I have had McNuggets exactly once -- in 1983, when they were introduced. At the time, all I could think was that if I were hooked up to an EEG while "enjoying" McNuggets, the readout would probably be completely flat lines.

You eat McNuggets because of the free sauces you get with them, Bixa  |

At the corporate canteen when my company was in an office tower, there were always the most incredibly diverse mixed vegetable 'salads' in the starters section which were clearly based on the previous day's menu. Errrggggg....  |

Not really to avoid, but strange nevertheless.
I'm staying at a fairly upmarket hotel in Bandung and yesterday, befre the show started we had a lunch buffet.
I reallu tucked into the potatoe gratin.
This morning it reappeared as potatoes a la provencale, with a bit of parsley sprinkled over it. Was still quite tasty.

Waste not, want not.
At least at a buffet, you have the possibility of choosing the item or not.

The lunches I've been having aren't actually that good.

Everyone knows that Mickey D's nuggets are "pieces-parts". Perhaps that's part of their appeal - no chewing necessary, they are pre-chewed.... |

And just about pre-digested.

Items to avoid?
Anything French apart from baguette.

seulement marc, ce n'est pas très gentil.  You must not be very happy if you head westwards to the Maghreb... Nothing at all you like in the francophone food canon? That makes me sad. Oh, that is why we haven't heard from spindrift - (we have heard from deyana). Was wondering where spindrift had gone... |

Dahuffy. (reply to above question)
I am surprised that Asian restaurants have never found an appealing word in English (or French or a number of other languages) for intestines. Often on a menu, you will see "soup with intestines" or "intestines and vegetables" and it just sends a lot of people running in the opposite direction. You would think they would learn to rename them "inner treasures" or "tender morsels" or some such to get people to at least TRY them.

Isn't chitterlings, aka chittlins, the only word in English for intestines-as-food?
Emperor's Five Phoenix Chitterling Soup
Mandarin Chittlin
Happy Family Intestine Hot Pot
Yeah, something besides "intestine" does sound better.

Isn't "tripe" the word in English?
(Still doesn't sound good.)

Tripe -
The stomach lining of a cow, pig or sheep.

I think the proper term is "offall" isn't it?
And I hope that euphemisms are NOT adopted for guts, as I would prefer NOT to eat them, whatever they're called.

No, offal refers to other stuff besides just the intestines: www.offalgood.com/what-is-offalAnd really, you'll miss out on some awfully good eating by refusing to eat any offal. Any meat you eat is corpse, so what does it matter? |

Post by Kimby on Dec 24, 2010 18:05:28 GMT
Yeah, but muscles aren't throughways for sh*t.
Sorry, but offal sounds awful to me, not matter how good it might taste.
I'm happy to leave it to those who love it.

Thank you, Kimby. I am one of those people who are really glad that we don't all like to eat the same things, that we all don't want to go on vacation at the same time, that we all don't want to travel to the same places.
