Both are predominantly made up of tripe.

Doesn't sound too much worse than haggis, but worse nonetheless.

Sou

Edit: OK I'm stupid tonight...I just got the tripe reference.

That's got to be the funniest thing I've heard in quite a while.

Pepper pot used to be my favorite-then it vanished from the store shelves.

You can still get it--from specialty places. Just google around a bit. I don't think it sells well enough to justify routine stocking on supermarket shelves.

I went to a Tet party a few nights ago and we ate Baby Pig's Brain Soup. I guess I was on about my fourth or seventh Tiger Beer because I ate it without asking why. It was pretty good--the beer and the soup!

Now that is just offensive.....

Offensive? No... You just have to be careful NOT to ask what you are eating around here.

Tet is the Vietnamese version of Chinese New Year. Get your head out of the gutter if you thought I meant something else!
