Uh, no. Don't like cochineal either. Purple ass glands don't really do anything for me.

Campari actually is now made with an artificial red dye there are still some red biyyer beverages made from cochineal

organ meats. Though I do cook the liver and gizzard and heart, mince them finely and mix them with pork sausage for my turkey stuffing...
tripe, eyes, balls, glands, haggis, or anything like that, though natural casing for sausages is ok.

no frogs or turtles for me either.

I'm fine with many types of beans, but some just no - the flavor of fava beans and pintos just don't work for me, and i'm sure there are a few more....

and I don't like veal.

I love offal, although I've never (knowingly) tried balls or eyes, although I do know that bulls testicles are served in Spain. Tripe and Haggis are two things that I love, but don't get the chance to eat them very much. Liver (preferably ox) with bacon, onion and mashed tatties is one of my favourite meals 😀🍽️.

Despite being from Scotland, I will never try deep fried Mars bars. I'm aware that they were starred here, but TBH I don't like Mars bars and the thought of putting them in a deep frier just makes me want to boke 🤢

Testicles are a classic dinner here. There are literally hundreds of festivals around the country that have gonad munching contests. Beef, pig, buffalo,etc. The poultry industry is huge around her, when the turkeys are taken to the feed lots they are castrated. At that time you can go to one of the processors here and buy frozen turkey nuts in five pound bags.

Friends have told me to try them.

Boy, there's a marketing challenge. That's good enough for a final exam in a Freshman Marketing course.

Sophomore year is focused on solving the Israeli Palestinian crisis through motivational posters, protests, and positional propaganda.

Guaranteed job straight out of college if you can noodle that one.

Do you remember fear factor, the tv show? I read about the series once, and a few times people had to eat bison balls. Boiled in plain water then served cold. My hair stood on end.

Yeah. It seemed to me that the producers were just trying to make the most disgusting things that they could think of to see if people would really eat it.
