HA! HA!..LOL!...Emu & Roo steaks! While we're @ it...can we get some Real Texas Chili Recipes on here, too. :)

I know what you mean.
I gave up on the "by the book" art of rat care after that.
The last two I had got the remains of whatever we had for breakfast/lunch/dinner plus some dry dog food every day.
They did pretty well on that "diet"....:))
I used to give them that weird breakfast cereal that was *supposed* to look/taste like french toast simply because it cracked me up to watch them munching their tiny "sandwiches"....LOL!

It's a big chicken and a two legged deer. Unfortunately, neither ostrich nor kangaroo meat are kosher.

True. That's why I mentioned substitutions, deer (farm raised and properly slaughtered, of course) and chicken.

"onions or grapes"

I always heard chocolate would kill a dog. I left a huge bowl of Halloween chocolate and my 2 Rodesian Ridgebacks got them. They ate them wrappers & all & never had a sick moment. My brother is a vet I'll ask him about the onions & grapes.

Your right it is not Kosher to eat Kangaroos Ostrich and Emu's..no one should eat them....

[missyme]

Okay so now you cannot eat roo roos and emus :0)

Interesting story!

[dagoofyfoot]

That is disgusting!


Meats meat, and a man has to eat!


I won't ever eat a reptile again, tried Alligator once....it was horrible!

[missyme]

Well I did have Gator tail and it was pretty tasty, but I would not eat Zoo animals....Anyways men don't need to eat bunches of meat because it is not good for there hearts as they age...

Dark semi-sweet chocolate is very dangerous. Almost killed my Sheltie when he got into my grocery bags.
On the other hand, I had a little 12 lb Chihauhaua Pomeranian mix who was a freak for M&M's. He died a few days short of his 19th birthday of old age.
Aww- this thread makes me miss my boys...

Same critter, farm raised, which you likely ate, zoo or wild.

[dagoofyfoot]

Well I did have Gator tail


You liked Gator tail?!


I'm a very adventerous eater, I like to go to the Shushi Bar and try every thing.


But Gator has nothing good about it. It just plain sucks!


What did you like about it?

[missyme]

Well I liked it before I knew it was a gator because it tasted like Calamari. But I believe the gator came from a farm, he was not from the wild...

I can eat some sushi if it is not slimy looking...

[I-53]

We have a very old dog who has never eaten onions, grapes nor olives. If given any of the aforementioned, he will lie down on his back and roll on them.

[SJackson]

Check out this dog. His thread won't get anywhere near as many posts as the old dog thread we're on, and both combined won't be a quarter of the cat thread posts. It's all in the thread title.

I've never seen slimy looking sushi. Because all the good sushi is up here in Orange County, (San Clemente).


I tried one place in the Gas Lamp district down in your neck of the woods.

It wasn't very good...

[null and void]

If if doesn't squeal, it's not a meal...

[missyme]

I use to eat sushi at a great place in Carlsbad called Belle Fluer Singi ran the sushi bar and I liked most everything he prepared, but then he just walked off the job and took the sushi bar with him...At any rate it's the seaweed wrapping I can't get into sometimes...

My great aunt used to smoke 2 packs a day with her beloved terrier in her lap. The aunt lived to 93 years of age, the dog to 18 years. I think she embalmed both herself and the dog with all of the smoke; they died within two weeks of each other.

They have plenty alternatives to the seaweed wrapping, (It's kinda' tough). I like the white "soy" paper, it's much easier to bite into with out pulling the whole darn thing apart.


My buddy is a sushi chef up here at a place called "Ichibiris" in San Clemente...

Ever heard of it?
