  I had to be pretty careful in the Philippines with blood sausages, blood sauces and such. Just watch out for the word Chocolate which means blood. I personally cant eat it. ANycase I personally love Deer Heart. Its more of a local delicacy and Ive never seen it eaten anywhere else. I also like Sisig, which is pig parts combined, soaked and fried, YUM YUM!

Being in Oklahoma I had to go through UPS to get some blood sausage for a St. Patrick's day Irish Breakfast I wanted to make. The black and white puddings were good but I really really like "Bangers" which are European-style sausages mixed with a kind of oatmeal in the casing. I like how they kind of mellow out the strong meaty taste of sausage. What I made is below and includes slices of black and white pudding, Irish Bacon, Homemade Irish Soda Bread that I fried, mushrooms, tomatoes, and of course eggs:

I don't know.   Maybe pickled greenbeans, sour krout on brats, or german potatoe salad.    hard to tell because if it's common you don't think much about it unless you're not home for a long while.

It's not all that common, but there is a lot of alligator tail meat eaten here in southern US.  It tastes like mildly fishy chicken.

European sausages = yummy tastyness. i especially like the Cumberland Sausages.

I find black pudding a bit salty personally.

Soda bread is very interesting and makes a nice change to regular bread.

 

To add to this topic i know in some parts of America is the practice to lightly cook a small pig then carve it up at the table - thing is apparently the pig is still alive, not sure if this is true or not tho

I've eaten eyes, tongue, spiders, crickets, ants, scorpions and plenty other strange insects. I went to a restaurant while on vacation, and they were having a huge party. There were tons of different weird foods. One of the chefs wanted to try something different, and wanted people to try these weird foods. And to make the insects and other stuff more appealing, they covered stuff up in sauce, dough and other ingredients.



Only thing I didn't like were eyes...it was weird. The other stuff was surprisingly good though. A lot of the people were hesitant of course, but after a while, most were enjoying it.
