Here are five foods with an inside stuffing that you have never thought of before. |
Chitterlings
Chitterlings are made from the intestines and the guts of a pig. They are commonly called chitlins, and they are eaten mostly in Southern United States. They intestines and guts are cleaned out by pumping water through them to get any crap out of them. Then they are fried with onions, garlic, and peppers with some special spices on a big skillet with lots of butter or oil. When eating these chitlins you might notice that they have a faint taste of crap still. The special surprise inside is the crap ball that there is bound to be in at least one of the chitlin pieces. But really, do you want to be eating the innards of a pig anyway?
Haggis
Haggis is the national dish of Scotland. Haggis is basically a sheep's stomach stuffed with sheep's liver, heart, and lungs, minced onions, oatmeal, and spices. Once all of these goodies are put into the sheep's stomach, tie the cut end of the stomach is tied off and then the whole thing is placed in boiling water for about three hours. Haggis is sort of like a big sphere sausage. You just cut it into a few sliced and dig in. If you don't enjoy the taste of dried up blood and crap than this dish is not for you. Many people do enjoy this dish, it just takes an acquired taste.
Turducken
Turducken is essentially a roaster turkey, duck, and chicken all in one. It was made on accident when a hunter came into a restaurant with a turkey, duck, and chicken that he had just killed. Rather than roast the three birds separate, the chef cut the all open on put one inside the other. The turkey was the outside layer, then came the duck, and the middle of it was the chicken. Then it was all sowed up and put in the oven. When it came out of the oven it was so juicy and tender, anyone would love to eat this dish.
Jiaozi
Jiaozi is a Chinese dumpling. Dumpling are balls of dough with an inside containing minced meat such as beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, or even lamb. These meats are mixed with different cut up vegetables of personal preference. These raw dumpling are either boiled or steamed. Once the dumplings are cooked they are very, very hot. Some people only eat the meat and vegetables contained in the inside of the dumpling while other like to eat the entire thing. Some Chinese dumpling have a broth in the middle of the dough and it is sucked out with a straw. In this case the dough is not eaten.
Casu Marzu
Casu marzu literally translates to “rotten cheese” in Italian. This dish is a delicacy in Sardinia, Italy. It is a cheese made from sheep milk. Its made into a nice 3-5 pound loaf and left on a shelf to sit for three days. During this time flies lay their eggs into the loaf of cheese and larvae eventually start to hatch. By the time the dish is ready to eat it is totally infested with maggots. The sale of this dish is illegal but it still fetches a high price on the black-market.
