Abstract
Recent reports of problem foods in Mainland China have raised global concerns about the safety of Chinese food products. Drawing on reliable data extracted from Chinese newspapers, magazines and the Internet, this report, the second in the series, takes a closer look at the hair-made soy sauce, a common kitchen-accessory for marinating and seasoning foods. It seeks to inform the scientific and medical communities regarding the potential short- and long-term epidemic consequences of consuming such soy sauce

The dish is absolutely delicious - no one would be able to guess the ingredients by the taste.
Another anchovy favorite is spaghetti putanesca. You can find it occasionally in Italian restaurants. Lots of salty anchovies and olives. Lots of garlic, too, along with chopped tomatoes and capers.
Again, it's not to everyone's taste, for sure, but it's authentic Italian cuisine, invented by prostitutes as a cheap pasta dish, hence the "putanesca" name.
I order it whenever I find it on the menu, but never make it myself, since nobody else in my household or among my friends will touch it.
There are a number of good recipes on the web for it, though, and there are lots of variations.
PYO is ALWAYS more fun.
We go pick everything that is in season.
I just tried planting a few bushes. After the birds started coming, I was going to net the bushes; but my kids wanted the birds in the yard. So I let them enjoy the show.
I really enjoy a thin crust 'Deluxe' / 'Supreme ' / 'The Works' pizza with anchovies and jalapenos. Every person I've convinced to try a slice, well....they really appreciate the combo of flavors.
It is a derivative from the ancient Roman fermented fish sauce. After the Romans "cut and ran" from Britain - the Brits had acquired a taste for it. It has slowly evolved into today's Worcestershire Sauce.
The traditional recipe for Worcestershire sauce includes an unbelievable array of ingredients: anchovies, tamarind, coffee, vinegar, spices, sugar, garlic, onions, apples and a host of other ingredients.
No human hair.
"There's a famous Veal recipe from Vienna that has anchovies and lamb kidneys rolled into a veal roast. "
Sounds yummy. The funny thing is that most people don't know that a crucial ingredient in a Caesar Salad is anchovies. They never see them, so they don't know they're in there.
FDA - Good!
Except, this week maybe. Whats this FDA shenanagins about compromising with Barr Labs to market Plan B!?!? $#%#$^
I can't believe I'm about to do this....but.....
Miles and miles of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Itty bitty birdie feet
Miles and miles of petrified pelican puke
And I forgot my spoon.........
"It is a derivative from the ancient Roman fermented fish sauce."
Yup, garum. It's still around, actually. You can find it in any Italian specialty grocery. Gosh, I like food!
Yes. along with stir fry liver and spleen.
But hair is just crossing the line! Bleagh!

Nope. But you will be!
Chinese food: If it ain't metal, it's edible.
"And (fill in the name) ate it all."
The "fill in the name, of course was always my brother or sister's name.
I love putanesca. Thankfully everyone in my house also loves it, because good Italian restaurants do NOT exist where we live.
I had some leftover pasta shells one day last week, they just had butter, parmesan, and garlic on them, so I added chopped ham, cheddar cheese, capers, calvatos olives, and italian dressing.......it was great. I'm thinking about making it for dinner one night this week, and plan on adding anchovies to it.
A pastor, known for his lengthy sermons, noticed a man get up and leave during the middle of his message. The man returned just before the conclusion of the service. Afterwards the pastor asked the man where he had gone.
"I went to get a haircut," was the reply.
"But," said the pastor, "why didn't you do that before the service?"
"Because," the gentleman said, "I didn't need one then."
How does the barber cut the moon's hair?
Eclipse it.
The things we do for our kids...........
My blueberry bushes are too young to be producing yet. Same with my raspberries, I planted 12 of them this year.
When we go back I'm again going primarily for the blueberries. I'll do apples later in September. By then I'll have bought enough jars to do apple sauce and apple butter.
My friend's youngest will be 2 in October.....what a blast she had picking the berries....everytime one squished in her hand she put up her hand and say "Dirty."
When we went the first time last year, I was still on crutches and so did most of my picking while sitting on the ground.........that was exactly how we all did it today. It seems most people stand and walk around the bushes, leaving tons and tons on the lower branches.
You and me both..........I could talk about it and swap recipes all day long.
Thursday a friend asked me about making jalapeno poppers. On Saturday I handed her a disk with a 14 page word document filled with recipes for them I have acquired over the years.......fried, baked, grilled, broiled........she's in heaven!
