It’s just about the end of the quarter and I’m just about finished with the prerequisites for entry into the Paramedic Program. Medical Terminology was a breeze and A&P II has been a lot of fun this quarter. My Anatomy prof has a pretty good sense of humor, so as an “extra credit gimme” he offered 10 extra points to anyone who would bring in a cooked, edible item that was not skeletal muscle or bone As an incentive to taste test, he offered 2 extra points to everyone who tried more than one thing.
So, this morning after lecture, we had a weird buffet of Chicken Hearts, Pig Brains, Calf Livers, Beef Kidneys and Chicken and Duck Gizzards…as well as a strange dish made by a Romanian guy that consisted of cooked pig ears and hoofs in a snotty, viscous jelly. It looked so disgusting that the prof offered an extra point to anyone who ate some.
I will admit, most of the offerings were pretty tasty. My contribution was a mess of pan fried gizzards, which went over pretty well. I tried everything, including the hooves in snot sauce. However, I did need to grab a large coffee on the way home to wash the taste of liver out of my mouth.
