Center, Univ. of Texas at Austin Lines: 35 <- the BUG's alive and well ... disgusting, isn't it ???? I did take offense of colonel@gloria's posting under this heading, where he describes the "poor man's omelett", and says that "it's not worth taking a picture off" (more or less). That's defamation of one of my most favorite fast and filling dishes !!!! Just add some more coloring vegies, like tomatoes peppers, onions, etc, and it looks no longer like a yellow gue with some witish spots (-: Also, I can't believe that someone thinks that Eureka's slugfest can beat Austin's Spam-Festival. As long as anyone still takes a bite out of it, it can't be that bad; besides, aren't slugs related to "escargot" ? Famous French relatives, slugs that moved up to own their own house? Don't knock slugs .... Remember, nobody gave Californian wines the benefit of the doubt either ... (actually, all we European wine-buffs knew the stuff would turn out great after a few years, with that kind of climate and soil, there never was a doubt. too bad the prices turned into a rip-off, just like US-beer) For todays entry, some more stuff you may find disgusting, but which I've eaten: South American: Fried Brains (Sesos Fritos) Panama: Baby Eel Salad German: Pigs Feet, Cow Tongue, Chicken Neck Argentine: Polyp in Ink With the moto: If you can't stand the sight and idea, don't ask question, close your eyes, and eat it. It's probably good. werner @ 3 feet from the fridge and kitchen What's a blood-oozing, swollen and burnt piece of meat? Yeeechhhh, steak again
