From what I've been reading it appears they didn't know it was going to be an eating task- they thought it would have to do with belly dancing of maybe building a hookah or something to that effect. Still, as soon as they found out about it, they should have hightailed it back- losing by seven minutes is tough.

Yeah.. but I suspect that if it took a whole hour to get there, they figured they had to try? Not a good situation, for sure.

I think one of the toughest decisions to make is deciding when to cut your losses and do something different. In this situation, they should have quit as soon as they saw the task. But it's always easy to see this in hindsight.

ITA Jimmer. When Terrence saw the meat and took a bite,He should have breathed deep and ate it with gusto or get up and leave wasting no time.

The difference in a bite or 2 and a bowl full of meat( and I use that term loosely)? 1 million dollars.

They kept referring to the meat as sheep's butt. What's up with that? All of the meat on a sheep is mutton, isn't it? I don't personally like mutton, but the rear end of a sheep can't taste all that different from the front end of a sheep, can it?

They said something about it having a lot of fat or being mostly fat because of where it came from on the sheep. So think of the slimiest, oiliest, meat that you can, and it was probably worse than that.

For instance the Turks make sheep stomach soup and I gather that includes the contents of the stomach and even my brother in law (actually ex of my ex's sister) it was pretty smelly.. my SIL lived with his family in Ankara for awhile and she called it "Shit Soup"..

I wonder what in the US would be a weird food that other people don't eat? Personally the weirdest thing I do is put blue cheese on my hamburgers...LOL! Or dip my french fries in mayo instead of ketchup.

Or the pink stuff or the green stuff your grandmother always makes at Thanksgiving and Christmas (come to think of it I'd better ask my Mom for the recipe...my "elders" are all getting old!...who will make it in the next generation if we don't get the recipe...LOL!).

So that sheep stuff was anal mutton??? Kinda funny that someone that acted like an ass on occasion had to try and eat it.

Well, as a MAJOR foodie, I am intrigued about the salad with red jelly in it and the pink and/or green stuff served at holidays! Can either of you be more specific? Is the green stuff Watergate salad?

Speaking of catsup, my Scandanavian exchange students used it on spaghetti!

Kar - good suggestion! I can also offer tripe (but much loved by Italians in Italy) and blood pudding and souse. Strangely enough all but a couple of my exchange students - out of over 100! - HATED peanut butter! Go figure!

I hate peanut butter. It is the only food I will refuse to eat.

Hmm, so TNT, peanut butter might be the WTH food for your students, sort of like vegemite if you go to Australia?

Kar, that's a good one, for sure!

The thing is, there are similar dishes to rocky mountain oysters all over the world. Ditto with tripe (which is a staple in Mexican menudo). We need to find a uniquely American thing that people from other countries would definitely turn their noses up at. Along the lines of Vegemite (which grosses me out just by the smell and I can't believe my Brit friends smear it all over their toast!).

Hmmm... how about a po' boy made with RMO and garnished with catsup?

What about "perfection salad" - at least I think that's what my grandma called it. It was orange jello w/carrots and cabbage in it and some white cream topping (maybe mayo or sour cream?). ***Shudder***

LOL.. we had that.. lemon jello, carrots, pineapple and maybe even baby marshmallows (perhaps I am making that part up) with a dollop of Miracle Whip. (and that was in Michigan, too).

I suppose Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast (or SOS.. Shit on a Shingle) is Brit in origin?? If not..

Are you sure you aren't talking about "Fluff?" It's made with pistachio jello, pineapple and cool whip.

Brits smear marmite, vegemite is the Aussie thing. Marmite - yum; vegemite - not so much.

Never heard of "Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast" so I doubt it's British.

The stuff I mentioned as "weird salad thing with red jelly in it" is often in the deli counters at Safeway or Lucky here. It looks like it's kind of mayonnaise and potato and diced veg but it also has cubes of jelly/jello in it. It just seems weird. Never tasted it, so it might actually taste good.
