They aren't really like rocks😄. Maybe crunchy prawn chips is a better analogy. They are actually lighter than pork crackling and just disintigrate in your mouth as you bite into them. I personally love them along with deep fried school prawns.

In the Marquesas they said the locals use to love eating dog. Apparently you have to raise them on a vegan diet and the meat becomes very sweet. I did try horse in Iceland when we ordered a meat platter and I have to admit it was really nice even with no sauce. 

Iceland must be a country to try strange foods.  I tried whale blubber there on a buffet.

It must be😄. I did have a whale kebab stick that was lightly grilled, not blubber just meat. Since I like gamey meat I did find it tasty. Also at a tapas restaurant we had cured puffin breast which being a dark poultery was suited to my palate not to mention the curing in native herbs was nice and of course we also tried their infamous Hákarl which I actually didn't mind. Kind of reminded me of blue cheese but in fish form😜.

In Peru dog is often eaten as are guniea pigs. Having been to Peru 3 times when my son lived there for 6 years, I tried guinea pig - of course it tastes like chicken !! As for dog, we were staying a couple of nights in Aguas Calientes - Macchu Picchu, outside the hotel there was a street vendor doing the dog bbq, for locals and tourists who dared. No we did not sample the dog.

On my first trip to Vietnam on business my hosts took me on a trip to Cu Chi tunnels outside of Saigon for sightseeing. I noted a lot of roadside stalls selling among other things, dogs. I asked my host, were the dogs being sold as pets or to eat. He replied matter of factly " whatever you want". I was very cautious to ask what I was eating after that 😮

Talk of rocks reminds me of the old bush recipe for galah.

 

Put galah in a large pot of water with rocks.

boil for 3-4 days.

throw away the galah and eat the rocks.

Rocks     reminders me the first time ever made trifle.... and first time for making custard.....

I missed the bit about heat the milk to almost boiling........    Me  i just keep on added more custard powder

To get it thick.........       pour it in the bowl as it boiled.... and put it in the fridge......

 

it set like a rock, just like concrete .....lol

 

Also i believe your recipe works for Carp   as well ....

 The early settlers recipes are mostly roasts though there is a recipe for a Galah broth. Indigenous would rub the meat with natives aromatics and herbs before putting them on the fire. In Kauai they have wild chickens but apparently their flesh is too tough to eat. That recipe would probably suit them😆

I would be hesitant to try dog in Asia. It seems the dog meat industry is a bit brutal over there, they don't seem very well treated which would make me wonder if the meat is up to standard. The way our guide in French Polynesia explained how dogs were raised for food was like the equivalent of Wagyu beef, they were trying to make sure it was the best quality possible.

Well Puffins are traditional food of Iceland and the restaurant we ate at was all about showcasing traditional food. Anyway it came part of our degustation package. Hákarl is basically fermented shark meat. It is certainly an acquired taste and the smell is off the chart😁. Most people don't like it but for me I didn't mind it that much. I grew up eating fish sauce which is made from fermented fish so maybe for me the taste wasn't as weird, though Hákarl is not as salty or sour as fish sauce and it has much stronger umami that reminded me of blue cheese.

This would appear to cover most of the unpalatable food groups.
And Homophobic to boot!

 

We did try them a few times, with oven chips and garden peas.

For a moment i thought they were Brains in Sauce

 

But in fact they are Pork

 

Herbert Hill Brain
A traditional butcher from Bristol, started making delicious heart warming family meals in 1925. His classic pork ***** recipe & unique West Country sauce soon became a firm family favourite across the land.

 

they contain

West Country Sauce (62%) contains: Water, Pork Lard, Wheat Flour (Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Modified Starch, Tomato Puree, Salt, Colour: Caramel (E150c), Yeast Extract, Sugar, Onion Flavour, Spice and Herb Extracts (Celery),

 

Pork Faggots (38%) contains: Water, Rusk (Wheat Flour (Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin)), Rehydrated Pork Rind, Pork Liver (15%), Onion, Pork (4%), Wheat Flour (Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Salt, Sage, Spice Extracts, Anticaking Agent (E551), Acidity Regulator (E330)

 

Well you learn something different on CC....

I have had faggots on my trips to uk. Quite tasty. Just think of them as pommy rissoles, similar taste. If you are travelling the west country, i.e.somerset you will find them on pub menus. Wash them down with a pint of scrumpy cider, lubbly jubbly.

[NSWP]

The Brits are not too sensitive about names, otherwise Faggots the food would have got a name change to something less homophobic, i.e. West Country meat balls, something like that.🤐

We're working on it. There isn't a lot of choice in Tea Gardens / Hawks Nest. It's too far to go around to the Nelson Bay area and the ferries only run during the day.

 

I highly recommend the Tea Gardens Boatshed restaurant we went to yesterday for lunch. Great food and right on the water. There were so many yummy things on their small plates menu so we had a tapas style lunch - oysters, salt and pepper squid, duck spring rolls (awesome), arancini, salad and bread. Plus a superb orange creme brulee for dessert.

 

We'll try somewhere different for lunch today, or maybe dinner. We're only going to have one meal out a day, otherwise we'll overeat. 

I suppose you are home now, sounds like you enjoyed the break. Now Mr Chimu tells me that there is a new restaurant near you, at the Canopy - Sugerlane.  Up market Asian. Have you tried it?
