Once the supply of food to their unit had failed. And a donkey passes by, within reach of their cannon ... Bang, and there was a big hole in the donkey's body. And the cannon crew had "fresh meat". Whether donkey was nice to eat, he never told me 🤣. I've heard of such things. One of my uncles in WWII at one point were eating just about anything they could find including horse, mule, and assorted small critters. Well.. it has been a trip. I'm leaving one of my favorites.

Baker Posted March 5, 2020 Share #243 Posted March 5, 2020 In this part of the world (Belgium) it is normal to eat horse meat and cow tongues (no donkeys ) I think that this has something to do with the past 2 world wars that we have experienced (and all the other wars before these 2 ) Then you eat what is available, or you eat nothing.

Canute Posted March 5, 2020 Share #244 Posted March 5, 2020 I worked on a store where we sold beef tongue in the US. Some folks liked the stuff. Had a beef flavor as I remember. Me, I was more a corned beef or pastrami fan working in that section(Kosher deli) of the store. Much preferred the Italian deli section of that store. More goodies I knew of, out side of head cheese. That was bits of meat(?) in a clear meat jelly.

lmagna Posted March 5, 2020 Share #245 Posted March 5, 2020 Here we go on another weird food train! Cow tongue is pretty common here in the PNW and as far as I know I have seen it on meat shelves all of my life. Also heart is readily available in the common market. I have eaten heart and found it pleasant but very lean with almost no fat, so hard to cook without making it tough. Tongue on the other hand is supposed to have a lot of fat but because of the look many people just cut it up into small pieces because of the look. I like Liver as well if it is not over cooked.

CDW Posted March 5, 2020 Share #246 Posted March 5, 2020 Every time I think about this it makes me laugh... My brother and I were visiting our nephew at the water plant where he worked one night when we observed a bunch of armadillos foraging on the plant grounds. My brother said he heard they were good to eat and suggested we catch some, take them home and cook them up. After chasing them around for a half hour or so, we finally managed to catch a couple of them. They appear to be slow moving, but if you try to catch one, they can run like rabbits. We bagged them in a croker sack, took them home and started to clean them. These darn things are so well armored, and their claws so sharp, we couldn't find a way to kill/clean them that seemed worth the effort. So we gave up and released them unharmed. It was comical as heck.

mtaylor Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share #248 Posted March 6, 2020 Yep... we drifted off to food. I think it's in our DNA... Had some off the wall foods in 'Nam doing MedCaps... muc nam, lots of rice and some other vegges but not sure what they were, and I think at on village we had dog. Not sure as they wouldn't tell us and as honored guests we weren't supposed to ask. On the Malaysian trip... cuttlefish, octopus, and eel. All those again from the villages on the coast (we did "good will" trips). Inland, I never asked just like in "Nam. Just bowed, thanked them and smiled while eating it. Once we left the village (both places), washed it down with beer.

mtaylor Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share #250 Posted March 6, 2020 Very true, Lou. When the locals food came, it was hot both in flavor and temperature and we were damn glad of it. Hmm.. might have been rat instead of chicken... who knows? It was lots of spices, a sauce, lots of rice and bits of meat. We didn't insult them by dragging out a spoon, some guys used chopsticks and the others of us used our fingers and everyone smiled, both us and the villagers. There was cross cultural stuff though. One village I remember had spoons for their "honored guests" who brought medicine, tobacco for the adults and candy for the children. Lovely people most of them.

I have seen people do that. I have never decided if I would like to or not. It is not really the time or the money, I have enough of both if needed. The area I was stationed was not really a tourist attraction in the first place, and probably mostly everything has been erased of our presence there. I think Part of my reluctance stems from the fear of really seeing how fleeting and possibly useless our time there really was, bringing credibility to what was happening by the Jane Fonda types here in the states and further discredit to our time there. The other side of me would like to show my wife and to a lesser extent my kids where it all happened and why it can't really be explained. I was able to go to the Vietnam wall in DC a few years ago, and pointed out a few names to my wife. It was clear that she still didn't understand when she said she had never seen me that way before.

Canute Posted March 6, 2020 Share #258 Posted March 6, 2020 A couple of my veteran groups run trips over to Nam on a random basis. I didn't leave anything over that way, except friends who won't be back. I know the Thais ate dog, saw some in their butcher shops in Korat City. They were always eying our mascot, Roscoe dog, with bad intent. And Roscoe gave it as good as he got; chased the guys off on a routine basis. mtaylor, coxswain, CDW and 3 others 6 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a dog we called Major, even had rank on his collar. He was always there when you came back from a flight and seemed to love everyone who was in a uniform. But with the exception of most of the Mama San and Papa San's in the company area HATED native people. Many called them "Gooks" back then. He would go into battle mode, all fangs and growls if approached by one. I never knew if it was smell or something else that triggered him but he never failed to let one get close to him but had no problems with any new GI who arrived or was there on business. I don't know what happened to him when we pulled out a few years later. As a dog that was born in Vietnam there is little chance he was allowed to go to the US with his company.

Canute Posted March 6, 2020 Share #260 Posted March 6, 2020 Well, Roscoe made it back to the States, to Hill AFB, Utah, where he lived for a number of years. He supposedly came to Korat in one of the early arrival aircraft in 65-66 or so, from Kadena AB on Okinawa. He had his own party suit, a blue dog's coat with the rank of Colonel. He had the run of the base, even stopping the CO's jeeps if he wanted a ride by sitting in the appropriate lane facing the Colonel. He could forecast how tough our missions up over the North of Viet Nam would be by whether he was sitting up paying attention to the briefers or laying on a chair, napping. His forecasts were better than the success rates for the weather briefers. That's why one of my current dogs is named Roscoe, in memory of the mascot at Korat. coxswain, lmagna, Old Collingwood and 4 others 7 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
