Here in the southwest the only sweet bread I know is 'pan dulce.' http://www.frugallawstudent.com/2007/06/02/cheap-treat-mexican-sweet-bread/ Have you tried tripitas (cow intestines), buche (pigs stomach), or morzilla (blood sausages)? hmm sounds ugghhh. I have tried the first two by accident .....i didn't know what they were. The cow intestines are not bad, but I can't get over on the intestine part. They also smell awful as they are cooked. Then again I enjoy liver once in a while and its probably just as gross. I must get out more. Here in the southwest the only sweet bread I know is ‘pan dulce.’

That's his name, Andrew Zimmern. I love watching that guy eat. I know I'm a freak though...I think I just like to live vicariously through others. I actually enjoy looking at hundreds of vacation photos that other people take. I need a hobby perhaps? I think you just confessed to having eatten boogers…

Oh yeah, major texture issues going on with you. I can understand that. Oysters are, in fact, like boogers. Cooked spinach? really? That one is interesting to me. PUDDING? OH come on! Who doesn't like pudding?! ;) Yeah, that's odd that you can watch Andrew Zimmern make those food smacking noises as he sucks down tree worms. You just inspired me to write about something. And you're spot on with the instant reaction of people upon tasting something they either love or hate. Tiffany,

Honest to god thought it was chocolate mousse since my nose was stuffed up. Plopped a big ol' mouthfull of whipped up beef liver pate' in my mouth and seriously threw up immediatly in a nearby ficus. Oysters Sushi Calamari Okay...I have a serious seafood allergy - but even if I didn't, no way am I shoving something that slimey and/or chewy into my mouth! Cooked Spinach Creamed Corn Pudding Jello Oh I could go on. Really if it's slimy or squishy, has eyeballs I don't know. It's not for me! What's crazy is that I LOVE that show where the bald guy eats crazy stuff from all over the world too. I adore watching other people eat. There is something so personal about it. Is that totally bizarre? I promise I don't sit around in restaurants getting my jollies by staring at people or anything, but I like to see people's faces when they really love something, and likewise when they don't. That first instant reaction is very real - no pretense. Pate’ (or however one spells it) which I accidently tried once. Honest to god thought it was chocolate mousse since my nose was stuffed up.

Unfortunately. Brenda - Never tried haggis before. Oy, I'm not sure I could cut upon an animal's stomach and see all the food in there without paling. If this makes me a wimp...I admit as much. Have you eaten it? And tell us more about the secret passageway, please! Tiffany - what other foods would you not eat based on texture alone? MsSingleMama - See, I just knew you'd dig the tunnel/secret passageway idea. Because you're as cool as a dude. QT – I meant the gland. Unfortunately.

I really like how he let the subjects retain their dignity in death. It was very nicely, and respectfully done. As I've shared my food/texture issues with you I'm sure it's no surprise I would NEVER eat sweetbreads. LOL... n-e-v-e-r I've always wanted an old house with some kind of secret space, or even just a cool attic with one of those pull down ladders. I like the idea of it.

That first photo exhibit with the people who had recently died made me cry. Good thing you followed it up with the cute birds and cats :) Never had sweetbreads...not much of a meat eater :) But have you tried Haggis? http://www.vimeo.com/62896 Yeah, they pipe it in for the Burn's Supper. Yes, I've been to one :) My grandparents had a secret passageway. I never knew about it until my grandmother died last year. Wow.
