Yummy food with gross ingredients

[Gangerolf]

So I'm having a couple slices of bread with liver pate. Some cucumber slices on top of that. Delicious.

Then I get the bright idea of taking a look at the list of ingredients.

Liver of pig, cow and lamb (29%), water, pork fat, pork meat, beef, wheatmeal, salt, sugar, anchovy (WTF?), tomato puree and spices.

Kind of disgusting really, but I keep on eating of course. I'm not a sissy

But it says Liver Pate on the box damnit, not "Mashed farm animals & anchovies".

Just about anything involving sausage.

I like pear sorbet with raw ham and pizza with figues

One of the apartments that I lived in while in college was above a real nice Lebanese family. They used to invite me to dinner all the time. There was only one rule that I insisted on. They could never tell me EVER, what they were serving me. The first time I asked was the last. But it always tasted great.

yeah sausages usually contain the worst parts of at least 4 different animals (including horse).

ruebens...it takes a bunch of random ingredients and makes a beautiful symphony

Miso Soup... I love fish, but seaweed, dried fish shavings, and tofu paste? I made it once and when those shavings hit the water I almost puked, my wife, who hates fish, said it smelt good...hehe pun, "smelt"

sushi in general, not sashimi or sushi negri, but the seaweed wraps with odd assortments of ingredents.

Japher, you beat me to it! One could say Japanese food in general...

[Japher]

It took me 5 years to get my wife just to try Sushi, now she loves it. Next, I am trying to get her to like sashimi, but she hates fish in general, so this will be hard... (Odd how she'll eat it in sushi, but not alone)...

There is so much..of course, groos ingridients is a cultural decision..

I actually found that if you mix store-bought breadcrumbs (which one might use for baking or frying) and combine them with eggs, and cook the dough one creates, you get something very close to French toast. Weird.

True, but that just ruins the descussion

Whats that stuff the Aussies put on their bread? Is it any good?

[Gangerolf]

Vegemite... it's yeast extract. and no it's not any good

wheatmeal,

You mean wheat flour?

anchovy (WTF?),

Wtf indeed. Dude, you need to get another brand. I always read the ingredients list out of boredom and I've never eaten any liver paté with fish in it. Yuck!

[Gangerolf]

I think wheatmeal is a mix of two or three flours.

I know, anchovy in liver pate, didn't expect that! Maybe it's good for the texture or something.
