It's so hard to believe, that such a popular product, isn't available everywhere.

Well, it's only really popular in the US and those who acquired a taste when visiting, isn't it. I mean, you don't get Fag.gots (Not the offensive term but the offal cake, before a mod has a heart attack) and Kendal Mint Cake and they're pretty popular over here. I suppose it's a relative thing. When you love something so much you can't understand why it's not a universal thing, lol.

I have never seen Big Red outside of Texas. I had no idea it was even available elsewhere!

Oh yeah, we've always had it here. I'm not much of a cream soda guy though. I remember drinking it as a kid, but haven't had one in years.

Never heard of Fag.gots. Like a Twinkie or something?

My "thing" is TAB. It's my calling card, and I'm well known for being a TAB whore. Also, a TAB hoarder. I usually have about 35-40 12-packs of it on hand. Okay, I'm cheap, right? It's normally $5.50/12pack!!! Coke always puts it on sale on holiday weekends, usually for about $2.50, so I stock up then! Yes, I rotate my stock, so it doesn't go bad....

It will be an ugly day for the world, if they ever stop making my beloved TAB. Someone's goin' down, like a cheap hooker!

Not even close to Twinkies lol. They're basically Offal (The bits they don't use for main meat products like Liver, Hearts, Stomach, etc), minced up and mixed with Breadcrumbs and Herbs before being balled, wrapped in Caul fat and baked.

I don't know what Offal is...so it's like liverwurst or something?

Speaking of liver, since my charcoal and wood chips were still hot, I smoked some chicken livers! Talk about taste that will smack you in the face!

I don't know what Liverwurst is lol. Offal is the waste parts of Animals. Such as organs and the parts of the meat that wouldn't go into your main meat products. Pretty much anything your Dog would eat lol.

Well, we have that here, too. One version is called headcheese. Yeah, basically the guts and brains, and testes, etc....

Supposedly cheap hotdogs contain these things, too...

We also have braunschweiger, too. I'm not even sure what's in it, but it's a white trash delicacy! Every couple of years, I'll get a roll of it, and a bunch of saltines, and have at it!

Okay, curiosity killed the cat....

Okay. Now I feel sick

. I'm lucky I'm vegetarian so I can avoid the crap meat eaters can ingest. I don't see much offence being taken from Broccollicheese or Lettuceweiger lol.

That said, it's getting cold here now,

and I'm CRAVING winter "Mom" foods. I try to allow myself these comfort foods, one day a week. Beef stew is first on my list!
Lettuceweiger probably won't make the list!

SuperFleetwood · #**7707** 10-29-2011, 08:05 PM

Hows everyone doing?

Happy Halloween!!!!

I LOVE offal, prefer kidneys to liver though. Mmmm, Steak & Kidney Pie, my mouth is watering!

I even like Haggis and Black Pudding!

I'm not a picky eater!

You even like it? It's hardly extreme - haha. It's lovely!! So good for you too. For those who are now freaking out, it is not made with the lining of sheep's stomach! It hasn't been cooked that way for years and years even when done more traditionally. As it is, all it is is eseentially is ground meat with spices in a casing. Lovely.

I have a deadline to meet for tuesday and no motivation to do the work at all.
