Title: food that sounds awful... Post by: lazaroonie on July 04, 2010, 05:59:00 AM ...but wasnt
I am over here in mexico doing a little work. So the guys take me out tonight for some food. They assumed (wrongly) that I would be like th yanks that they entertain and only eat at mcdonalds etc. no, i say, take me for some local food... So downtown guadalajara we end up in a 'tacqueria'. As Billy Connolly says, Mexican food is essentially all the same, just wrapped differently..... I ask my colleague to order for me, and what comes back is called the 'burrito cabeza'...I know that cabeza means head...so he explains it to me there are 5 small tortillas on the plate, It is all part of the cow head which has been cooked. each tortillas contains something different - ears, cheek, tongue, lips and the one in the centre....yep the brains. As I didnt like to offend my hosts, to their amusement I wolfed down the first four until we get to the last one...the crowning glory so to speak....I quickly douse the brains in the hottest salsa on the table, cover it in onions, wrap it up and eat that as well... I have to admit that it actually tasted pretty decent. The brain wasnt the best, but the other parts were seriously good.... Any other scary food stories ? Title: Re: food that sounds awful...
