Some of you knew I was going to take the "Cluck U" challenge today. If you haven't heard of it here goes: you have to eat 10 of the hottest hot wings on earth,3,000,000 scovil units(a habanero is 30,000) in 5 minutes and then after licking the sauce off of your fingers sit for another 5 minutes. I figured to do it easily.
Bottom line the manager called time with literally one bite left and wouldn't budge even though I finished the last bite within another second.
Feeling very warm inside about now, but not like the durian. The heat didn't get me , just should have been more aware of the game clock.
I'll get'em next time.

Well, I haven't been to brave or ventured to far in the world of cuisine. I like good ol' home cooking.
When in chiropractor school, I was the president of the sportsman club for a while. We did a barbecue for people on campus...we called it the 'Tastes of Texas'

the menu included:
elk,
deer,
antelope,
wild boar,
quail,
pheasant,
duck,
rattlesnake,
a few varieties of fish
and a few others I can't recall.

I don't see how most of these would qualify as 'weird' but for some people they may, especially the rattlers.

When I lived in Chile, there were plenty of foods served us that I considered outside the norm. Some I found tasty, others I prefer to avoid.

Ubre (cow utter) although they said it was a delicacy, I did not really like it. I especially disliked the texture.

hocico (cow snout/mouth) again the texture just didn't rub me right

prietas (blood sausage) I am not a blood fan.

tierra y mar (means: land and sea..it is a dish of kelp and potatoes, with a 'healthy' amount of stomach in it.) Again, not my favorite. Guess I am beginning to sound like a picky eater...

fideos con cerebro (spaghetti and brains) I really didn't care for this one. I have done enough butchering and brain tanned a hide or two, that the smell turns off my appetite..... brains were just not meant for my consumption

Mariscal: a seafood dish that many liked... Several varieties of raw shellfish mixed together with onions, lemon, cilantro, oil, etc. I could probably learn to like it but much prefer my shellfish cooked.

perhaps the least appetizing mean I was served there was a pig hide that I had seen in the rafters of the house for a couple of weeks. There was about 1/4 " of fat on it, the hide itself and all the hair. The hair had been shaved off..so it was all still a good 1/4 long..counting was was both buried in the hide and what was exposed. It was not fried hard, rather was cooked so that it was chewy. Every bite would be a mouth of lard and hair and take forever to chew. They were some of the nicest people anywhere, so I couldn't tell them that I found it objectionable, and the crawdad empanadas that were served with it were wonderful.

I could go on, but I guess that I have rambled on enough for one post..

Ohh yuck. I've never been fond of Cuero Curado either.... Mariscal sounds very much like our Ceviche up here in Ecuador. The Fideos con Cerebro just proves to me that Chilenos are a little loopy.

Welcome to weird food world!

momoese

Awesome! I've always wanted to try that. A lot of people bring milk to drink after the "meal"

Bob

Mitchell I was chugging antacid right after and for hours. The wings went down ok at noon and stayed down without incident.... I'm still in a bit of pain now though if you get my drift.

Bob, I did something like that at Buffalo Wild Wings. Not sure if it is the same sauce, but it sure was hot. The "ring stinger" reminded me for two days following.

Also, I had chickens feet for lunch long with pickled, spicy seaweed and pig stomach. Yum-yum!

Funny I was reminded of the Johny Cash song "Ring if fire".Get used to the chicken feet if your going to move. Seaweed salad is one of my favorite things. Never tried a pig stomach but I would try for sure.

Bob,

Had a buddy Ron from Trenton that loved hot stuff. Especially wings. He had a way to put the fire out that I'm still skeptical about to this day.

Ron would eat a pile of hot wings followed immediately by a dish of vanilla ice cream. When the gastrointestinal volcano went off he would sit there yelling "come on ice cream, come on ice cream"....again and again. He called it his automatic sprinkler system.

Never tried it myself, only eat ice cream as a snack.

Dan

browndrake

at least with chiles...and other mexican style hot stuff, bread and butter seems to put out the heat as well as anything.

Not sure if it works with hot curries and that kind of hot stuff. Haven't eaten as many of them

Any dairy product will put out the fire. Around here we use sour cream. A spoonful will immediately cool down your mouth.

Bob

The mouth wasn't even an issue.
Did you think this thread would eventually go "there"?

I was wondering how many pages it would take, really... Looks like 17 was the limit. Good for us!

While we're talking about hot stuff, though, I think I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Aji (hot-pepper sauce) made in the Ecuadorean province of Loja. This is made with a small local pepper called Dragon's Teeth or Dragon's Tears, which is an arresting black-purple when it's ripe, and is extremely hot; all this is combination with habaneros and aji peppers. Lojanos have a special test for their hot sauces, which seems to me to be a tad extreme - one takes a drop of the liquid and places it on the web of skin between the thumb and forfinger, on the back of the hand where the skin is thinner. If it leaves a blister, it's considered to be good sauce. I am officially addicted to this type of aji, which is not very hot on contact with the tongue but which burns later once it's passed into the stomach, and find myself testing the comparatively weak sauces in Quito restaurants in the Loja manner.

momoese

Didn't we allready discuss the coffee beans that are eaten and passed by some creature before being made into coffee?

lorax

We did, but that's to do with another creature's excretory functions, not our own. This is the first time we've been tempted to talk about the effects of wierd food or wierd food practices on our own digestions. Thanks, Bob! Another IBS milestone!

Bob

It's best to lead and not follow sometimes. I hope and tried not to cross to far over the edge. Tiptoeing the line however........
