Who do voodoo

November 15th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

The voodoo section of the supermarket creeps me the fuck out. I’m nit even talking about Agatha’s Creepy Corner Market, I’m talking Stop and Shop. This is the part of the meat section with all the crazy random animal parts that one would have an easier time finding an application for in black magic than in food preparation. A sampling of what was there today next to my beloved bacon: pig tails, split pig feet, beef marrow chunks, chicken feet, cow tongue (yes, really), pig spinal cord (nerves, not bones), etc. I guess one could argue that stuff like this is perfectly fine if you’re brewing up a stock or something… but I think my stock can do without chicken feet and pig tails, I’ll add a dash more chipotle powder to mask the delicate missing flavors. Besides, I don’t want to go snapping up all the ingredients for someone’s love potion or effigy dolls and have them use yucky chicken breast or filet mignon instead. No pics for this post, you’re welcome.

    Tongue is one of the least exotic things up there. Supposedly good, though I’ll pass. Never seen pig nerves – weird. Beef marrow seems pretty reasonable though.

      Agreed, I remember seeing tongue at DeMoulas in leominster back in the day, and marrow I gather is common for stock. I guess it’s taking them all in at once that’s weird. Especially when it’s recognizable parts and not random chunks of red stuff that used to be inside an animal.

    My stepmonster cooked cow tongue for us once…I refused to eat it…I now wonder if that was before or after she became a crackhead…
