You are fortunate, and like you I enjoy watching the reaction
of some of the supermarket kids at the more esoteric stuff
that I buy. The last one I had to explain was sweetbreads.
But did you mean "dismay" in the last sentence??

Sorry, you meant the "dismay" of the supermarket kid.
Yeah, I can just imagine.

LOL! You got the quote wrong though.
It's "Danger, danger, Will Robinson"
And I always thought that Penny was cute too. heheh
She was about my age at the time.

I saw a package of chicken feet in a grocery once. It freaked me
out....looked like a package of giant spiders. heheheh

Also, long ago, I worked with an old country fellow. He liked them. His
wife would simmer them for soup broth, then he liked to sit there and gnaw
on them for a snack.
