My most horrible food mistake so far...

but at the same time people eat chicken feet, that is just as weird.

They don't really, they're just something they put the crazy hot chilli sauce on for you to slurp off

Our school milk came in tiny bottles and was delivered fresh every day. Loved it.

I enjoy cold milk too. I was raised on unpasteurised milk from a local TB tested dairy herd.
Sadly our 1/3 bottles of pasteurised milk were delivered to school each morning, not chilled, and to make it worse the primary school teachers thought even cool milk was too much for the poor darlings and lined it up on top of the classroom radiators for 2 hours before we had to drink it.
Disgusting !

It gets worse, rather than use a spoon or other utensil they use chicken feet as a utensil. I suppose it saves on the washing up but licking chicken feet is some fetish !

Yes - you can also get 1/3 pint glasses as well, sometimes sold as ale tasting glasses.

One of my fondest childhood memories is my grandfather giving me small glasses of cold milk from his ice encrusted gas fridge when I was about 4. I still drink cold milk even though it sometimes gives me a bit of gyp.

I'd forgotten about these. Never tried them and never intend to. Must be far worse than tripe: https://b2b.goldencrop.fi/shop/80599-raw-natural-pork-rectum-1kg-1kg-3747

Pig rectum indeed. Well they do say with a pig you can eat everything except the squeak.

Never tried chicken feet and did wonder how they used them other than as a means of jellifying stock. No different to pigs trotters really I suppose. When we get chicken from our butcher I usually ask for extra carcasses and you often get feet and heads in the bag. I've tried cooking the combs, but the feet re washed and go in the stock pot.

Actually, they're not.
Deffo chewy and in need of a good sauce

Brown sauce?

Ordering Chicken feet in a restaurant in Beijing was a mistake - a bowl of broth with green and brown feet floating in it. Not very appetising. But - the duck tongues we also ordered were OK if a bit of a faff. You had to scrape the meat off the cartalege with you teeth but it did taste OK.

Dislikes -
Mushrooms, in fact all fungi, with the exception of grated black truffle.
Shellfish. ALL shellfish
Most fish types, apart from maybe haddock or cod as in fish&chips
99.9999% of vegetables, potatoes being the only exception
Offal, the clue is in the name - it's awful.

As another ex-butcher i love meat, Pork, Lamb, Beef and maybe chicken, as long as the chicken isn't on the bone.

I think my very favourite food is scallops.

My wife loves pickled walnuts.
Regular variety are bad enough to my mind, but pickled, ugh.

That reminds me of the walnut liqueur my father brought back from Czechoslovakia. Absolutely foul. It went to five parties and came back until a very drunk scowser at the sixth took a swig, declared it to be not too bad and downed the bottle.

I think it was Bear Grylls in one of his shows visited a Bedouin camp.
They had slaughtered a goat for a feast in his honour, so there they all are sitting around and the headman shows him the raw goats testicles.
The interpreter explains these are considered a great delicacy.
So, not wishing to cause offence, Bear pops one in his mouth and starts chewing away. Much hilarity amongst assembled Bedouin. When he eventually manages to get it down he asks the interpreter what they are all laughing at.
"Oh, just that they usually cook them first!"
