Salut Juan, du SINGE, des c.... de taureau, des CAFARDS VIVANTS (!!), de la langue de boeuf, du serpent, du groing de cochon... I suppose it should be easier to ask you what haven't you try yet?!! YYYYUUUKKK!!!
Philip Taylor (asker) Mar 27, 2006:
Désolé Juan, c’est un texte général qui parle de quelques plats conseillés etc, sans nommer des restaurants où on peut les acheter.
Juan Jacob Mar 27, 2006:
Ah ben oui alors, si c'est incontournable, ça doit se manger. J'ai bein mangé des escargots, des sauterelles, du singe, des c.... de taureau, des cafards vivants, de la langue de boeuf, du serpent, du groing de cochon, mais là... on achète ça où ?
Philip Taylor (asker) Mar 27, 2006:
Ben oui, c'est "incontournable" !

cock's comb and chicken kidneys

I've seen recipes for sausage with these ingredients. Now I know why I'm vegetarian.

You are irrepressible, Tony. Thanks!
neutral Francis MARC : mon grain de sel: ce qu'on appelle avec pudeur les "rognos blancs" de coq sont ses glandes sexuelles (les "roustons" comme on dit à la campagne)

Yes, me too. I actually used this same link as a ref. above
agree Mark Nathan : the kidneys are those silky things that look like little beans. In fact rognon de coq is also a type of red bean (but not here, I don't think).
