I ate a spotted owl once. It tasted like a bald eagle. Goes very well with native salmon.
You asked why people don’t raise chickens or pigs.
In my area it’s a zoning issue.
I’m not allowed to.
Wouldn’t call groundhog delicious but it is pretty good
When my kids were young, I got them all excited about having Tube Steak Casserole for dinner one night.
Hilarity ensued when I plunked beans and hot dogs on the table
Ostrich is delicious and tender and could pass for a good steak any day of the week.
***NUTRIA***
I remember the late 1950s when TV stations were advertising NUTRIA as a grow-at-home money making venture! Grow them in your garage, or basement! Sell the fur!
Then the market collapsed and the first “pyramid scheme” I ever heard of collapsed.
So people who could not sell them released them in the swamps, just like the EMUs about 20 years back.
I read, years ago, that Cuban pigs were infected with African Swine Sickness, and the US was worried it might come there, through Cuban trade with Mexico.
*You mean like out of a toilet? (Idiocracy)
Remember Snuffy Smith, always getting arrested for stealing Chickens?
Heck, even mink and ermine are out of fashion now.........
Cubans are lucky. They already
get the ‘raw water’ that coastal
elites are paying fifteen dollars
a gallon for. What’s not to like?
Years ago I read Castro had promoted the growing of flowers as he held the food in reserve to coerce the population to work for the food HE provided. No labor, no food.
Much like Mao did the same for Communist China. So much labor, so many food credits.
“or maybe a port.”
Maybe reduced to a sauce . . .
And I bet you cooked it over a fire made with Amazon hardwood! Best there is!
They live on an island tropical paradise. What? They can’t fish? Mangoes and guavas growing all over the place? What?
No tiene sentido. Nada.
A friend of mine bragged about how he put meat in front of his kids.
He would drive them to the grocery store. line them in front of the meat counter, say..”THIS is MEAT!” Then take them home to mush.
Which reminds me, when we were young, in the 1950s and 1960s, we had so many brown beans for supper, even today my brother will not eat a bean.
Also reminds me of the movie ISLAND IN THE SKY in which the starving crew of a crashed aircraft, in the arctic, finally gets a food drop. The first thing John Wayne did was grab the SPAM, and throw it as far away as he could.
He probably doesn’t know that you eat a shoe
by cutting off one bite-sized piece at a time.
I’ve seen his type stick the whole toe in his
mouth and bite down like he was eating a leather
submarine sandwich.
Give me a crisp flip-flop appetizer followed by
a pair of low-cal sandals and gravy any time.
And heel!
