for real........... my wifes people are from the carbbian................ they eat some strange ***
her grandmother said......... she was thinking of me when she decided to make some souce................. i was like....... ok and thinking WTF is souce. so she makes me follow her around to the kitchen......... this big huge ass pot of something boiling. she goes on to tell me whats in it........... pigs feet...... cows feet....... lets just say simular nasty ****, its just quicker that way.
now im like thinking................. what the HELL have i ever done or said to you that made you think i would EVER eat that kinda mess?
so she says that she has a huge mess of it cooking and that is what we will have when we come over sunday for dinner............ i was like ........ um......... i might be getting a stomach ache........... yeah....... um......... pretty likely.
she MAKES ME TASTE IT.......... the damn feet are still pinkish white........... its pretty damn much just cartilage........... so i blew the liquid off the spoon in a very convinceing manner to suggest i had indeed tasted this concoction..............
the next day i know im F***** and that i WILL have to at least sample it....... so im thinking........ ill try the cows foot.......... at least thats beef ........ right?
i no sooner get there than she marches me to the kitchen and has me assist her in pouring this molten mess into another container....... about half of it.............
the instructions i received....... just skim off the grease when it congeals..............
then i find out....... this huge ass container...... is to be my doggy bag......... its what i get to take home with me.................. can you say HELL NO
so i actually get a bowl of it........... picking through the cartilage and eating it in front of her and telling her how good it was..................... it tasted like strong potroast........... strong tough potroast.
i even went back and pretended to get seconds.............. to make her feel better.
now i try to get out without takeing any............ didnt work she mentioned it three times how i must take it......... now if i take that s*** its gonna go in the trash can before i get inside the house......... so i figure better me leave it for any other unlucky bastard who might actually LIKE it........so i get a bowl................ to take with............... and decide...... she has plastic interlocking plates that are disposeable......... so i get two of them and pretend to get that junk and lock the plates together......... exit as quickly as possible....... thanking her profusely for the soup.........
i thought my wife was gonna choke when i handed her my plate and said.......... honey hold this carefully and dont spill any ok..................
as soon as she got it from me........ she KNEW that bastard was EMPTY lol and almost laughed.
I HATE MY WIFE sometimes......... she dosent eat beef OR pork.............. so she got out of having to even try that stuff. i would make the same claim.......... except........... sometimes she makes damn good ribs and steak....... so that makes up for it lol

ya know I've come up with some pretty crazy concoctions but NOTHING like that. WOE! lol When I was married to my first husband he totally loved chicharron (deep fried pig skin), which is very salty but edible. lol But wow, I've lived down south before and have never heard of the stuff you all are talkin' about.

There's a lot of immigrants from the West Indies in my part of Montreal and I can vouch that PrimitiveGenius's story is true. The REAL way to eat that is to supposedly let it sit in a bucket overnight till it congeals.
I've personally never eaten it, but I'd probably like it. -

You may not believe it, but pig tails are GREAT barbecued! The preparation involves pre-cooking and pre-soaking to remove most of the salt, then marinating them in seasonings. All you need after that is your barbecue pit and favorite sauce ... scrumptious!
As for "souse" that primitivegenius mentioned .. we have that here all the time. As a matter of fact, it's great street food and comes in many varieties ... chicken gizzards, chicken feet, cow's skin, pig's feet, seafood too. The only thing is that we don't eat it "congealed". The meats are rinsed well before being placed to soak in seasonings, cucumbers etc. Take it from me, it tastes much better than it sounds.

My thanks to all who replied.
Nvr, you are a genius. Primitivegenius, you KNOW you are already.
John Doe, will you cease and desist with the RMO references? You're gonna get this thread taken down!
Babygirl75, you better get with the program.
Marmot, that's what I'm talking about. Real comfort food.
