Bull tenders? You mean like what we call "Rocky Mountain Oysters"? Which are usually a Bull testicles. Yes I have tried, them, no they are not good.
We call them "Tubaros" in Portuguese. I'm not a great fan. Yesterday I hate pork's "pernil. It's the pork upper leg. delicious. it's like eating a fresh ham. Actually, that's what it is. I believe I lost the "full" sensation today around 4PM... Cheers...
I beg to differ, it is the preparation not simply the fact they are testicles. Those which I have enjoyed since the age of eight have always been tasty, but that said I have had some which were poorly prepared, not washed and rinsed well, and the membrane not removed before frying. Nasty. In a nice beer batter, sliced thin, and served hot they taste very much like abalone, but a little less "chewy".
I posted a joke (not mine) on the Jokes thread in this vein: One day, an American was touring Spain. After his day's sightseeing, he stopped at a local restaurant. While sipping his wine, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, "What is that you just served?" The waiter replied, " Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are bulls balls from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!" The American, though momentarily daunted when he learned the origin of the dish said, "What the heck, I'm on vacation! Bring me an order!" The waiter replied, "I am so sorry, senor. There is only one serving a day since there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early tomorrow and place your order, we will be sure to serve you this delicacy!" The next morning, the American returned, placed his order and was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, and inspecting the contents of h! is platter, He called to the waiter and said, "These are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday!" The waiter promptly replied, "Si, senor! Sometimes the bull wins!" From (The Humor Bin): The Humor Bin - Bull's Balls
Ever since I saw how Baloney was made--I never ate it again. Have had Rabbit, Lamb, Deer, Quail, Javalina etc-Deer was OK, Hackfleish (Lamb) was great, Quail was OK and Javalina was very greasy but great none the less.
If you ever come here, You'd be surprised how you'd love to taste food that you wouldn't think of if I only described it to you here
Heh heh, though I loathe McDonalds--i'm glad they are established in France. ;-)) I'm as finicky as a Cat is-when it comes to what i'll gnaw on. I'll also bring w/ me, plenty of John Wayne brand Beef Jerky w/ me. ;-)) PS, there really is a brand of Jerky that is out there that is named after John Wayne ;-)) Jason would love this if he read this? ;-))
I don't know, I'm generally surprised to discover I like things that don't sound too great. You would have thought by now I'd just have accepted that I'll eat almost anything though.
Another "dish" i'll never try is Sushi-or Steak Tartar. Raw aint for me as long as fire and electricity are around!
man are you serious, we have the best food in the world , you'd even learn from our barbecues. Our Sylvester party lasted 36 hours and we ate like kings and had the best wines and liquors that will not even be served in heaven . Add the sexy girls to that and you would never want to go home again. Why do you think I moved to this country and STAYED? Ever heard of the old German saying "wie Gott in Frankreich"? I have Texans visiting here all the time and they love the food , in fact they do nothing else than eat
Good ole Steak Tartar, ordered that once...about 18 years old...thought it was just differently cooked steak....Waitress says sir does realise it is served raw....me being me....of course.... Cheek, as if I wouldnt know that....was as sick as a dog for days....taught me never to bluff a waitress....
And Belgium aint bad if were talking food...they hide that one away...I love Belgian resteraunts....Give France a run for their money on French soup..
Best steak in the world as well! Carl, you do realise jerky is raw meat? It is dried rather than cooked, albeit with smoke to keep away insects and add flavour You can't seriously go to France, the home of good food and eat at McDonalds. Sushi is nice and I have had excellent steak tartar in France. I also rather like pickled fish and so on but then I was dragged up on herring so I guess that's kind of expected. Anyhow, on the subject of food, I currently have some venison marinading in wine in the kitchen ready to become a venison and wild mushroom stew this evening, it's going to be special!
Kill it first Stefan.....unless the marinading in wine is an attempt at drowing the thing...get a gun...
Stefan and mates on the town, Friday night....Most young guys make do with a traffic cone.... I may need your uniqique skills soon at lambing...Lots of them need errr..despatching if problems....Apparantly its my job this time...
Well, if there is free meat in it count me in, I'll happily help 'kill it, cook it and eat it' (a rubbish TV show btw).
