Ah... prairie oysters! Considered something of a delicacy around here, served at branding time. (Won't go near them myself, though. )

I happen to know people who regard squirrel heads as a delicacy. Only the fur is normally removed. They are usually served deep fried, or in a stew. Some prefer them pickled and put them in a big jar of brine like boiled eggs. The sight can be vaguely disturbing - although children find it mesmerizing.

I take it you're from the south. Only southerners seem to think anything is edible if you deep fry it or pickle it. For me, if it isn't a vegetable or fruit, it doesn't belong pickled.

Uncle Frank wasn't quite a vegetable, and no one inquired into his fruitiness, but he was pickled most of the time. :biggrin:

:smile: ... :smile: Hope you don't mind the abbreviation; I don't have room for enough of them. Maybe it's just because I'm seriously demented, but that just might be the funniest thing that I've seen on this site since I got here. :biggrin:

Don't worry about it, kid. It happens to all of us. The trick is to sober up first, slug the mouthwash, and make sure that nobody sees you leave. :biggrin:

Luckily, the pigs never complained.
(And it's gotten me out of a few speeding tickets.)

Yup its true.And the monkeys expire during the eating process, not preparation.

They take a monkey put it in a wooden box with only its head outside the box, then cut off its skull, and pour some hot oil on its brain. Then, every one digs in.

Btw , I am not kidding. The monkey's still screaming.

I guess that's one way to make sure you're being served fresh food. That has to be one of the most horrible things I've ever heard!

My mistake... I thought that the boiling oil done 'em in. Guess it's not as hot as I figured.

Well... it's pretty high-protein...
(I'm tempted to direct you to the movie "Hauser's Memory", but that would just be cruel.)

Since you're in this forum, it's probably too late to worry about that... :wink:
