For me it was giblets n gravy on rice, now that is what I call snot rockets. We were pretty poor, so mom had to make do with what she had and giblets (chicken gizzards) were only ten cents a pound. My mom was a great cook, and could bake up a storm if she had the goods.

Well, I was goose hunting in North Dakota with some family and friends and we went to this bar. I will let the image say the rest. I will never try them again!

My daughter still likes chicken giblets with gravy on mashed potatos or on egg noodles. But I'll bet she never served them to my grandkids.

Just wondering...what is worse, the baalut or the San Miguel that you either drank for the courage to eat the baalut or to wash down the baalut??

I gotta think a few mouthfuls of "head cheese" when I was a kid and also blood sausage!...."head cheese"geletinous mass of chunks of a pigs head(and whatever else is in the stuff not really sure)...my grandmother loved the stuff!(she's been dead for 43 years god rest her soul)...man those old timers really ate weird...old country stuff no doubt!...she conned me into eating "head cheese' and "blood sausage" as a kid!...I watched a guy at local meat plant here in Hibbing(Fraboni's) make blood sausage back in the 70's...owner of the meat company had 55 gallons of blood from a pig and was stirring it with a paddle so it wouldn't "clot"...then he said he would add rice to the slimy glop and spices(mainly nutmeg I think)...that was the end of my blood sausage eating days...Lol! .....

Jonny you gave me a good laugh this morning. I forgot about blood sausage but that was only served at the grandparents who were both full blooded Germans who still talked to there friends in german when ever they chatted. I did try it ONCE. Head cheese NEVER.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMm head cheese. Love that stuff.

Sandnannd, Spoken like a true North Dakotan! I have seen head cheese but never made the leap. Where in North Dakota are you from?

what's the pic of? I'm from ND and the pic isn't coming up for me and I am very interested...

I'm from Bismarck, moved out here in 2000. Still like it back there. Hated it when I lived there, but now I wouldn't mind moving back. Miss the quite of ND, not so much the cold though.

Anyone ever tried Tiger Meat? Got it at butchers out there. It's raw hamber with seasoning and is cured. Put it on crackers. That's tastey too.

BigWade, It is a tee shirt from a bar in Upham North Dakota. They had a rocky mountain oyster feed every year. I was persuded to try one. The old saying that everything deep fried is good is not true in this case.

Upham -- holy smokes great waterfowling up there, but serisouly they aren't that bad, I went to college in Dickinson and had a bunch of friends that were from Montana and had ranches. Went out and helped them do the brandings and have them fresh over an open fire, not too bad, but then again, beer helps wash most things away

Tried it once, wasn't too bad

You are correct. My grandfather lives only 15 miles from the J Clark Sawyer refuge. I could sit up there all day without a gun and just watch in awe as the thousands of ducks and geese come off the water every morning. But of course the gun makes it so much more fun.

that it does, hunted that area for many many years....nothing better then fresh duck or goose...
