Edible? Yes. Appetizing? Not always. This week, Tidbits cooks up some unusual foods that you might not eat if you knew what they were!

a chunk of meat is when you open up a can of SPAM. This little tin contains choppedpork shoulder and ham meat, hence the name, SpicedMeatAndHam.Firstmanufacturedin1937, the luncheon meat was a popular staple for soldiers during World War II. Since itsinvention, more than seven billion cans have been sold.

• At holiday time, many Norwegians fix atraditional dish known as Smalahove. This yummydish ispreparedfirst by torching theskin and fleece of a sheep’s head, removingthe brain, then boiling the head for about three hours. Arrange some rutabagas and potatoes around it on a platter, and there you have your Christmas feast!

•You’renotgettingdessertwhenyouorderblackpuddingafterameal.Ratheryou’llbeserveda sausage made up of animal blood, fat, rolled oats and spices. Depending on where you live, that blood could come from a pig, cow, sheep, duck or goat. Some recipes add chestnuts, sweet potato or barley to the mix. A yummy Asian snack, the pig’s blood cake, combinesblood with sticky rice, fries it and serves it on a popsicle stick.

• The process ofmaking Polish blood soup isa tricky one. The head of a live duck must be chopped off and its blood collected in the cooking pot. Throw in some vinegar, onions, celery, parsley, sugar and some dumplings, and there you have it! Some cooks like to add dried fruit, such as prunes, pears or apples.

• When folks down South talk about eatingchit’lins, they are referring to chitterlings.This lip-smacking dish is the small intestines of pigs, boiled for several hours, then battered and fried and served with vinegar and hot sauce on the side.

THAT’S SO CHEESY!Mostofuseatcheeseseveraltimesaweekbutmightnotknowwhatwe’re reallyeating.Thisweek, Tidbits brings you some facts about the process and a few different popular types. • Even though theUnitedStates is theworld’sleading producer of cheese, (Wisconsin andCalifornia are the leaders in production),Greece and France consume the most percapita.TheUnitedStatesalsodoesn’thavethemostdistinctvarieties.GreatBritainproducesabout 700 different cheeses, and France andItalyproduceabout400each.

• Theflavor,colorandtextureofacheesevariesby type of milk used, the bacteria or acids used to separate the milk, the length of aging and the addition of certain herbs or particular molds. Mostcheese ismade from themilkofcows,sheep or goats, although the milk of yaks, horses, buffalo, camels and even reindeer can beused.OnetypeofMozzarellacheesecomesfrom the milk of a water buffalo. A very rare cheese comes from a Swedish farm that raises threemoose.Because the lactation period ofamoose lasts only threemonths, this farm’smooseproduceonly660pounds (300kg)ofcheese per year, and it sells for about $2,000 perpound($1,000perkg).

•IfyouwanttrueRoquefortcheese,lookforared sheep on the foil label. This means it has been aged in limestone caves near the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in the south ofFrance. France’s King Charles VI gave solerights for making this cheese to the village in 1411.Madefromsheep’smilk,itsdistinctiveblue veins come from the mold Pencillium roqueforti, which is injected into the cheese and grows within as it ages.

• If you’ve ever smelled Limburger cheese,you’ll remember its unpleasant odor. That’sbecause the bacteria that is introduced to the goat’smilkistheonefoundonhumanskinthatcontributes to body odor. Produced primarily in Germany and the Netherlands, there areonly two makers of this pungent cheese in all of North America.

• J.L. Kraft was responsible for introducingprocessed cheese (often called American cheese)tothemarketplacein1915.Itconsistsof melted cheese with added milk and butter.

•WhatexactlywasLittleMissMuffeteatingasshe sat on her tuffet? During the cheese-making process, the milk is separated into solid curds andtheliquidwheybyaddinganacid(suchasvinegar)orastarterbacteriatosourthemilk,followed by heating. Curds are really a raw or unprocessed cheese, such as cottage cheese.

•Doyouknowwhichcheesegoeswithwhichwine? A mild goat cheese is a good match with alight,fruitywinesuchasSauvignonBlanc,but a strong tangy goat cheese goes best with aBurgundy.Pairupa strong-flavoredcheesesuch as Provolone with a robust red wine like Chianti. Serve Zinfandel or Cabernet SauvignonwithamellowcheeselikeGouda.The soft Brie cheese is best served withchampagne.
