What one likes and dislikes is usually a matter of personal taste. When it comes to meat and it's relatives, sometimes just knowing where it comes from is enough to make me stay away.

    Trademarked officially as SPAM. The famous, precooked, canned meat product that we know from dining nightmares and Monty Python sketches.

Spam's gelatinous glaze, or aspic, forms from the cooling of meat stock.

    Lamb brain

    In all my years assisting with autopsies, the brain was my favorite part to extract. However, you'd never catch me sauteing these with eggs on a Sunday morning.

    Ingredients: The brain of a little lamb.
    Preparation: Again, an internationally popular item for cuisine. There is also mention of Mario Batali's recipe for Lamb's Brain Ravioli on a few sites.

      Do you count Iceland as being part of Scandinavia?

      I sympathize on most of these but... man, foie gras is f-ing DELICIOUS. I know, I know, when you think about how it's actually obtained, it's super-gross, but when done right, it's like a creamy pile of succulent bacon.

        Last time I was in LA, a Turkish deli guy talked me into a tongue sandwich. It smelled really good; but I just couldn't eat it! I am also an avid sushi-eater, but I live right in the middle of the country right now. There's no such thing as "fresh fish", unless it was caught in a local lake.
