What are your 'fear factor' foods?
I'm sitting here, eating a little bowl of gizzards, and wondering why I don't have to fight anyone else in the house for them. I love 'em. Love the flavor, the texture, everything. Yum.
And yet, I can bear to eat only the mildest of cheeses - cream cheese, american, cheddar, mozzarella, some fresh parmesan and some provolone...even swiss is a bit much for me, and the stuff with mold - forget it!!
Liver? NO. Liverwurst? Oh YEAH. I can't explain it, but that's how it is for me.
I love reading old 'farm' cookbooks, with recipes for all the parts of animals I wouldn't dream of eating. Scrambled eggs and brains (my aunt makes this, and the smell is enough to scare me off, but they really like it), scrapple, head cheese. I know people who LOVE this stuff. So far, I've been too chicken to give it a try.
Speaking of chicken...the gizzards are gone. What are your 'fear factor' foods?

Some of the fearful foods that instantly came to my mind were Pickled Pigs Feet, Head Cheese, Sardines and Pickled Beets.
Yep, that just about does it for me.

I like sundried and cooked tomatoes of every type, and love fresh pico de gallo. But bite into a plain fresh tomato? NO CAN DO!
But we do use the intestines of the pig to make natural casings for sausage...we wash these really well
