I’ll bet dessert was Chinese Gooseberries, right?
The American dream is that of "a shining city on a hill." The liberals lust for a mansion on a hill supported by serfs in the field. They get the Chilean Sea Bass we get the fish sticks: If we behave ourselves.
Al Gore: World's biggest windbag and phony.
What’s the problem here? Chilean Sea Bass (also known by the name Dissostichus eleginoides or Patagonian Toothfish is a legal fish species, though regulated.
Ducks are regulated too - so does that mean if he eats duck for dinner we should beat him down?
I do wonder how many of his Carbon Credits he burned up to have that meal, though.
Those laser beams can sure make a nice warm meal.
Escolar is fantanstic. However its hard to find in Seattle. Evidently a bunch of fish markets including Whole Foods won't carry it because its rumored to cause the "runs" in some people. I'm evidently not one of them.
Have you ever heard that? Personally, picking between Escolar and Chilean Sea Bass would be a tough choice.
Im familiar with the rumors - a local columnist had experience with it

forgot to mention that grouper is my personal favorite - followed by mahi mahi, and of course a nice haddock fish fry
And then there’s the story of how 1 chef, and 1 recipe, almost wiped out another species - redfish.
Very true. But it’s made a tasty comeback!
I have no idea about the redfish. Can you point me to any sources where I can read more?
I tried a Google search but didn’t get many relevant results.
these factory ships lay out nets that leave a path of destruction on the seabed, slurping up all the fish, and everything on a wide swath, leaving an underwater desert... these ships IMHO are one the most significant causes in the species decline
And credits on Harpy daughters
“Escolar is fantanstic. However its hard to find in Seattle. Evidently a bunch of fish markets including Whole Foods won’t carry it because its rumored to cause the “runs” in some people.”
Purchasing the fillets from a source which does the following will probably remove the “runs” problem:
1. Provide American style toilets.
2. Stock the toilet room with toilet paper.
3. Install, and maintain, sinks (with soap, even!).
4. Insist that the employees be taught how to use them.
In the American food industry, cleanliness IS godliness.

Wed Jul 18, 2007 at 06:29:21 PM PDT At a reception that was decidedly upscale and beyond the reach of the average Democratic voter, Al Gore's daughter got married at a lavish Beverly Hills ceremony. On the menu at the "rehearsal dinner" was the endangered chilean sea bass (link to article about wedding and about fish's endangered status), for 75 people. It seems that the same people who preach self-abnegation for the average person, e.g. Al Gore in the US, and David Suzuki in Canada, have problems foregoing such luxuries as private jets, SUV's, tour buses and limousines. Big houses full of creature comforts are for them; "green" living is for the hoi-poloi. Though I am a liberal Democrat, I am ashamed that we share the hypocrisy of the right, and are equally out of touch with ordinary people. What can ordinary, hard working people who may be asked to pay a "carbon tax" be thinking?
If anyone thinks that Al Gore would provide leadership that any sane person could respect, think again.

SATURDAY JULY 14, 2007 11:30 PM EDT
By Ulrica Wihlborg The youngest of Al Gore's three daughters, Sarah Gore, 28, married businessman Bill Lee in Beverly Hills on Saturday, family spokesperson Kalee Kreider confirms to PEOPLE.
The bride, who is taking her husband's last name, wore a gown by Monique Lhuillier at the wedding, which took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Willie Nelson performed at the reception, according to a family friend who was there and described it as "a great party."

"As one person joked during the wedding toasts, global warming helped bring Sarah and Bill together," the family friend tells PEOPLE.
The Gore family hosted a rehearsal dinner for 75 family and friends the previous evening at Beverly Hills' Crustacean restaurant, a longtime favorite of the Gores.
Executive chef Helene An created a six-course tasting menu that included Chilean sea bass and roasted crab.

Your troll diary is BS. Just like your only other diary - JBG is a troll.
My other diary was about Thomas Eagleton's effort to better himself and function normally in the face of bi-polar disorder. The self-expressed ideology of that era was expressed in this Laura Nyro song, popularized on "Hair", (link to lyrics)
Song: Easy to Be Hard Lyrics
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to help out
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
They ARE card carrying Libroids.
;-(
The guy has to keep his strength up somehow. Pontificating about poverty is hard work. The poor guy is wasting away.
I like any fish, as long as it's deep-fried.
well - if we're going to add the "fry" food group - lets not forget catfish and hushpuppies
