Exploring Taboo Foods: Where do you draw the line?
In this episode of the Okayest Cook Podcast, host Chris Whonsetler discusses taboo foods with co-hosts, Colton Heiniger, and Andy Heiser. Despite facing some technical issues, they engage in a lively conversation starting with the provocative question: 'Would you eat your dog in a life-or-death scenario?' They discuss the cultural context of taboo foods, share personal anecdotes about various uncommon dishes, and talk about the benefits and challenges of nose-to-tail eating. The conversation extends to topics like hunting practices, food preparation, and personal boundaries when it comes to consuming unconventional meats. The episode also includes a recipe for wild boar crepinettes provided by chef Chris Eley, owner of Smoking Goose in Indianapolis, emphasizing the importance of utilizing often discarded parts of the animal like liver, heart, and caul fat.
