Dialectual differences...

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Besides it's more than just lips and assholes.
It's also snout, feet, ears, tails and eyes.

Squid- still won't eat it. I don't like the texture.


Aso- SODA IS NOT POP

You have no sense of adventure.

Lost it for awhile, but I'm finding it again.

[LMNO]

I have found that, in general, the parts of an animal that most Americans do not want to eat are often the tastiest.

Aso- SODA IS NOT POP

I grew up with both "soda" and "pop," but, yeah, it's soda.

I did try squid, was like chewing on a mouthful of rubber bands.

[Richter]

Bacon?  If anything, scrapple is more like hillbilly pork meatloaf.  And if you've ever eaten sausage, you've essentially eaten chitterlings.


FFS.

Scrapped until it's just a coating, and filled with other meat - gooness.  Not trotted out as some sort of stand alone dish.

[LMNO]

Dude.  Just think of what's done...  Pork.  Braised.  Battered.  Deep Fried.  Hot Sauce.


I mean, really.  How the hell can you be arguing against that?

[Suu]

LMNO is right, chitlins are just whatever's in a sausage without the casing. I can't do scrapple, though.

I've eaten some strange shit, but I really just don't like the taste of entrails. I mean, sausage is usually spiced enough to hide it, but I couldn't do haggis. I DID try it, btw. I just didn't like it. Mama always said to try it twice.

Tell ya what, LMNO.  You haul up here, make or bring a GOOD batch, and I'll give it a fair taste.  (I've had scrapple in PA, that I KNOW is meh, but, fair deal, I'll try that, again, too.)  

Heck, if I'll offer to eat Richter's infamous vindaloo, and if I'll drink some of the stuff I've seen come out of bottles he's holding, it's the least I can do.

Wasn't cooked right.

We'll be able to find something on Blue Hills ave in Rozzi/Dorchester, I'm sure.

Easily.  I've seen buckets of chitterlings in supermarkets labelled "Minimal traces of feces".

Quite possible, but I get texture issues with food.  Some things I can't eat not because of flavor, but because the texture literally makes me gag.  This was one of 'em.

Of course, you realize that label can be put on virtually everything sold in a market...

Erg.  That...  That's revolting.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

They who blaspheme against pizza should be punished with all due severity and righteousness. But being from Pennsylvania also, and currently residing in Georgia after a ten year stint in Iowa . . . The only dialect debacle I keep encountering is the 'pop' versus 'soda' thing and these damn fools putting grilled pickles and banana peppers on their Philly cheesesteaks.


Also, don't forget head cheese. Publix deli sells their version of that stuff. Like meat bits suspended in clear jello. Almost as gross as the original.
