When I was growing up we would make fried bologna sandwiches. Served on toasted white bread with mustard and tabasco, fried potatoes on the side.

Fried chicken.
Not that fried chicken is weird or bad but my mother made the worst fried chicken in the world. There was always something wrong with it. She finally quit trying and we got baked chicken instead.

how can you go wrong with fried chicken. I mean you just pull it outta the bucket, right?

red · 10-29-2004, 07:44 PM

apparently fried okra is weird. We used to eat it like popcorn when we'd watch a movie.

I love fried okra, almost as much as I love pickled okra.

MMMMMMM

I'm from Oklahoma where okra grows like crazy. My grandmother even puts it in her vegetable soup.

Chops and mash.

Fish and chips.

Broad beans.

Pheasant. With the shot still in it.

Both of my parents are from Iowa but moved to Michigan. When my grandpa and grandma would come to visit us during the summer, they would always bring a mess of catfish. We would have fish fries twice a week for the entire summer. I got so sick of catfish I haven't touched it since.

My dad liked cow tongue. Mom would not cook it for him, but my grandma did. There was nothing more unsettling than to open up the refrigerator and see a big old tongue on a plate. Dad liked to eat it on white bread with mustard. GAG

My dad also liked pickled pigs feet.

The worst thing my mom made me eat was a little dish called salmon loaf. It was similar to meatloaf only made with canned salmon. I would gag as I was eating it. To add insult to injury, it seemed to always be my turn to do the dishes on those nights.

Bavarian food.

Schmarn, literally: "nonsense." Crepe batter scrambled in a pan, served hot, dusted with sugar.

German pancakes: big thin crepes, filled with applesauce and rolled up.

Bread dumplings: dumplings made of shredded-up bread mixed with egg, salt, and pepper, then boiled until glutinous and served with gravy.

Rollmops: pickled herring.

German potato salad: made with vinegar and green onion, served hot.

Only mustard in the house: horseradish.

Only cheese in the house: Camembert.
