[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to call this weird because it's cultural, but for me it was a Romanian dish called piftie which is a chilled, molded gel (so an aspic) made from various parts of the pig. This one included the ear.

I really wish I had tried it but I think I said I wasn't feeling well and couldn't eat anything. [/quote]
I am from the Balkans and grandma used to make this. There are parts of it that are ok if you like cartilage which people in the region eat. It is supposed to be, actually, really good for your bones and skin and health. Do you know that collagen trend that we are all supposed to get now? Yep, bone broths and cartilage. It is like jello on steroids that nasty pihtie. My Croatian friend swears by cartilage and fed it to her athlete dd who is a life guard and a firefighter now (not kidding, a 25-year-old woman passed all of it and is among the first firemen/women in her county if not in all of her state. She competes and represents the U.S. in lifeguard competitions around the world.[/quote]
