Nope. I loved frog legs with lemon, but it's been a long time since I've had them.
I like escargot, too, with butter sauce.
You're starting to see one of my many problems now.
My mom has always been a health nut. When I was in grade school, she made a special dinner one night-something she called "salmon loaf." It was horrifyingly disgusting, and my brothers and I refused to eat it. She told us we all had to stay at the table until we finished our food. My brothers were bawling, but I started pretending to eat it, then spit it into my napkin. When I was excused, I went outside and tried to bury the evidence in the yard!
Morgan frog legs are bland. I spice them up with a breading and saute them. I always make them plain but add a tomato concasse.

Eek. That's just cruel.
Don't worry-we've never let her forget!
My hubby thinks that ketchup=spaghetti sauce. I am partially Italian. I have made sure my daughter is not subjected to his pretend pizza!
For the record he is a good cook for everything else

I love tomatoes. I'll eat a fresh-grown tomato (a real fresh-grown, not plastic tomatoes from a store) with more gusto than an apple, and I like apples. I put stewed tomatoes or freshly cubed tomatoes in lots of food. Yummy.
Can't stand ketchup, though, and you're talking to someone who eats tuna out of the can, herring out of the jar, snails, and bugs. Don't know what it is. I've never liked ketchup. If I were fed ketchup and pasta, I'd smile and thank them, but I'd be entirely miserable until we broke out dessert or alcohol.
When I was working at a High School in outback New South Wales, on a Saturday night there was this party: local Aboriginal people and some of the other teachers. Lots of beer, local tucker including Kangaroo tail cooked in dirt, Witchetty grubs, Emu and a wild bush pig. The yellow-belly fresh water fish you catch up there in the Namoi and Barwon Rivers tastes good. If you cook it wrapped in al-foil is good; if you have wild Dill, bang it in also, otherwise there are some wild plants in the forest that are used for flavour.
Oh, oh, oh. I was at a party in Okinawa. Grandma worked for a Navy engineers office as a secretary, and they did an office party where they had a Hawaiian style pig, you know, buried in coals and cooked for a year or two.
Bringing it up, it was disgusting looking, with the whole (gutted, but with some kind of leaves stuffed back in) browned pig and hacking chunks out of it. But I have to say, it was the best-tasting pork I've ever had. Melted in your mouth.
The other odd thing was that I was the sole enlisted (sergeant) Marine in this group of Navy folks, but we got along okay. Probably 'cause Grandma's so cute, and she was pregnant at the time.

Mutton? Are you medieval? Did you serve it with flagons of mead?
I don't make weird things for dinner! I am not at all adventurous.
The weirdest thing I ever ate (unknowingly) was in Canada - caribou meatloaf. I didn't realize that the meat was caribou. I thought they called it "caribou meatloaf" on the menu to make it sound Canadian. (I'm an ass.)

I could never understand Pig Roasts. Horribles! People will just pick off a whole poor pig
Never never!
Never never!
I had the same reaction to Salmon loaf. I believe taste buds mature over time, and that that is the reason kids hate to eat certain things. I love now some things I despised as a kid, such as Lima beans, Brussel Sprouts, salmon and other fish dishes. I was taught in anatomy that a baby's taste buds are immature at birth except for the ones which detect sweetness, which are fully mature; reason being that the human nervous system has lots and lots of growing to do and the only nutrient it ever uses is glucose. So, the infant needs to be able appreciate and crave sweetness in foods.My mom has always been a health nut.
