Food I/we used to (happily) eat.

[Spoked Wheels]

I ate goats testicles once, the bloody thing damn near kicked me to death before I'd finished.

I had them in a BBQ and they were very good. So much that I went for second's I don't think I'd like to eat them cooked differently though.

Not sure I've had testicles, but I once ordered beef pizzle soup in a Vietnamese restaurant, back in the days before internet was on phones. Of course, when I finally got to a dictionary it was what I guessed it to be.

Strangely made my male dining companion very uncomfortable.

As I worked around Europe occasionally I have eaten........
Snails (escargot) which I used to enjoy.........mainly because of the garlic. Then one time, as I went to spear it, I saw its 'feelers' sticking out. Never again.
Octopus
Squid cooked in its ink (with garlic of course)
Frogs legs (both types).........very tasty.
Guinea fowl.....OKish

Angel Delight. Ah, fond memories of getting home from school in the 70's and whipping up a bowl of sugary goop laden with more E numbers than there are elements in the periodic table itself. Butterscotch flavour stayed in your mouth for hours...

 

[Profpointy]

the only time I had frogs' legs was after we'd all ordered random things of the menu, and the chap who'd actually ordered them took one horrified look stating "I can't eat that" so I swapped. Amusingly the one (just about) French speaker then said "ah, I remember what grenouille are now"

They were nice enough (chicken basically) but not really worth the trouble.

But there was also the "Agneaux" incident which I duly ordered. Waiter pointed out (in English) "you do know it's brains don't you?" As it happens my schoolboy French covered "lamb" but not "brains" - but I obviously couldn't lose face in front of Johnny Foreigner so said "yes of course, that's fine". Three whole lambs' brains arrived presently - nice enough but not something I'd order again on purpose. Still, British honour was upheld and that's the main thing

There was an occasion when I was on a course in Paris. We were from a bunch of EU nations and I recall one of the Irish contingent selecting a dish in the canteen that looked very much like brain. We waited until we got to the table before we discussed it. I think he went hungry.
I will say the SESA canteen was very good.

Most of the time I ate at the MacDonalds at Gare de l'Est

Fish fingers.

I wouldn't eat proper fish when I was little, because of the bones, but I would eat fish fingers. When I grew up, one day, I decided I would buy some fish fingers. Nasty tasteless things...

 

[Large]

Jeez, the food back in the day was insipid!

I used to eat uncooked sausages. Thinking back, I must have been barking. I did like brawn, though. Can't seem to get it nowadays.

Used to happily eat Nestle's chocolate.
Now it seems you can only get chocolate pronounced Nestlay

Liquorice root from the chemists - little sticks of wood that you chewed on forever.

Yup, it's NESSELS. Always will be.
