Eating tree rodents is poor folk food.  My mother says possum is kinda greasy.

I had fried tripe for the first time back in April.  Not sure if it was pig or beef.  I'm thinking it was pig, because what it tasted like was not-quite-dried porkrind.  Yummy!!!!

But I've never liked menudo.  So there you go.

Pig stomach is a Pennsylvania Dutch specialty. You stuff it with sausage meat and diced potatoes, and then you bake it. My grandmother would make it once a year. I'd eat the sausage and potatoes--not bad--but I could never bring myself to eat the stomach.  :P

"Poor folk" are thrifty. They use every part of the pig except the squeal.  ;D

Maybe Haggis used to be poor folk food, but the prices I´ve paid for it in London suggests it no longer is that. I´ve tried it twice and quite like it.

I like meat and I have no moral dilemma regarding it. There are millions of people starving in this world, so I´m quite happy to eat it.

It's poor people's food until it starts to become popular, then the price starts rising.  Same thing happened here in the SW U.S.  Fajitas used to be something done to make a cheap cut of meat - flank steak, I think it is - more palatable.  Well, the popularity of the dish took off.  Now the prices on flank steak and the price of fajitas in restaurants is no longer cheap.

Wow! Your ancestors brought this tradition from the Palatinate over to the New World. Pig stomach = Saumagen. That's a Palatinate specialty!

Maybe you remember our former chancellor Helmut Kohl. He was from this area and was famous for (mis)treating forgeign heads of states with this specialty from his beloved home region. The thought alone made me shudder back then.
But since we moved to this area, we see pig stomach sometimes on the menu (at restaurants, etc.). One day, a friend of mine was just having pig stomach for lunch when I came by. It didn't look bad, so I tried it. Very cautiously BTW. And I liked it!
In the Palatinate, there are very serious pig stomach contests every year :laugh:. And it's definitively not poor folks' food (anymore).
