I never had Boccoli until I got to the States. Some foods were just not available at the time.
Like peanut butter. I had to send my Mom some, plus Taco fixings, which she discovered on her first visit here.

I never had Pizza until about 1971 on a trip north, going up the peninsula, past Grants Pass Ore(Beefalo Burgers near Mt Mazama), made it all the way to Portland Ore and into Washington state before heading home... Dad mentioned that I should have an open mind and not reject something I've never had before, this was in context with food, I've kept that ever since... I've even tried Chinese food, Southern Fried Chicken, Mexican, heck I've even grown some of My own food in the past, from seed no less...

Hard to believe but I never even heard of a Taco until was 25 at my bosses house. and at the first time having one was a total mess.

Another thing my kids really don't like are mussels and I love them. I sometimes cook them when they're away for the weekend.

How did you find out where mussels take their breaks?

Hehe, just an English play on words ...... you're a quick learner :-)


I was thinking that you meant the mussels took their breaks in the pot...

I'll pass, I don't like boiling anything that's alive to death just to eat it, lobster and crabs comes to mind...

Another one that is very good is Buffalo meat, very lean and if cooked right sooooo good. The Indians were not wrong on that one.

We get a lot of farm raised buffalo here in the (Canadian) deep south, which is quite nice. The wild stuff can be a little dry, and has a VERY strong flavour. Interesting, but not every day please. Same with musk ox (which is still all wild as far as I know). I find about one musk ox burger per decade to be interesting. Any more would be overwhelming.

A little Canadian humour, added in edit: the Indians deeply regret the passing of the buffalo, and they say they won't be in the chips again till they come back.

Off to the pun thread with thee.

I have met a few buffalo (after they had broken out of a farm).

To paraphrase W.C Fields and Will Rogers at the same time:

I never met a buffalo I didn't like - if it was properly cooked.

I know one store chain that sells it in steaks or ground meat, the ground meat I do add some fat.

I tried Beefalo down in OK back in the 70's which wasn't bad either. A cross of Beef and Bison. Beefalo can withstand conditions like Bison do.

It's been about 42 years, I only had one once, it was good, that much I do remember.

Good to see the system on line.

Buffalo if not cooked right can be dry since it has little fat so you need to add some, the one I{ had was perfect.

What I'd eaten was Beefalo, not quite the same as it's a hybrid, between beef and bison, as only water buffalo are buffalo and there are no water buffalo in the US outside of some zoos maybe, as their not native to North America.
