I know what you mean by the smell but i find if you use fresh fish instead of canned it doesnt have much smell and is much taster! :)

Paella - but not because I don't like it ... quite the opposite in fact! I love a good paella - but find home made versions pale in comparison to 'the real McCoy'. I'd rather go without ... and enjoy authentic when I get the chance - even if that is only once in a blue moon :)

Do you eat those bits that they barbecue and get people to eat on TV's Fear Factor?Don't be a wuss and say you don't know what it is...one of your children must have either dragged you to watch, or tried to gross you out by telling you about it ;)

There was a TV cook - cannot remember his name??...scrawny fellow who smoked.He travelled the world recording the eating of unusual wildlife and all parts of animals.
I remember the Portugal episode, where, after eating or salting down the whole pig, they inflated the bladder and used it as a soccer ball.

PRobably do eat the yucky bits by your standards others here would make use of more than I do but on my own land I used to certainly use the heart lungs liver and the kidneys I have made sausage casings from intestines and I tried the stomach but it didn't do anything for me so my ex father in law got that. The rest was either composted or feed to chooks.
These days I don't keep livestock but do hunt so generally most is left because theres not usually enough room for everything on the walk out though I do like the heart and liver if not shot up and also sometimes Kidneys though usually that is eaten in the bush (mmmm venison liver kebabs over an open fire). I have Islander friends who always eat the livers and other parts of the fish intestines when we catch something, I don't because I am not keen on the taste.
Rabbit liver and kidneys are very very nice too :)
