Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My impression is that Ethiopian food is somewhat similar to Indian food, and that I wouldn't like it.
How do you eat chicken feet? Do you just chew them up? Aren't they mostly bone?The feet have lots of cartilage, which you can chew. Then you spit out little bits of bone.

DH loves the chicken feet. I think they're nasty -- not just because they look like feet, but because they're nothing but skin and gristle. You kind of just gnaw on them.
I find Ethiopian food to be very strongly spicy but generally not hot-spicy, except the reddish 'wot' sauce which must have hot peppers in it somewhere. But compared to Indian, there's practically no milk products and lots of easily-identifiable beef. It's worth a try, especially as the meals are generally "family style" so that you have a variety of dishes to take a bite each of and decide what you favor. (Mostly they're all delicious, though I can't testify as to the beef ones.)
I'm super non-adventurous when it comes to food.
I'm willing to try just about anything once, although I tend to draw the line at things like feet and brains, or when the thing I'm meant to eat still has its eyeballs.
A man accused of robbing a Belfast lingerie shop at knifepoint has fallen back on a time honoured defence – namely, his claim that he believed he was a female elf at the time.
Hmm, and Victoria Bitter resurfaced only days ago.
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match...
The one time I tried Ethiopian food, I thought the salmon goulash was pretty good, but the injera was like eating a dirty gray sponge.
I kinda don't like my meal looking at me when I'm eating. When I used to get river trout, I'd hide the head and it was ok. And if it is snack sized and not shrimp whole, nu-uh. Just...no.
So I imagine pig's feet actually have meat on them? Still, I'm not sure it's something I could eat.
I'm pretty adventuresome when it comes to food. I once had a job interview where the recruitment people took me out to dinner the night before. I had calamari - they had never heard of it and were impressed. I like to think that's the main reason I got a job offer....
I do generally draw the line at things with eyeballs. And getting stuff like a whole red snapper is just too much work to get the meat off.
Great blurb, Allyson. It would make me order the book if I hadn't ordered three already.
Kathy A rocks.
I'm willing to try almost everything, but I'll note that I have yet to order the "cold pig intestines" appetizer at my favorite Szechuan place. Thankfully, they have stopped putting a picture of cold pig intestines on the menu.
Head-on shrimp freak me out because they look like giant bugs.
I've gotten over my eye squick wrt fish heads because fish heads are so yummy in stew that it's worth having them stare at me for a few seconds before I put the lid on.
With whole fish, I have bone issues. I know bones = flavor, but I can't enjoy my food if I'm constantly worrying about choking to death on it.
I watched "The Wedding Bells" last night. It was pleasant, but I probably won't make an effort to keep up with it. The bits with the actual wedding adventures was fun, but then the show wanted to be a soap opera about the sisters' lives. I find it hard to be interested in the dramas of people who can't make and keep personal decisions, so those parts would have been fast-forwarded if I had this TIVo'd. Oh, well, at least Jeff Goldblum's new show is on tonight.
