Paul - like your wife, I too am allergic to garlic. If it is very well cooked it can be ok, but otherwise makes me sick. So, it is a real thing.
Kidney stew. They love it and ask for the recipe when they don't know in advance what it is. I say that it's an old English recipe that I learned from my mother, which is true.

There is a Jr Food mart gas station about 1/2 hr from here. I'm often the only white person in the place. They sell the best fried chicken anybody had ever eaten, but I'm in love with their gizzards. The ladies who cook there know me and if the gizzards aren't freshly made and tender they cook more for me. I walk in and the cooking lady says, "gizzards?" I smile and nod. I get the craving about every 6 weeks and make the drive. It's a pleasant drive through rolling hills out in the country.

Braunschweiger and Swiss on black rye with sweet hot mustard, fresh lettuce, and fresh tomato.
I love the combination, but my kids don't like the meat or the Swiss Cheese, and my wife doesn't like the Braunschweiger.

I adore the nasty bits. I have to go to the slaughter house to buy beef kidney and tongue, and I have to brine the tongue myself. There is no more tender meat than tongue. Kidney makes an easy, stew which is served over rice. My mother, who came from England and grew up very poor but was ashamed of ever having been poor would make this dish when she would entertain her fancy friends. Every wanted to know how she made it. She would only tell them that it was an old English recipe. They'd have died if they'd known that they had eaten kidney.
Unfortunately, I haven't cared about eating or cooking for about a month now. I don't know why. I'm eating frozen stuff just to keep alive. It's a bummer.
I just stumbled upon a recipe for Thai grilled pork neck that sounds appealing and easy. I think I'll try making that and hope it gets my appetite for cooking and eating going again.

When I was a kid, my Nonni (grandma) would get a whole Pig slaughtered fresh., Nothing went to waste, The basement was filled with hanging hams and sausages, but the best part was a chocolate pudding she made from the Blood of the pig. It was thick and rich, sweet but also a bit hot on the throat. I absolutely loved it. There was no better treat for me. I learned latter on that its called, Sanguinaccio dolce. I used to just call it piggy pudding. I think to make it last longer she added Rice as well or tapioca. Its been a good 40 years now since I had it last, and my Nonni passed away along time ago. My mom learned much of her recipes and has passed on that to me, but Nonni's recipe was sadly lost. I probably could not find fresh Pigs blood out here anyhow...but I highly doubt my kids and wife would go near it if I made it but thats fine as it would be more for me!
Heres some info..

I think that the key is that if you grew up eating weird stuff before you realized that it was weird all you cared about that it was good. I've never had blood pudding but I bet that I could get my hands on the blood.

My hats off to you, Al. I've had blood pudding in Germany, but it wouldn't be the first thing I order.
I was traveling in Singapore in September, had Sunday off, and called up Andrew Soh. He picked me up from the hotel and took me to his favorite hawker stand. His favorite food in all the world is large intestine.

and that's all he ordered. I had to admit it wasn't bad, but every dish was large intestine. I kept up with him for awhile, but he order so much of it!
BTW, my favorite dish is sea cucumber. My family does not share my taste for this.

At my age, everything is irritating.
Wilie, I would have to be near starvation before I would eat that. I would eat lots of other unusual foods though. But in the Philippines a long time ago, I would not try a balut. It is a chicken embryo, near hatching size that is pickled or something. Looks just awful but considered a delicacy there.

Mine's not gross, per se, but I grew up in Africa, the Middle East and Far East as a kid and so was exposed to many types of curry. My favorite curries are Indian and Goan curries, a few of which are ungodly spicy; whenever we eat out, I have a favorite Indian restaurant and I have them make me an off the menu curry.... it's the only meal I eat that my wife and kids NEVER ask to share.. It's just too spicy for them to contemplate. Score one for Dad getting to eat all of his own food for a change.
