You had me at "honey brine."
Do You Like Eating Pie Crust By Itself?
If I only eat the crust, it's because something went wrong with the filling.
Pumpkin Pie Ideas Needed
I have no problem admitting this...but I use the recipe on the back of the Libby's canned pumpkin.

Perfect, in season strawberries.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
I buy a ton (or what feels like it) of lemons in the Italian Market, let them get really ripe, and then when they are getting soft, I squeeze the bejesus out of them. Add water and sugar to taste. A few limes add a nice mix.

A Spicy Chicken Sandwich meal from Wendy's - no mayo, add cheese, and substitute a Frosty for the drink.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain

If Chartreuse doesn't man it up, at least it'll make it easier to digest.
The Bible Bar Contains the Seven Foods of Deuteronomy 8:8
I found these for the first time a few years back in Garland of Letters, a New Age-y store on South Street in Philadelphia. I immediately bought them.
Taste Result: TERRIBLE. They are absolutely horrible. I think I'd actually rather eat a real Bible before chowing down on one of these blasphemous bars.

I will overdose on adorable.
Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
My Nana slaughters her own pigs on her property on Long Island. No bacon I have had since will ever come close.
Dear AHT: Best Burgers in Philly?
didn't want to overload on burgers and I was staying in S. Philly so I went with the Royal Tavern's fine fine fine burger. delicious, cooked rare, plenty of condiments. that is a classy joint.
Dear AHT: Best Burgers in Philly?
Grace used to hold the Philly top spot for me too. But calling a burger the best in Philly isn't saying much.
But I recently had the burger at Village Whiskey, and it is not just the best burger in Philadelphia -- it is easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. Get there. Now.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I grew up eating tripe and vastedda (stomach lining and spleen), I have also tried testicles (a bit chewy), aligator, kangaroo, etc...pretty much anything, except for any kind of insects!

On a business trip to the Philippines my local coworkers insisted on me trying the local delicacy of Balut(fetal duck egg). While this may sound like the most exotic i'd have to say that really it was later in the night when i ate some chicharon bulaklak which is deep fried and is apparently a fatty sack that covers the small intestine of a pig. It was actually quite good and definitely better than the balut.

snake 4 ways (soup, stir-fry, deep-fry, blood mixed with vodka as a shot, - taiwan
crickets stuffed with french fries and deep friend - taiwan
live fish with only head half deep-fried, tail half served raw - taiwan
bull penis / turkey testicle - ny (izakaya place)
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Live grubs in the Amazon. You turn them inside out with a stick, and eat the fatty insides, spitting out the hard head. Yum-o (not).
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Dog cooked in a spicy stew. Raw sea urchin eggs (scooped up from freshly cracked live urchin) - very intense saline taste. Japanese squid shiokara (salted, fermented seafood - very, very slimy). On a similar note: bakasang from the North Sulawesi region of Indonesia (a grey sludge of a very pungent condiment made of salted, fermented fish, similar to bagoong from the Phillipines).
Plus other foods considered extreme by others (based on the comments here), but completely normal for me:
- cow tongue, brain, tripe, heart
- pork ear, blood, feet/hock
- chicken feet, intestines (deep fried, they're great snacks!), gizzard, liver, heart
- goat's feet
- bats (body and wings)
- 'thousand year' eggs
- durian! (luv' em since I was a kid)
- sea cucumber, jellyfish, etc.
But I do have my limits: no bugs, larvae, worms and other creepy crawlies...

the Phaal at Brick Lane Curry House in NYC. I've finished it three times. The vegetable version hurt the most.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I make chicken and duck feet every once and a while, but some friends and I are really struggling to give Balut Eggs a shot. There's nothing I won't try, but the likely issue of texture scares the hell out of me.
