Would you eat a meat you werent excited about to be polite as a dinner guest ?



I ate shark kabob unwillingly but as it turned out I enjoyed it.

Alligator was good too.



They sell a lot of Bison here but I cant bring myself to try it.

Yup! I've eaten Emu before just to be polite. It wasn't bad, but not really my first choice.

Yes since I am the type of person who will try just about anything once.

Rattlesnake, Not bad taste like chicken.

Depending on what it was I may take a small(teeny tiny) bite and if I didn't like it I wouldn't eat it. I guess I'm not a very polite dinner guest. Same thing with anything else, if I know I don't like it, I won't eat it.

I can't believe you haven't eatan Bison Nomad. Tastes pretty much just like beef but tends to be tougher.

This is a thread for discussing etiquette at table, chonsi, not bedroom favouritism.

:wah: Oh spot!

I have been at a fancy wedding dinner, they had eel, sea urchin and some other yucky things in the dishes. It was my brother's wedding supper. Even though the whole family was sitting there, I wouldn't eat that stuff. Polite about it, picked out the veggies, smiled, kicked my brother under the table as he snickered, and went home and ate some pizza.

I figure at my age, if I don't want to eat it, and can be polite about it, I'm not going to have any.

Nobody's brought up Rocky Mountain oysters?

These being, apparently, "buffalo, boar, or bull testicles. They are usually peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, sometimes pounded flat, then deep-fried".

Pounded flat? People can look at these things and not go pale?

They are very tasty Spot. I have had them hundreds of times including turkey testicles. I was even aa a Turkey testicle festival once, must have eaten 25 lbs. of them.

NO..!! No how no way I don't like most meat and will only eat a few select cuts. So being polite wouldn't work for me as I would probably gag on the meal if I didn't like it. :p

I have eaten frog-legs, goat, alligator, tripe, rabbit, venison, octopus (won ton soup)................but those days are over. I'm older now and can be stubborn about what I will eat. Dag-nabbit!









A seafood platter sure would be nice about now.

If you're ever given one, eat the eyes and ears first while it's still warm and before the fat congeals. The rest's meatier and equally edible cold.
