A few days in Tennesee, sure opened my eyes to “delacies”
I’ve never seen before. Admittedly I’m a rather adventuresome eater. In fact,
I’ll try just about anything – as long as it isn’t spicy. I’ve eaten horse,
rattlesnake, alligator, buffalo, bison, ostrich, etc. I’ve gone to restaurants
where you have to take your shoes off, sit on the floor, even eat with your
hands. So I decided to try a few of the things that apparently are only popular
in Tennessee:
o I’m fine
with the Fried Pies – and Fried Peach Pie was quite yummy.
o I tried out
the Boiled Peanuts – but have to admit I’m not much of a fan.
o I skipped
the Pickled Bologna, because it just looked icky.
o I did try
Fried Apple Pie Moonshine Jelly, which doesn’t taste much like Fried Apple Pie
nor moonshine (not that I know what moonshine tastes like).
o But I did
draw the line at CANNED POSSUM! YUCK!!! Yup, right there in the convenience
store – Canned Possum, made with possum parts — “no more than 20% UNKNOWN plant
and/or animal matter.” (Spread on a cracker???) Gotta admit I’m just really
glad that I don’t have THAT marketing job! [And, no, I did NOT buy a can!]
Oh, and I ordered a pizza for dinner – simple cheese pizza.
