll also pass on all the coffees and mochas in the world- (send my share to Blade)- never acquired the taste- now tea is a whole different story!
Austin- I'm in Sacramento, and the last time I went to Hometown (during the summer) the ham didn't look so good, so I didn't even try it. Did I just hit a bad day?
As far as crawdads go- we have them in a local lake- a bunch of us used to scuba dive and collect them. We would hand our bags to our kids on the dock, who would throw the little ones back. We had a coleman stove right there in the parking lot with a stock pot of boiling water and a little pan of melted butter. We wouldn't even be out of our wetsuits before we'd have a plate of craydads (crayfish) and a chunk of sourdough bread on the side! Yum!
