Oddest type of meat that you enjoy eating.

I recently made Gristwurst, and regulary use a Taco-seasoned ground beef mix with beef heart. Very good stuff..it has almost zero fat. Heart is pure muscle after all. Mmm.
 
Anyone ever seen any of Ferran Adria's work? Best chef in the world by a stretch.. I'd love to go to "el bulli" (spelling), 22 courses of amazing texture and taste.

I'd love going to something with that many courses of unique food. Small portions obviously, but that would be very interesting. I love creative cooking.

All i'll say is google 'BALUT'

Intestines? I believe haggis is stomach stuffed with grains and organs, no? I'm of Scottish heritage and probably should know, but i really don't. I'd give it a go though. Sounds very bland. Might need hot sauce. :lol: Hmm...now when is the Scottish festival??

Maybe its the type I've tried but it tastes like a mouthful of salt with every bite

Well they are salty. That's part of the experience. Fishy saltiness. I use them in my pasta sauces as a secret ingredient. I'd never eat them by themselves though. That's just too much.

peeps from all over the world come to this its simpally amazing considering its hosted in a town with maby 1000 ish people living there
 
Haggis basically lamb offal liver, kidneys, heart. But every butcher will have his own recipie and may leave out or swap amounts of things around.
So all this is mixed with oatmeal and spices, and put into lambs intestine and then boiled.
The problem with it is if you've never tried it and you try one that isn't very good then it'll put you off, but when you know what a good one tastes like you'll want more.
A good one should be spicy.
I've tried it mixed with a bit of the chileman's naga snakebite, and haggis and hot sauce is very tasty
 
i thought it was cooked inside a sheeps stomach...either way I like the idea, never tried it but I enjoy most offal. strong gamey flavor & full of Vit B's to counteract my elbow bending habits.
