Stews and sausages were all made so that the non-prime cuts could be consumed. Same with hot dogs. Ever wonder what you actually consumed?

So a Mexican Captain Planet?

Yo no soy marinero...soy Capitan!

I had Rocky Mountain Oysters when I was on a hunting trip in Nebraska. They actually tasted like and had the same texture as calamari. They even included a Marinara sauce, plus a Jamaican jerk sauce.

But I'll stick with fried calamari Rhode Island style.

Have you tried Portuguese calamari? Was never the biggest calamari fan, but after having Portuguese calamari at Gigi's in Attleboro, I have no desire to eat regular calamari anymore. So much better.

I like it, but there's just something about fried cherry peppers and sauce.

I've had uni, raw sea urchin bits, and it wasn't too bad

I was stuck on a beach in Tierra del Fuego for three days once, pretty much out of food. There were some fisherman anchored offshore, and we were so hungry we bought a large bag of urchins off of them and subsisted on gonads until a boat was was able to finally pick us up. I can still taste those things.

Would also highly recommend trying the calamari at Black Salt in Swansea. Also different than "regular", but so good.

I’d rather starve than eats “balls”!

I think, when you're really hungry, you'll say something like:


"I’d rather eat"

“I’d give my left nut for some balls right now.”

FIFY

Yeah. Just a little hiccup on an otherwise pleasant jaunt across the Strait of Magellan.

There has to be so much more to the story.

I'll send you some "calf fries" if you tell the whole story. I'll even throw in some ranch dressing (probably Kraft, I don't want to be too bougie).

I hope Hammer67 doesn’t mind me telling our story in a public forum.
We had just finished reading Gullivers travels in our book club. We had both noticed hidden messages in the writing. Both of us coming to the same conclusion. Lilliput was real and it was one of the islands around the Strait of Magellan.
The messages also seemed to point to the Lilliputians as having knowledge of the fountain of youth.
All the other members of the book club were 80+ year old women. After hearing our theories the ladies pooled their money (because they could feel the reaper hounding them daily). And sent us to track down those little bastards and find the fountain of youth.
Being old ladies (most of them spinsters), they didn’t have a lot of cheddar to fund the mission. The flight from the US down south wasn’t bad. We landed in northern Chile. But then we had to ride thunderbirds the rest of the way. It would have been okay if they hadn’t been infested with lice or mites or whatever those itchy bugs were.
Anywho… upon landing around the strait we failed to hobble our thunderbirds and they just up and left us.
We searched and searched. Swimming from island to island. And we found them.
We were out of food by then but the Lilliputians were gracious hosts and prepared a grand feast for us. But they are tiny and so was their lame ass feast.
We inquired about the fountain of youth and they took us to a spring. But just before we drank from it we realized that there had been a slight mistranslation in one of our clues. The water doesn’t make you younger, it makes you smaller. Hammer67 was pissed! He started stomping on all the Lilliputians. Or “Lilliliars” as he called them. After the last one was dead he went and pissed in the spring.
Then we wandered for a couple more days, bought and ate urchins, eventually got cell signal and got a boat ride out of there.
Good times.

Glad to see the meds are working, thanks for clearing everything up.

Good sir, you have succeeded where many others have failed. I now want to read "Gulliver's Travels" for the first time. I raise a healthy tumbler of tequila, lime and kudos in your general direction.

That’s the product of 60+ hour work weeks.

Rather sadly, I’m sober.
