Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
Im not sure. I've tried blue point, japanese, and several other unnamed oysters from several spots.
I notice that the ones I don't like are quite large, and the ones I do like are sometimes the size of a quarter. I had the 'Japanese' oysters(large) at a sushi restaurant that I frequent. How big are 'mountain oysters'? Are they 'oysters' in the traditional sense?.. or some clever nickname for something else? ..On my trip to New Orleans alone, I remember going up and down Bourbon Street and eating oysters right on the bar counter in some places! I have no idea what type of oysters they were, but I loved them all!! |

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
SM,
Mountain oysters are cojones -- from whatever animal suits your fancy. Have you never heard of those Cuban treats like arroz con cojones or cojones en escabeche? -- Miami specialties!!! |

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
Rocky Mountain Oysters are common in Texas- although I've never had them. Most women won't. Common here are goat, cow and horse. Yup. Horse. When I had my friends stud colt gelded (she was too squeamish), the Vet took $5 off the bill because he would sell them to a restaurant on the south side of San Antonio. Supposed to be like oysters- gives "vitality."
As for the cute stove picture, I think it's adorable. |

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
Yes, it's very cute & funny, but hopefully some crackhead out there doesn't take it serious!

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
A supermarket in Barcelona Spain had this display.. Chicken anyone?
Sbl, have you ever been to Europe? They don't seem to share in our concerns about proper sanitation. We rarely used any drinking glasses since they were always dirty! |

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
I do normally draw the line at anything that still has its teeth once it's been put in the tin... Where was that from? CIS?

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
OK, I give up. What is that?? The thought of someone eating that is scary.

Re: Weird Food - Care to share?
That must be a sort of fish or something else from Atlantic ocean. Its written "Atlantics" on a tin in Russian.
