cheeseslave » 14 July 2010 » In Food & Cooking » 51 Comments

I know people are going to complain when they see the photo of the pig’s head. The last time I posted a photo of offal (I believe it was the cow tongue), I got a lot of complaints.

What Passes for Food in South Africa

I wrote a post a while back called What Passes for Food in America. It was all about the junk they pass off as food at free breakfast buffets at American hotels.

Think your kids won’t eat raw oysters? Do they turn up their noses at liver and onions? You need to read this post.

I had the most interesting conversation with Ceci, the woman who owns our daughter’s daycare. She has a few secret tricks up her sleeve to get kids — any kid — to eat anything.

Yes, liver. And yeah, tripe. And, yep, pretty much anything else you can imagine that you think a child would never eat. Octopus. Natto. Pancreas. You name it.
