hog

the other day i was informed of some odd/disturbing news.  apparently in robertsdale (we live one town over) it's very common for people to eat hog/pig testicles.     i know!  i work with a bunch of guys that grew up there, and everyone of them has had rocky mountain oysters at least once.

i was talking to the guy across the conveyor belt from me, just like any other normal day and some how it came up that he ate this item.  he went on to say that it's very common and that you would be waisting food other wise.  gag... dry heave.  excuse me, i have a hyperactive gag reflex.  

i asked all of the people that work around me about this, and if they grew up in robertsdale they had had 'em.  there are three of us at work that grew up on the eastern shore and none of us had had the experience.  the three of us made fun of the rest of the guys, because were from fairhope and that's what we do.  gag...

  1. would you believe me if i said that europe is weirder/grosser than robertsdale? well, as weird as, anyway. i don't know if you want me to explain that comment or not...

  2. i would believe you. i am interested in what they eat, maybe you would blog about it? or just comment back, i'm just thinking it's going to be a lot of stuff : )

    exotic things to eat seem fine to me in other areas or countries. but i know these people. i could understand if you went on a cool vacation and the opportunity arose to eat something bizarre, that i get. doing it to yourself in your own back yard, that i don't get.
