Fermented tuna entrails in Sydney. Jellied eel in London. Disgusting.

Edit: I also ate a couple fish eyes off a fish head (served with a whole fish) just for *****. Was pretty terrible.


Aren't sweetbreads and brains the same thing?

Sheep head is delicious especially when it's rubbed with some cumin salt and clay oven roasted.

Had Balut and Durian Iced cream....but the maple bacon iced cream was trippy for me, personally.


I am going to have to try to make that icecream....

I had sliced beef and maw on friday...the maw was actually a lot less weird than I thought it would be.

Nope, sweetbreads is the thymus gland, which I believe is in the throat area. Edit: Google says it can also be the pancreas.

Octopus at Il Cortil in Little Italy. It wasn't the legs cooked in with the pasta, they were little octopi, the boddies a little bigger than a golf ball, sitting up on the plate with the legs spread out below them.... Meh...

I didn't even know the thymus is edible

Had roasted sheep pancreas stuffed with onions and lamb fat, it was very good.

A couple months ago, I attended a traditional Vietnamese wedding dinner. The first dish served was a platter of sliced cuddlefish, pork knee, and jellyfish salad. Next up was what we were told was shark-fin soup. I later found out it was actually fish stomach soup. After this was a bit more normal fare, with lobster, fried chicken (with the deep-fried head still on the dish), a whole fish, and fried noodles.

In all honesty, the jellyfish salad was pretty good, similar to seaweed salad. The fish stomach soup wasn't bad either. The consistency was strange, but when you add the vinegar they put on our table, it was quite good. Not a bad dinner, but I was being a bit more adventurous than my date and our friends.

Gotta second the pickled pigs feet. Not a whole lot of meat on those bad boys. Served with saltines and apple cider.
