Strangest Meals
Have you ever eaten something that is really strange? I know a lot of people prefer their food recognizable and delicious. However when I was a child I had the strangest food cravings. I absolutely loved eating strawberry shortcake and washing it down with buttermilk. It was great to me and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

In Latvia it is common for poorer people to eat brains I just don’t know if cow or pig but they are available and they are cheap. Hey, if you have to feed a big family then it is a consideration. We have lots of struggling families here.
I mentioned the pig’s feet and head well they get boiled and the broth is a type that will solidify like jelly. When the meat is nice and tender you then take the meat from the feet, head and I even add meat from pork hocks so there is more. Take all of this and cut it up then take small or medium sized bowls. At the bottom of each bowl add slices of boiled egg and carrot then the chopped up meat about a couple of large spoonfuls or more and after you have filled the bowls pour hot broth over the contents in each bowl. Place them in the fridge and they become like Jell-O. Remove the contents of one bowl slice and eat. You can splash with some vinegar, fresh lemon juice or put on mustard. It is a a cold and delicious
