Great list. Can't wait to whip a couple of those out at the bar. When the time is right. Patience, crackpot. Patience.

great work loved all of them did you think of them your self or did you just compile them?

Sion 07-17-2003 08:49 AM

Jadz, I am sorry to have to inform you of an error in this list.

"The Pennsylvania dish "City Chicken" is actually made of minced rabbit brains"

This is incorrect. I grew up in Western Pennsylvania and can tell you for a fact that "city chicken" is not made of minced rabbit brains but rather is a nugget-like concoction comprised of squirrel balls and cat feces.
