Some way is desperately needed to get more people eating bizarre foods on a regular basis. I suggest a bizarre food party, in which all bizarre food lovers bring a favorite dish to pass. Another approach might be to bring some raw materials, and see what happens. While on the subject, some of my favorites include: 1) Stawberry licorice dipped in picante sauce. 2) Apple jelly, mustard, and black pepper sandwich. 3) Root beer, concentrated orange juice (with pulp), and lime Kool Aid. My brother and I spend a lot of time working out a drinkable formula by taste, only to find that a visual approach makes a very good first approximation. Mix the Kool Aid and OJ 50/50. Then add root beer until the color suddenly flashes over from a murky green to light brown.

Some bizarre foods I actually like: - roasted peanuts in the shell (good fiber, saves time) - raw potatoes (pleasing crunch; an acquired taste) - cabbage, cauliflower, and turnip salad (spicy dressing is the key) Alan (no indigestion either) Silverstein

> Some bizarre foods I actually like: > > - raw potatoes (pleasing crunch; an acquired taste) > > Alan (no indigestion either) Silverstein I don't know about the no indigestion part, but raw potatoes contain an alkloid called solanine which is reputed to be somewhat toxic. I believe more of it is concentrated in the skins. I don't know what the symptoms are, but if you were real lucky you might have the pleasure of an episode of extreme uncontrollable vomiting which might even be more fun than eating a raw potatoe to begin with.
