1Maryann 1314 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If you needed more reasons to include more organic vegetables and/or grassfed beef and free-range chicken, here it is. And most of these ingredient only show up on packaging as "enzymes", or "natural flavorings". Things like beaver anal gland juice, or paint chemicals used to make dressings, frostings, or coffee creamers appear whiter. http://m.thepostgame.com/blog/list/201307/15-grossest-things-youre-eating?page=#sT Link to post Share on other sites
Zoodles 224 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Wow.... And people are grossed out when I tell them I eat sardines with turnips for breakfast! Anal gland juice.... Link to post Share on other sites

Nadia B 2149 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Haha I got excited that people discuss food considered gross by most people outside the paleo frame. Like lamb kidneys. FYI -I am totally eating them. And spleen too. Ok, enough, let's stop here Link to post Share on other sites

I got excited at the title and came dashing in to see what gross things people are eating for fun! Link to post Share on other sites
Nadia B 2149 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 "Nadia will eat anything" that's right. Ok, several things that I have no guts to try, but are available at my local supermarket: - guinea pig (thaaaat's right) - jelly fish - soft shell turtle (ok, I've eaten the turtle but in a restaurant. Deboning and cutting it myself? aaawwwwww no) Let's have fun, people. Link to post Share on other sites
percypat 497 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I reckon I could eat guinea pig. Jelly fish ... mmm, think someone would have to prep it for me. The turtle I couldn't do. "Cute" doesn't usually stop me from eating something, but the thought of eating a turtle makes me sad! I don't have many gross things to brag about. I need to up my game Link to post Share on other sites
Nadia B 2149 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 On my not so gross list are alligator (my fav market) and sweetbreads. Link to post Share on other sites
1Maryann 1314 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Alligator is pretty common down here. A lot like pork IMHO. Dense, mild, white meat. My dogs go crazy for the gator jerky treats I buy them. Link to post Share on other sites
Nadia B 2149 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Expensive pork ahah Link to post Share on other sites
MrsRobinson 322 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Guinea pig is pretty common in a lot of countries because it is easily hutch-raised and you don't need a lot of space. My friend who has had it said it isn't bad. I just laugh at those articles about processed food now because we are totally shut of it. So they can make it out of aaaanything they want.

homerfrizzell 214 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 And today we had a snack of beef tongued braised in pickle juice wrapped in lettuce. Link to post Share on other sites
Freylah 96 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've eaten and enjoyed snails and frogs legs in France. I've not met a food I refused to try but I'm hoping that I am never presented with a breakfast of chicken feet like my poor friend was ( and had to eat them ) Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators ultrarunnergirl 1617 Posted July 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2013 And today we had a snack of beef tongued braised in pickle juice wrapped in lettuce. Beef tongue! Who knew it was SO FREAKING delicious? I think it is one of my favorite things to make. I'm less enamoured of beef heart, but I am going to try making jerky out of my next one.

Sharon Simpson Thumann 378 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I've enjoyed frog legs from my Momas kitchen, same with gator, turtle and rabbit. I don't think I could eat guinea pigs though.. Eww..just Eww! Link to post Share on other sites
homerfrizzell 214 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'm less enamoured of beef heart, but I am going to try making jerky out of my next one. I've made a jerky of deer heart for deer camp - so long as you trim the fatty bits you are good to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Ravin 47 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 At least four of the things on that article's list I just can't see getting excited about. maggots and carmine--many, many insects and their larvae are perfectly edible and entirely paleo compatible. bacteria--there is bacteria on everything. If it's not in sufficient quantity of varieties that make you ill, so what? beaver gland juice--this is weird, but I'd eat the other parts of the beaver so why the heck not? "Gross" is decidedly subjective. Link to post Share on other sites
