Good luck!
Gracious! I couldn’t handle another chapter in Wen’s life w/o a little relief. Thank you for persevering and let me know what you find. I had a similar situation and found my Asian friend at the bottom of his pool. (He was a very good swimmer.) They do think we’re stupid.
Sorry, Darlin’, not a gourmet in our neck of the woods. Budget is paramount here—think “$3 per plate” and you’ll get our menu. Whenever we bring gifts of food to the bereaved around here, they usually report heartburn and thanks lol!
Goodness gracious! Is there anything you haven’t cooked/baked? More power to you!
I haven’t cooked, baked or otherwise prepared sushi, escargot or deep fried insects. Nor do I intend to.
I won’t cook internal organs, squirrel or skunk, nor will I eat “anything.” Even hunger has its limits.
I would like to escape this current jail of being so restrained... The jail of looking in the mirror and seeing the “perfect” Hallowe’en mask. *shudder*
You know I’d give you a kitteh if I could! But at least I can mail your vacuum bags back to you. Off to Walmart and PO now.
YAY! The thought counts, for sure! *hug*
Absolutely darling! Thank you for posting!
If the mod permits...
Actually, I read a story where the characters ate fried grasshoppers basted in honey, that made it sound interesting.
Nothing I’ve read makes sushi interesting.
I have nothing against squirrel, but I prefer a rabbit any day. I once lived in a part of the country so overgrown with rabbits I started buying bbq sauce in gallon jugs.
The only animal I categorically define as inedible is the prarie dog. I roasted one out of curiosity, and it was so rank and nasty, I had one nibble and gave it to a “woof woof” dog. He was smarter than me; one sniff and he wanted nothing to do with it.
Most of those are under “never been that hungry,” as far as I’m concerned.
My mother knew how to prepare many strange animal products. Then, I had cooking lessons from a couple of Trinidadian friends and learned about more unfamiliar products. The Filipinos served purple yams—have you ever had those? They’re yummy. When it comes to animal protein culinary scale, I’m tone deaf. *Love* working w/veggies, fruits, eggs and milk, and manage to make everything that’s good for you bad for you.
I’m a carnivore, so I like red meat, and I like turkey and chicken, but I seldom eat fish and shellfish. The latter I refer to as “underwater cockroaches.”
I have eaten rabbit and dove, but don’t like either of them. I also don’t like pheasant.
For a country girl, I’m kinda citified!
People cook skunk? I thought they just ran over them, poor little things.
You mean there are people who don’t buy BBQ sauce in gallon jugs?
Dave Barry refers to lobsters as looking like “giant river roaches.” Gimme yogurt and granola w/raisins and sunflower seeds (shelled) and I’m in heaven. Also salad piled high w/bleu cheese dressing over piles of shredded cheddar, sunflour seeds, and whatever else crunchy is available, followed by several desserts (chocolate, ice cream, dookies, etc.) Worked out w/power lifters who ate refritos on a regular basis. You just have to figure out the combination of nutrients which enables you to function most effectively.
Off to feed Horsey Lou.
HOpe you make the horse happy!
And I’m glad you liked the kitteh.
Everything that is good for you can be bad for you if you overdo it, which is why the Bible says, “everything in moderation.”
If one follows that line of thought, one should be OK throughout life.
