In SF it has to be El Farolito at 24th and Mission. Lengua y chorizo burritos at 4 am all week long.

Definitely Balut, which is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.

The first one was not a very pleasant experience. There was not a second one.

I make a mean bacon, cream cheese and bagel sandwich. Not really kosher, but damn delicious.

Also as a kid, my sis and I used to take every ingredient/condiment on the table and dump it into water and dare the other one to drink it.

what about the buttered turnips recipe? That sounds interesting.

Maybe using seitan chorizo would make the last dish vegetarian, but all the chorizo I've ever had is definitely animal based. And by animal based, I mean usually gristle and fat and delicious.

Thanks for all your ideas! The reason I had asked for some help with ideas was that I was invited to a "Iron-Chef theme party" where Mango was the special ingredient, and I had never used it before. Everyone's dishes were super creative and delicious! I ended up making a green-mango salad, with red cabbage, shallots, garlic, fish sauce, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. It was very fresh and crispy, didn't take any prizes, but was completely devoured, so that says enough.

bacon and tomato and miracle whip sandwich on wonder bread!

It's got to be crispy. Anything else is sacrilegious and lazy.

My roommate once made bacon brittle. It was one of the most ridiculous dishes I've ever eaten and I loved every artery-clogging moment of it.

Sweet baby jesus, I would love this club.

Dark! Dark, dark with gravy on toast.

just had one last night after reading this after work at Lucky Strike. I forgot how much I loved these.
