Posted mostly for the menu. And Congresswoman Cortex, akaAOC, aka Sandy Cortez, the "rich", at least the productive ones will survive your taxes and your green economy deprivations. Not sure the article made the point, I only scanned it, but only the rich ate the rats and feral cats. Louse taste, and only expensive chefs could create sauces to make them palatable. And the poor needed someone to sell them too. Class warfare doesn't always end well for the lower classes. AOC and her compatriots are, of course, part of the elite. Though I doubt she'll be enjoying dog cutlets or ragout of cat with Nancy any time soon.

It ain't pork or chicken, but a fat Siamese, Yet the food tastes great, so ya don't complain, But that's not chicken in your chicken chow mein. Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork, But Garfield's on my fork, Did you ever think when you eat Chinese,He's purrin here on my fork... There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon, The place that I eat everyday at noon, They can feed you cat and you'll never know, Once they wrap it up in dough, boys, They fry it real crisp in dough.

Chou Lin asked if I wanted more, As he was dialin up his buddy at the old pet store, I said not today, I lost my apettite, There's two cats in my belly and they want to fight, I was suckin on a Rolaid and a Tums or two, When I swear I heard it mew, boy, And that is when I knew...

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon, I think I gotta stop eating there at noon, They say that it's beef or fish or pork, But it's purrin there on my fork, There's a hairball on my fork.

A little off topic, still if we're eliminating ruminants from the menu, and the country, we're going to have to eat something that doesn't chew it's cud. Lot's of fish out there to be caught from canoes, and we won't be able to import anything. Perhaps a few sailboats of shrimp, but the rest of the world won't participate in our insanity. Our zoos are an asset, we should start breeding programs of non ruminants now. In a decade, we'll have an industry that can provide protein to Congress, and maybe officials of some large urban areas.

I remember reading a diary from the siege. One of the fancy dinner parties featured as a main course a large rat surrounded by mice on the platter.

Napoleon III missed the siege - he had taken the army east to Sedan, and was defeated and captured by the Prussians there. The Germans were led militarily by von Moltke and Wilhelm.
