[Complete Pete]

Inspired by 4boysmom who's never had aspargus before<br><br>
Within the next week, I am going to eat something I've never eaten before. Haven't decided what it is yet. I'm open to suggestions, just make sure it's legal to consume in OH. Not too hard to find is another bonus.<br><br>
For purposes of this thread, it doesn't count if it's something you've had before, just prepared in a way you've never eaten.<br><br>
Anyone else?

 

[Martin]

I suggest <i>boudin blanc</i>.

 

[gumbee]

haggis

 

[dg1]

foie gras

 

[Complete Pete]

I'd try any of those if they were readily available around here.<br><br>
Oh, no alcohol.

 

[CrazyEye]

I've been trying to do this on and off for a couple years now.<br><br>
My suggestion: Brussels Sprouts

 

[Complete Pete]

I eat those 2-4x per month.

 

[razzzzzz]

Sushi?

 

[muzicgrl]

What about artichokes?

 

[Complete Pete]

Love it, had it many times.

 

[Complete Pete]

I've had the hearts in several different forms.<br><br>
This might be kinda tough. I'm not a picky eater and will generally try whatever's put in front of me.<br><br>
I've never had collard greens or rubarb pie before.

 

[muzicgrl]

Try a whole artichoke...differnt from just having hearts in my opinion.<br><br>
What about kale?<br><br>
or some new Ethnic food? Ethiopian maybe?

 

[Complete Pete]

I've had kale before.<br><br>
If I get the artichoke, what do I do with it?

 

[Martin]

Do you me to post the <i>boudin blanc</i> picture?

 

[muzicgrl]

Cut of the sharp ends (about halfway down), give it a rinse, steam it for ~45 minutes (until you can easily pierce the heart) and enjoy the leaves and heart. I like to dip mine in good ole butter.

 

[Complete Pete]

Nah, I googled it.<br><br>
Nice job coming up with a food I've not only never eaten, but have never even heard of.<br><br>
If you've got some and can get it to me, I'll eat it.

 

[Complete Pete]

I've heard you need to scrape the leaves against your teeth? What's that about?

 

[muzicgrl]

You cant eat the entire leaf until you get towards the center (where they are softer) so you scrape the meat (for lack of a better term) off the outer leaves and then when the leaves get soft enough and not too prickly in the center you can eat the whole leaf. Then you clean the fuzz out of the heart and enjoy that too. Some of the outer leaves I just end up trashing because they dont have much meat on them.<br><br>
Yummy...I have one in my fridge right now...now I want it!

There are many things to do with vegitables <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">

Incomplete Pete is an Ohioan too? Where?<br><br>
I had Indian food for the first time this past weekend. Chicken tiki-something. I'd like some suggestions for other Indian dishes.<br><br>
IP, have you tried Lebanese? Some of it is similar to Greek food.
