Thanks Yall!
Ok try most things once. Never been an organ person. No Liver, tripe, chitlins, etc. I can do chicken gizzards if I'm in the mood. No Rocky Mountain Oysters either.
I can buy them at the local Walmart... not that I ever would... yech! Oxtail is one of tastiest parts of the cow, and rather expensive now since it became a trendy restaurant meal. Tongue is okay, not high on my list, same with heart. Heart I cut in little fingers, bread it and deep fry, serve with hot sauce...
I was raised on beet greens and still can't get enough of them. Yes I prefer them with the young beets attached.

Mountain oysters are testicels from bulls , calf fries are testicels from young calves . Calf fries are better . Hog fries are good too ...ate plenty of all of them . Turkey testicles (turkey fries) are great ! Use to get em at feeds the oilfield supply stores put on once a year . You can't find em at the stores , they never hit the market locally and you have to buy em in bulk , huge demand for em . Great fried !
No turning back , No turning back !
Sweetbread is dang good ! Slice and fry slow with salt and pepper . Tastes kind of like a tender pork chop .
No turning back , No turning back !
I'll eat just about everything but I won't eat Brussel sprouts. I've them fixed many different ways and they're still awful. I don't care for beef liver. As a child I had enough zucchini to last a lifetime so I don't eat that either. That's about it for my 'No Fly' list.
Just curious, have you tried roasted brussels sprouts?

Tripe was mentioned . I have tried to fix tripe several times and failed to come up with anything I would do again . Tripe in itself is more or less tasteless , can be a 'filler' but to its self is just ..nothing . It works well in Tex Mex dishes , mainly menudo which I love if it's homemade but still just something to chew on , adds no flavor I can tell .
Tripe is cows stomach (pig stomach is called hog maws ) , cleaned cow tripe in a packing house . Found barbed wire , nails ,paper feed sacks and lots of 'stuff' in em . Oddest thig I ever found was a pair of panty hose and 35 cents change in one ..a quarter and a dime . There has to be a story there somewhere !

Chitlins... walked into a friends house where they were cooking them... I had to go outside because of the stench triggering my gag reflex... PASS, nope, not eating that!
Y'all are making me hungry!
Fried chitlins are a favorite, boiled not so much. Great fun can be had( disclaimer, we were in college at the time) by adding just a few corn kernels into the cleaned chitlins before battering and frying. Be sure your future wife does not get one of the specials, you'll never hear the end of the fun little joke! Ah, the good ideas you get after a few beers

In the last 3/4 century, I've tried almost everything offered. There is a rather small list of things I refuse as long as other fare is available. It appears that the younger you are the less variety we eat. Most younger folks have never known hunger. It has a way of changing your mind.
Information not shared. is wasted.
My kids during an unfortunate stretch of my life ate a number .....um..... Oregon trail blue plate specials . For one reason or another they aren't to awfully picky . Rumor has it that tule root salad with dandelion greens and jack rabbit will temper ones appreciation for anything else on the table after a week or 2 .

Pineapple and guacamole are the only two things I refuse....pineapple gives me projectile vomiting (allergic to it) and guacamole is nothing more than baby squeezin's, ain't eatin what gets left in a diaper no way, no how. At one time or another I've eaten bout everything that walks, crawls, swims or flies (except for people....far as I know anyway). Not much in vegetation I haven't had as well.
An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."
Ill try bout anything. I wont eat meat that is not well done. I will eat stuff I dont like which includes white pork if thats whats been cooked for me.
Wife says im picky cause I want her to cook things a particular way. That dont mean I wont eat it other ways, but prefer it one way over the other.
Was the opposite for me, I grew up eating whatever we could kill/forage to supplement what my parents could afford to buy. Sure we had huge gardens are grew most of what we ate but some times of the year foraging took over(spring is the main one I remember, first fresh spring greens foraged from the woods along the river)... I still forage and eat a lot of what grows wild in my lawn, dandelion greens cooked with a bit of bacon and garlic are some mighty fine eating! I also have pig weed(lambs quarters), stinging nettle, some edible wild ferns in a shaded spot, purslane just off the top of my head.
I had Menudo a few times, chew till you're tired and swallow. I didn't think there was much flavor. Argentines used to grill small intestines, clean the outer layer, turn it inside out and use lye to remove the inner lining then grill it. It was edible with a strong beef flavor. I would not have ordered it but if friends cooked it I was OK with that.

Depends on who makes the menudo . I wouldn't give canned menudo to my dogs ! Got a lady that makes great menudo , she brings me some at times . She makes huge pots because so many want some . The tripe is easy chewed if it's cooked long enough but I have experienced the same thing you mention and agree .
No turning back , No turning back !
