Happy Canada Day!

I don't know of anyone who makes fun of maple syrup. Not if they've had any of the real kind anyway :O
 
Dude, I'm moving to Canada... Ketchup chips just sound good for some reason.

Are these some things you Americans eat? Brains? And you make fun of bacon and maple syrup!?

sadly no, im not making fun of bacon, some people here do eat pig brains, kinda a country delicacy. not really a "southern" thing tho, they do it in Iowa/ Kansas to, pretty much wherever there's farms. I'd bet they do it in the more rural areas of Canada to.
 
Maple Syrup happens to be amazing... I won't lie about it.
 
My dad loves those foods that smell like shit when they're cooking; pig feet, chitlins, etc.

I was born and raised in Kansas. I never had brains. None of my friends or family ever had brains. No restaurant I ever went to served brains. <_>

well granted its not common, old people know about it, ask your parents or grandparents, if they're from Kansas and grew up on/ near a farm i'll bet ya they know about pig brains.(my step-dads families from Kansas, my step-grandparents used to tell me all about fried pig brains when i was a kid and gross me out.)

My grandmother said she's heard of it, but hasn't known anyone born and raised in Kansas who has had it.
 
I've never heard of anyone here eating brains. Well, some immigrants probably do but that's because it was a delicacy in their country of origin. I try to stay out of China town because I've seen more skinned rabbits hanging upside down in store windows than I'd care to think about.

Wtf is a chitlin? And pigs feet?... that's just a term right? Please tell me it's not actual feet.
 
...But, pigs have hooves.

OH GAWD WHY DID I GOOGLE IT?!

In this preparation, the feet of hogs are salted and smoked in the same manner as other pork cuts, such as hams and bacon, and can be prepared. They are then placed in tall glass jars and covered with a solution of hot brine containing vinegar, much in the manner of pickled vegetables such as cucumbers. This method allows them to be preserved without any need for refrigeration until the jar is opened.

lol my Nannys husband is from Louisiana and she cooked that shit for him all the time. You think the thought is nasty Mire, you should SMELL the houses while it's being cooked. GAGTASTIC.

And yea they looked like shrivled up dog treats. Like the cow hide treats you feed your dog sat in a jar of liquid for days on end. GROSS
 
During slavery, in order to maximize profits, slave owners commonly fed their slaves in the cheapest manner possible. At hog butchering time, the preferred cuts of meat were reserved for the master's use, with the remains, such as fatback, snouts, ears, neck bones, feet, and intestines given to the slaves for their consumption. Wealthier individuals considered pig innards (offal) as inedible and sometimes had them buried as garbage, but enterprising slaves would unearth them under cover of darkness and salvage them for the cook pot.

I guess when you've been made to eat them, you acquire a taste for them?

I just looked up chitlins... I'm going to be sick;

The viscera intestines of a pig that have been prepared as food.

Think of it as a holdover from the days when the concept of wasting meat would have gotten you significantly stranger looks than the concept of eating feet.

It's why we have things like headcheese, sausage, etc.

Though to be honest I find the concept of pickled pig's feet significantly less appealing than the various other things they can do with them. Like making headcheese and sausage, for example.
 
Headcheese is icky but sausage is yummy (depending on the meat). Stew is another "leftover" item that has since been made differently. I make my stew with fresh ingredients but it pretty much used to be a bunch of leftovers in a pot.
 
lmao if you don't like the idea of pigs feet, then i wouldn't suggest looking up "rocky mountain oysters" THATS gross.

Yeah, my father was a big proponent of "Whatcha-got Stew".

Me, not so much. I like to make my beef stew with fresh ingredients.... not whatever's left over in the fridge. ><
