Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / January 2006More ROLL CALL
Gang...I too am a lurker in the lots outside this pub. I had a '67 330 GTC 35 years ago which I traded for a 62 250GT SWB California spider, which in turn I sold in 1974. Been kicking myself ever since. I enjoy this group and would like to see the roll call continue. ...I missed the message which started it.

The closest we have to gross would probably be mountain oysters, aka sheep or bull testes that are fried up like oysters. I'd eat a plateful of those before I'd eat one bite of blood pudding, tripe, jellied eels, etc. We have lutefisk in America but it was brought over by the Scandanavian types that moved to North Dakota. Can't count that as ours... Some people over here eat cow tongue, heart, etc. but again, you guys have the same stuff over there... I gotta go ahead and wave the white flag on the bad food wars...
