Tapeworms are a great diet aid. Cheaper than stomach surgery.
They should be marketed at the “Colon Buddy.”
Proverbs 12:27 A slothful man does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a man is diligence.
I used to eat sushi and sashimi quite often. I asked a gastroenterologist what he thought of sushi. He said, “Let me put it this way: I wouldn’t eat it.” I figured he was referring to possible medical dangers such as tapeworms.
I was told my grandmother had a tape worm and the “cure” was starving the person for days then putting warm milk in front of them and they would crawl out of the mouth to eat.
Is that an old wives tale?
Not for the squeamish: Go to Bing and search for “tapeworm.” Click on images.
Lox, ceriche, there are all sorts of names for such fish. It's not just sushi.
The trend I don't like is "seared fish". Either cook the tuna all the way through or serve it raw. Don't go half-way.
Lake Michigan traditions
1. First King of the year is slabbed on the boat and everyone feasts on paper thin slices. (I like cucumbers and sea salt with mine, please.)
2. First instance of eggs in a female means a BIG spoonful of em, washed down with an ice cold beer. (I like the “pop” when you bite down on them.)
