Quote My Dad brought home weird stuff: Limberger cheese, cow tongue, you name it, just to see if I would eat it and watch the rest of the family gross out when I did.


Gee -- those were common foods in my childhood. My Grandma used to have what she called "stinky parties" on her front porch and we ate sandwiches made of limberger cheese and red onions on rye bread. Yummmmmm! Of course, unless you were eating them, you didn't want to be anywhere near the gathering!! My Dad made cow tongue on a regular basis. I thought it was normal. ;-)

YESSSS!!!!! I will even up you one! I will cook the bacon right at the gathering on a grill cause grilled flesh over an open flame is WAY better then cooked on a stove! :-)

MMMM hot grilled swine!!!!

See...I knew I liked you. Should I bring some scallops to wrap up with the bacon? It'll be the swankiest gathering ever.

I made the mistake of attending Body Worlds 2 back in December. Haven't managed to eat meat since.


You're kidding! Those bodies didn't even look real (yes, I know they were, but they didn't look it)! I ended up being totally bored by the exhibit - and not feeling well because parts of the museum were SOOOO hot.

Folks will recognize us at any gathering we go to. We'll be the two in the corner, snacking on bacon.


I love fruit, but I love bacon too. Can I join you in the corner? 'Cause if not, I'd just have to tackle one of you for the bacon. ;)

Bacon is good but I like my steak rare enough that a well-trained veterinarian can bring it back to life

If you wrap the bacon around a piece of sausage, I'll be there too! Bonus points if you put it on a stick.

Mmmmmmmmm.....

So does having it on a stick make you feel less of a savage or more of one?

I don't think savage has anything to do with it. Every food tastes better on a stick - everyone knows that! :)

Someone I know is having a potluck but everything has to be on a stick! His name is Mad Martian Mike and he likes the strange and fun.

I'm thinking of bringing salad on a stick. A couple of pieces of lettuce, a piece of celery, a piece of yellow pepper, maybe half a grape tomato.

I'm thinking, yeah.

I don't know - an 8 hour drive by myself?? There had better be a heck of a lot of bacon! :) I did look at the list of who is going to be there - there a lot of boxers there I would love to meet. I'll definitely think about it.

Yes! Bacon, I can buy in bulk!!! I would assure you that it would be worth the drive! The park is Awesome There are over 50 boxes in the park and that is before The Gathering Boxes are planted! There Is more than enough stuff to do around here (Buffalo/Niagara Falls) to really Make a vacation out of it! And I am positive there will be a alot of people coming that haven't added their names yet! I know that this is going to turn into an all weekend event. The Main event will be Saturday But there will be things going on ALL weekend!! I am so excited. I know Sprite is waiting till after school is out to really get rocking on the planning! I have already reserved the choice shelter in the park for the event!!!!
Here is a couple links where you can check out the park!

Come one and All Let us show you that Buffalo Gets a bad rap and is actually an AWESOME place!

As for the driving by yourself thing, Why not try to head out this way with a couple other boxers from your area! Make it an exodus! :-)

Quote but as for the fruit itself I can't stand it!!!! It literally makes me gag.


My son is like this about potatoes. Has been ever since he was an infant eating that mushy stuff in jars - he would eat anything out of those jars, except something that had potato in it. Occassionally he will eat some McDonald's french fries (yeah, right, like there's actually potato in those - fried grease more like it !!) but that's it. No mashed potatoes swimming in butter, nothing.

I can't eat raisins. I have been known to choke down a few to save embarrassment in a social situation, but that's it. I don't even like to touch them - in fact, I don't - I buy my kids the little boxes, so I can hand them a box. I can't eat trail mix with raisins - if it's touched a raisin, it tastes like raisins. *shudder*

Mama Fox - Raisin free and lovin' it!!

Husband is lacto/ovo vegetarian. We check everything for hidden gelatin, (some energy bars, yogurt, sour cream, many dips, etc) he only cheats when it comes to some cheeses with animal enzymes. Wife, on the other hand, loves rib eye and bacon, but eats very little of it. We love Mexican, Indian, and Thai foods. We're blessed that we work well together in the kitchen, but Husband admits that I'm the "Culinary Queen", so he chops and I wok!

Notes from a meat eating wife: I only cook meat in one small cast iron skillet, on a camp stove outside on our porch (we don't have a bbq yet). I will call friends and ask if they'd "like to go eat meat with me?", and sometimes I get uniquely cranky in a way that my wonderful husband will ask if I need to eat some meat!

My mom cooked cow tongue once & I loved it, but I guess nobody else did cause we never had it again.... Every once in a while I try telling my kids it's really really good, but they never believe me.
(and of course the boy won't eat anything that has a face anyway....)

In high school, my boyfriend's granmother made him a tongue sandwich... with the tastebuds still on and everything (they were a mexican family), and it totally grossed BOTH of us out... I never eat anything that can taste me back!! Yucky... I do not eat anything that can see me either... no eyeballs on anything! Yucky!!!!

Oooooo, that sounds pretty cool! I'm wondering if that might be the way to get my 6 yr. old to eat more green stuff! He is strictly junk food, quesidillas, chicken nuggets, and fruit ( thank goodness! ). His favorite fruit HAS to be Kiwi!

I have been trying to go veggie for almost a year now, but my steak fetish seems to be holding me back! LOL!!! That is the one meat that I like. I don't really care about hamburgers, or stuff like that, just steak. I HATE chicken, don't like seafood all that much, and have never been that big on pork ( although I do like some crispy bacon on occasion! ). The steak seems to be the only thing that keeps me completely vegitarian! And, I have been able to go a couple of weeks without it, but that's about it!

Ooooo, I bought a container of strawberries last week, brought them home and ate them while I was standing at the kitchen sink. I barely got the frozen food put away before I started in on them.

Yuuummmmm!
