Alligator????!! Really?! As in the creepy, ugly and scary reptile that sometimes invades people's homes?! Damn, Strider! My respect and admiration for you, just grew exponentially! You're kinda bad ass (if you don't mind my saying it!) Care to appear on the show called Bizarre Foods? I thought that my dad was a total bad ass, when he ate a dish at a restaurant in Beijing, whose literal translation in English, was Pig's Brain, but you, sir, have taken it to a whole new level! I applaud you, man! Easy now, Kiwi...it's not as if I killed the alligator with my bare hands. Plus, it's like Walter says, alligator(and other exotic meats) are readily available if you know where to look. I have had alligator chili, alligator tacos, and grilled alligator tail. In fact, in the past year I have also had ostrich, elk, venison, buffalo, turtle, wild boar...but no pig's brains. But I did try cow's heart once.

The things stout should be flavored with - coffee and chocolate! "What we’ve got here is an imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year to make sure wonderful bourbon undertones come through in the finish. Makes your taste buds squeal with delight " I've never had this, because it's impossible to find here, but I've heard it's the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigs brain, on the other hand, is something I don't see me coming into contact - ever. Had some of Mrs. Walter's homemade banana bread earlier, with coffee - too good! Yes, well, I guess Pig's Brain is as common in China as Alligator seems to be common in the U.S! I'm definitely staying away from both! That's for sure! Sheesh!

Glad y'all are evolving, Strider... I keep tellin' people...Los Angeles is an international foodie's dream. There are more regional and national cuisines than you can shake a stick at here. Every immigrant group brings its cuisine and adds it to the smorgasbord. Grits have been around in Los Angeles for as long as I can remember. Blacks and other migrants from the South established Soul and Deep South cooking here decades ago. 11 hours ago, SuperDave said: I've had a number of these as well and when I had alligator it was in Florida and were gator cakes which were quite good served with sweet dipping sauces.

Calvin is great! As a kid, I ate cereal on school mornings, and while I was never a fan of colored cereal (I was a Rice Krispy gal, and occasionally Frosted Flakes or Lucky Charms), I can agree that adding sugar was a must, and the best part of the bowl was after the cereal was gone and you could scoop up a spoonful of sugar in the leftover milk. I also picked my favorite cereal of the week based on who offered the best prizes. Funny how a little rub-on tattoo could mean so much, brilliant marketing!

Tried a bowl a few years ago, found it wayyy to sweet. Now I enjoy the occasional bowl of Chocolate Cheerios.
