HA You're probably right about that Chilli, I started carrying them because I resented being billed extra which to me is like charging extra for choc chips in choc chip cookies... it's supposed to be in there already The "Mother" of vinegar is formed naturally in unpasteurized vinegar by the acetobacter.

I'm weird because when I drive behind a worktruck with a ladder, I'm convinced the ladder will fly off and decapitate me. This morning I was stuck behind a truck with two long poles of some kind and I was convinced I would be impaled.

I have that fear too, Hermoine. But my main phobia is that a plane will crash on me while I am on the ground and smush me. (have no problem flying, though)

I have a similar fear, Hermi, but when I read it coming from someone else, it made me laugh like an idiot! I was following a semi one time on a highway, zipping along at 70 mph when he had a tire blow out. I saw that huge chunk of black rubber come flying right up over my windshield. It took a sharp turn upwards just at the right time instead of smashing into my windshield. The whole thing happened in slow motion, but I tend not to ride behind semi's anymore if I can avoid it. Hope it doesn't offend you that I laughed, but it cracked me up to see someone else say something I've thought about my whole life. We must laugh at our collective weirdness.

I say that eating organs of other living things is something I will not/can not do. I'm not about to eat skin either.

Nick I thought I was weird because I'd starve before eating chicken gizzards. Everybody I knew when I was growing up ate them. I went almost 24 hours w/o eating when I was a child because I refused to eat them. BLECH.

I am weird cause I had a thought to blame my mother for any weight issues, b/c if she would have just served gizzards I would have stayed rail thin ( or possibly starved)!

Stacey, I think you have an excellent excuse to shop for a new purse this weekend. Seriously. No one could expect you to carry a purse that smells like vinegar. Gizzards are not organs; they are muscle. They just knead the food through the digestion process. They don't absorb toxins or waste like organs do. Most meat we eat is muscle meat. I'm weird for knowing too much about chicken innerds.

Are those muscles? I thought those were "organs". I've never tried them but I have cleaned a lot of chickens and eaten a lot of chicken gizzards. I do not eat organs though. UGH!

I like tongue. My grandmother used to send us to the creek to find her a turtle to cook. Fried turtle is yummy.

With regards to the anchovies. I love them, but a little can goes a LONG ways. Freeze them after opening and peel them out one at a time, easy even while still frozen, to top frozen pizza. I used to dearly love kimchi, a pickled cabbage that's Korea’s best-known dish. Still would be eating it, except my middle age tummy can't handle the spices which are enough to blow the roof off. Surprised when a Korean Lady showed me how to make kimchi about 10 yrs ago. Stunned to discover that she added anchovies. No wonder I was always so hooked on it!

Oh wow! Stumbled onto this receipe. Maybe I could get away with it because the pork might dilute the 'fire' of the kimchi. http://koreanfood.about.com/od/soups/r/Kimchijigae.htm Found a Korean store up the street that sells it fresh, so I don't even have to make the kimchi from scratch.

I can eat pink-grapefruit but that's as brave as I get. Luv Kimchee! Haven't had it in years.
