I have to admit that after some travel and deep diving into international recipe books for a while leaves me feeling that American food is, in a way, incredibly limited on ingredients and preparation types.
Even most Western countries outside of the US commonly use things like pig feet, beef knuckles, organ meat, and a wide variety of fermented foods outside of just fermented grains.
What are some unusual foods you've tried or positive experiences with food outside your comfort zone?
For me, I buy chicken feet fairly regularly because it's an inexpensive way to make really, really good chicken stock with lots of collagen and bone minerals.
