Kingdom of Knuffel

I've had blood sausage!
Haven't found a place where I liked it either (but, while I lived near Germany, I'm French, maybe that's why). My mother was even more particular, she'd refuse eating it because "the one we made at home when I was a child was too perfect".

If we're talking about hearts, I've had pork heart. And lever. And ears. And stomach. All of this at a meat barbecue.
Granted all of this is probably included in my beloved Wurst in the first place <3

The really good ones I've eaten were in Aachen, I believe, so actually towards France from most of Germany - except there's Belgium in between at that point ;)
Now I want to know what the one your mom had as a child was like! :D Must have been amazing if she has such fond memories.

Also, to me there's a big difference in having something chopped up in Wurst where you may or may not know if it's in there vs having it on a barbecue and knowing what you're eating :D

I've had liver as well, but I don't really like it all that much. I actually don't consider that super unusual or strange though, it's the most common innard to eat here.

I honestly have no idea. She grew up in a farm (and I in half-a-farm, I guess ^^) and they made it themselves.

Unfortunately not going back to France for more than a year at that point so no Wurst, unless I want to splurge, that's expensive here, or blood sausage for me for a while.

Liver isn't super unusual you're right, I mean, France has foie-gras.
I think some people would still think it's disgusting.

Hm, rice pudding has grown on me a bit now that I'm an adult, but I hated it with a passion as a child. Maybe because it was sometimes served as lunch in my elementary school and I really don't consider it appropriate as a full on lunch, I generally prefer hearty food for that. Also generally everything at that school was just not prepared very tastily. I will never get over my hatred of lentil soup that they definitely caused

Wait, what are pizza pretzels? :o pretzels covered in salami and cheese? That sounds like an abomination no matter how you prepare it :D

Okay, I'm relieved to see that they have nothing in common with actual pretzels besides the shape, but still... That just seems like you take away the best part of a pizza (the middle) in favour of more crust pieces. That's a super strange idea to me :D
