pork intestines and chive flowers.

[ursula]

I asked for pork uteri, which prompted first incredulity, then a worried conversation and the assertion that the restaurant was out. Explaining that my grandfather's grandmother was Chinese and my grandfather born in China had no effect, unless that was the secret handshake that netted me intestines and slightly budding chives.

(I fear this is becoming ridiculous.)

[Same game.]

For the record, intestine is like squid, only meat-flavored and less rubbery.

y'all are reactin' too much. It ain't nothing worse than chittlin's.

Though I had the opposite problem. Ordered some Pho and didn't realize it came with Tripe. :P Not uneatable, but not my favorite thing in the world by a long shot.

Mmmm, tripe!
