Poke salad. Scrapple (ugh). Boston Butt. Shit on a shingle (chipped beef on toast).NumbrOneAunt says,
lutefisk. this is a norwegian dish and the name translates literally to "lye fish". (and yes, it really is fish soaked in lye.) my best guess is that it was a means of preservation in the days before refrigeration. i'm half norwegian, but i'm grateful that my mom never made this while we were growing up because i'm not a fan of fish, even minus caustic chemicals! (my apologies to any lutefisk fans who read this - smile)canadafreeze says,

Tripe...Ahhtrippahh, the italian tripe pushcart vendor would shout out as he stopped at each corner along the blocks of the small town I used to live in. In spanish it was called Mondongo. Either way part of the poor mans{woman's) pig diet back in the old days. In some parts it's now a delicacy...go figure.KharisJo says,
ok, next dinner party- entree shitaki mushrooms with a tofu dressing, served on a bed of arugula and alfalfa sprouts; main: Nav Rattan Korma with fufu de platano and rutabaga on side, served with rice and sesame dusted pappadums; dessert: individual spotted dicks with kumquat coulis; finale: coffee and smashed goo goos.
