Of course, I'm not sure how much of that is genetic

Well for the most part if a baby never drinks milk after being weaned off mother's milk... I THINK they are nearly guarenteed to be lactose intollerant.

As far as I know you don't actually eat the casing (stomach or artificial) so I've never understood what the big deal about that was. You just slice it open and then scoop the deliciousness onto your plate.

I think the deal was about eating a sheep's innards.

Considering that liver is delicious and me mom loves heart, that seems to be a bit of nonsense though.

Oh, except for "fraise de porc". Literally "pig strawberry". Guess what it is.

As a Chinese, lactose intolerant is very common, myself included. But it's not that we can't eat any diary product or drink milk as many believed. It simply means I can't drink much milk. And the amount which will cause symptoms are varied. In my case I can't drink more than a bottle before having diarrhea. And things like cheese are not much of a issue. (However we hardly eat cheese in the diet anyway, so it's hard to tell) And my family from my mother side are all more intolerant than my father side's. So it's definitely genetic in my point of view.

Y'know, I have to say this. I hate everything about Epic Meal Time except for the actual food. Which oscillates rapidly between "Want" and "Do not want" based on whether it includes candy (they should never attempt to prepare anything sweet, apparently).

If you're going to say something like this, I highly recommend clarifying what on Earth it is you're talking about. I know I hadn't heard of those before seeing this post, and I almost reported it because I had no idea that you were referring to an actual kind of mushroom.

I thought it meant you were intollerant to lactose and thus had problems digesting it often causing intestinal distress if you eat too much.

That is what it means, but it exists to varying degrees. Also, different dairy products have different amounts of lactose, yogurt and cheese not having as much as milk.

It's something tastes very similar with what I said a kind of fungus "the silver wood's ears" 銀耳 or 白木耳 that can replace swift's nest. And we can it 黑木耳 "black wood's ears" in Chinese. Although they are not actually that alike in looks. The recipes related to them are different as well, even they share a similar name in Chinese.

For people like myself, we don't actually care about lactose, since it's not possible to detected it with eyes or tastes, rather we need to identified the actual products that may cause symptoms. And diary products are generally associated with it. Like people always say it's better safe than sorry, so I tend to avoid food associated with diary products if it's possible, hence may cause the wrong impression that we can't eat anything related to milk. (For things that are familiar I'll know how much I can take, but others it's everyone's guess). Trust me, the diarrhea it caused was never fun.

There was the time I ate all the steak trimmings my family and guests left behind because I was hungry and didn't get any steak

Does that count as disgusting or have people in here ate a meal of trimmings before?

[Mimidormi]

While Pajata is a traditional dish here, i've never tried it. Though once i had Coratella (basically, chopped lamb innards sauteed with artichoke), and found it absolutely delicious.

Another unusual dish: Sanguinaccio Dolce, a cream made of dark chocolate with fresh pig blood, intended to be eaten with ladyfingers (not to be confused with Sanguinaccio, that is your standard blood sausage).

I did know someone who tried Casu Marzu; he told me the smell is scarier than the larvae, but he did enjoy it.

the trimmings are not disgusting at all, the fact that you ate it from other peoples plates may be. i eat from other peoples plates all the time though, even if i'm not particularly hungry. my gf is very conservative when it comes to food, she doesn't eat anything as exotic as zucchini, so when we're eating out, i often eat half of her plate as well as mine, and even at home, since i'm the one doing all the cooking, i get to eat the perfectly fine vegetables or the buffalo mozzarella she leaves behind

I hate that. My ex ate at most, half the food on her plate. And that is only the case for food she loved. Anything other than hamburgers, pizza or snacks, she would at best nibble on, and if it isn't something she ate before the age of 8 she won't even try to taste it.
