Greek culture is very focused on hospitality. They make allowances for foreigners, but basically, if a guest eats everything they're served, there's an implied insult to the host's hospitality (because they didn't provide enough food). So if they host doesn't give a guest enough food, that's rude, and if a guest eats everything they're served, that's also rude.

So if you go eat at a Greek family's house and operate on the American "I have to be polite and eat everything I'm served" rule, they'll keep piling food on your plate until you explode.

Also, I agree, Kokoretsi is really delicious.

Vegemite.

On toast or plain bread with or without bitey cheese. Yummo

Or with a big breakie we’ll put an egg tomato and bacon rind.

Dim Sum chicken feet...yeah I know.

Still waiting here for the first balut egg lover.

When the batter is right, I cannot pass them up.

The bowling ally at NAS North Island had some of the best followed closely by a corner gas stop in Watonga, OK

Gizzards are a great appetizer or snack.


Chewy and delicious.

As a kid I used to eat mustard and mayonnaise sandwiches. Just white bread, mustard and mayo.

Louis it might be a La. thing you know I like Crawfish and when I was a kid I liked sweet pickle and mustard sandwiches

^^^^I've been to a couple of crawfish boils and think they're fine; I just think of them as miniature freshwater lobsters! 'Course, the boils were put on by a friend of mine originally from NOLA, and I'm from Missouri and have been familiar with crawfish all my life; didn't seem strange to eat them. Then, too, our Ozark streams are gravel-bottomed and clear, so I never thought of crawdads as "mud bugs". They are, I'll admit, excellent bait.

At my brother's bachelor party in Ohio we got a cabin in the woods and just hung out for a weekend. We killed a pig, butchered it, and cooked it in a covered pit. We also hit the creek out back and cought about 150 crawfish and boiled them up. Actually not bad eating.

My mom used to take the left over ground taco meat with diced potatoes and make what we called scrambled eggs and taco mix. She would scrable some eggs up and mix the meat and then put the mixture in pan in a patty. Then you would toast up bread, add butter and put the patty on the bread. Very filling and yummy.

Add some bologna and I'm sold.

Raw ground pork on a roll,garnished with salt, fresh ground pepper and onions is a thing here in Germany.

BTW, I don’t find crawfish an odditie.

That bologna sandwich has a different level of sophistication after a day at the river for sure.

Livermush. For those of you outside a small circle in western North Carolina, here is an explanation.
