They are, in fact, pork intestines... slow-boiled/simmered for a good day or so in salty sometimes vinegary water. Before I knew what they were, I inhaled them. Then when I was in 6th grade my cousin told me what they were. The thing is, I still eat them once a year at Thanksgiving because my Aunt and Uncle serve them and I can't resist. I just conveniently forget what it is I'm eating (ignorance is bliss). I had an odd Fruvous dream last night, but wasn't too exciting. Just that I was at some outdoor festival and the Lads were hanging around stage... and I walked up on stage and started picking up instruments and playing them like I had been playing all my life.

I was raised on too many creepy horror and >SF stories featuring ravenous fungi to be really entirely comfortable >eating mushrooms unless they've had the *HELL* cooked out of >them...and even then I watch them for a minute or two first. *blink* Okay. Alright. As someone who has been gathering mushrooms _in the forest_ since she was about 3, I'll bite. "Mushrooms" aren't just the white champignons that you buy in a grocery store. There are many different varieties of mushrooms, and most of them grow in leafy shady forests, where there's a lot of cool moisture. Where they grow certainly isn't determined by where a deer decides to relieve itself but rather where a mushroom root grows. If you're picking mushrooms and find a bunch of them near each other, it's a safe bet that they have a common root, which just kinda spreads itself out underground. If you cut the mushroom off with a sharp knife, leaving the root intact, after the next rain there'll be a new mushroom there. Mushrooms are indeed ravenous, when it comes to settling an area. They spread like crazy, especially after rain. I personally have never seen it be to the detriment of other plants. Some mushroom varieties are incredibly poisonous to humans, but that's not intentionally malicious on their part, I promise you. They're fungi, so what? They're plants. Cheese is made with bacteria, and there are bacteria growing at this very moment in your stomach, does that mean you're going to give up pizza? As for cooking the hell out of them, yes, you're supposed to do that. Just like you aren't supposed to go picking mushrooms in the nearby forest unless you really know what you're doing (it's easy to learn, though). But there are SO many amazingly delicious ways to cook them, and so many wonderfully tasty varieties, that it's totally worth it. :) - -v, whose mother made fried mushrooms for her dad once, which he took to work, after which every *single* US-born person there was completely serious in saying goodbye forever to her father, convinced that he was poisoning himself.

This makes perfect sense, because my theory is that the term "delicacy" is used to designate foods that people in their right minds wouldn't eat otherwise. I've learned not to ask anymore. My evidence: caviar, escargot, and now chitterlings. I rest my case. Delicacies=Food you're better off not knowing the origin of. >I had an odd Fruvous dream last night, but wasn't too exciting.

I'm sure Chris would appreciate it on FDC. Ok, just used DejaNews... er... Deja to search and found a post from Sharilyn from '96 that had: "I recall, not so long ago, walking into Video Bargainville...you know [???] stores not unlike most post-World War Two capitalist democracy video stores. My father and I rented Moonstruck with Cher, I've always had a soft spot for Cher...[???]...depending on how long her hair is, or how long the film is - but that's another story."
