#1 When attending covered dish dinners at the church house or elsewhere, NEVER dip the ladle to the bottom of the pot of chicken & dumplins. That's where the grannie's hide the chicken feet.

#2 While eating stew at a covered dish dinner, never ask "Hey, what kind of meat is this?"

Nite Y'all and I will check back tomorrow :)
 
My Grandma used to LOVE those chicken feet! Not much on them, but she'd chow down on them. It's a Bohemian thing....
 
I remember as a kid sitting down at dinner at my grandparents house after a hard day in the field with grandpa, dad and my uncles. We were hot and tired and hungry, Grandma served up diner to us at the kitcken table (to dirty for the good dinning room table) and not a word was spoke as we ate. When we were done she asked if we liked it? To witch my uncle replyed It was good what ever it was. WRONG THING TO SAY! He got slaped up side the head and was told to MAKE YOUR OWN FROM NOW ON and walked out of the kitchen! Gramdma took her cooking very personaly and I think my uncle had to eat alot of crow to get back in her good graces to get our dinner made agin! I learned a good lesson as a young boy, Dont make grandma MAD! Bandit
 
You ask what kind of meat is this ?
Oriental or Asian eat Dog - Cat - Rat or anything they get their hands on,
 
Years ago the wife and I would eat at a popular mexican cafe just about every saturday night. One day someone looked in the trash dumpster and discovered all the Alpo dog food cans and the boxes they came in and call the law. The place was shut down and it never reopened. They had been in business for many years and the food was really good, the FDA found many cases of Alpo in a back room and it made the front page for a week or so. The FDA said there was nothing to worry about and that eating Alpo would not cause folks any problems.(I guess that was for those that puked every time they thought about what they'd been eat'n) I never really worried about it and I guess they were right cause I never did start chasing cars.
 
Actually i used to work right between a meat packing plant,and dog food company.Honestly,there was MORE inspectors,and inspections at the dog food company than there ever was at the packing plant!I talked one day, honestly, to the manager of the dog food company.He said that there was absolutly nothing in a can of dog food that had a inspected label on it that would hurt you in any way,and in fact if you did eat it,most of it would be better for you than a regular diet of what we normaly eat.back in survival training a hundred years ago the main thing that i remember was "any animal living can be safely eaten except a skunk".Not that a skunk would hurt you in any way,they just had never found a person who could stand the smell and eat it! LOL
 
There was some jerky on sale at K-mart one day, so I got a couple jars. Ate the first one. It tasted a little different, but it was ok. Started one the second one and that is when I noticed the it was jerky for dogs. Gave the rest to the dog. He sure liked it!
 
I've often heard that dog food was better for you than a lot of the poison we get at the grocery store. There was another time I ate Alpo, I got home after working a double shift and everyone was in bed, I was mighty hungry so checked the the fridge and there was a plate covered with clear rap, I thought it was spam or something like it so I made me a sandwich and then another one. Next morning my wife ask me why I fed the dog at midnite, they still laugh about it when the kids and grandkids come to visit.
 
My old neighbour was always renowned for eating from the dog food tins, He was killed by a bus, but if he had not been sitting in the middle of the road liking his b@!!$ he may be still alive
LOL....Sam
 
Well I know a guy that ate dry dog food out of the bag. He is still living and I can't say any more due the laws. He appeared to be very well years after and the last time I worked with him.
 
There was a couple of guys lost for quite a while and they stumbled upon a railroad tracks and decided to follow the tracks to civilization. They were both hungry and thirsty. After about 10 miles on the tracks they came upon a dead skunk. One of the guys said I am so hungry I am going to eat the skunk, do you want some. The second guy said no way. The first guy ate the skunk.
The two guys continued to walk the tracks in the hot sun. After the guys had gone another mile or so down the tracks the first guy threw up. The second guy said, this is what I was waiting for, a hot meal.
 
Had a neighbor who tried canned dog food. Liked it and kept eating it. Rolled over one morning in bed to lap his butt, fell off the bed and broke his neck. Go figure.
