    The reason I put it in the early 60s is that I moved to Kentucky from West Tennessee in 1962, and the campaign started while I was in Tennessee. But it could very well have lasted longer than I remember, which could account for your memory of a later date.

    I don't remember our family having corn relish in the house, but we had plenty of catsup. I grew out of it. Now that I've reached geezerhood, it's catsup for hamburgers and french fries, but little else.

    This thread, though, is stirring up that old sense of adventure.

    I've eaten camel meat.
    "Shish-kabob" made out of liver tasted pretty good.
    If you are to eat what ever is set before you asking no questions for conscience sake, would you be opposed to eat bone marrow from the calf of a cow--the lower part just above the hoof? I've had a taste of that.
    Some of the dishes I have had I can't describe to you because I only know them by their native name (not in English), and some are not native to America.
    The squid I had was ok. At least it wasn't rubbery.
    My son and I had duck egg once.

    Those are just odd or strange foods.
    As to oddities, my kids think I am crazy when I put salt on my watermelon.

    Thanks for all the translations, Roger! Yes, chips (in the British sense) are sometimes called "fries" or "French fries" here. American "chips" (very thin slices of potato fried until they are crisp) are called "crisps" here.

    I just hope that the various theological terms that we use all the time on this Board don't similarly vary in meaning according to which English-speaking country you happen to be in! :) :)

    I don't know how to spell it John but do you eat "baloot"(sp)? It is an egg that is developed that is eaten like a boiled egg. I got a buddy who loves those things.

    I get a kick out of folks who come over from the States dealing with the terms. I once had someone order a sandwich with some chips, and of course, the brought them chips, while they were expecting crisps ;).

    Sometimes I am nice and help them out, sometimes I err, forget to mention the differences.

    Here is a good one - the word pudding.

    Do Americans (who have not been over here) know what the following are? BTW they are very different.

    Black pudding
    Christmas pudding

    Do my brethren who speak don't speak American English know what chocolate pudding is?

    About the only pudding both sides would know as the same is rice pudding :).

    And sadly David, sometimes the theological terms do have light variations between the States and over here.

    Nope. Baloot is from the Phillipines--thank God! It's bad enough that I occasionally have to eat natto, which is fermented bean paste!

    Calpis is good, though, a Japanese drink made from fermented milk.

    Having traveled extensively in China, Japan, and other Asian countries, I've actually become a fan of natto. Compared to coagulated pigs blood (served warm in jello like chunks), rooster testicles (much bigger than you'd think), bone marrow (served long and chewy), various roasted insect larvae, and so on, I'm down with fermented soy beans.

    Bone marrow is a standard part of French country cuisine. I've been adding bones to stews for years, so did my mother. After it's cooked, you scoop it out, smear it on toast, and sprinkle a little salt. Delicious! My kids love it, too!
    I made a Yorkshire pudding for DH and myself once, with some good beef gravy. He wasn't expecting a "pudding" like a huge chunk of bread like that!

    Love,

    I dip my french fries in tartar sauce.

    I like a slice of cheese on my pumpkin pie.

    I stir a raw egg in my boiling Ramen - gives it body.

    Cheeseburgers are delicious with mayo, lettuce, and tomato.

    I put salt on my watermelon.

    I like cheese and onion sandwiches with mayo.

    I like my spaghetti with butter on it - no sauce.

    I like my salad with salt on it - no dressing.

    And I don't think any of these things are wierd... :laugh:

    I saw a program once where some people for a delicacy they would put a live monkey in a hole in the middle of the table, give everyone a hammer and spoon and they hit the monkey in the head to kill it and eat its brains :tear: Now beat that one!

    RE: Odd eating habits

    The new wave of eating foreign food has even gotten to the hillbilles in eastern Kentucky, western West Virginia. Yesterday I had sweet and sour Pig's feet. They were better than the O'Possum Fajiter's we had last week!!! :laugh: :laugh: I heard this on the radio about three years ago and thought it was HILAROUS!! I laughed my tail off, and at 270+ lbs, that's A LOT O' tail!!
