Also: Monkey-on-a-stick. Which might easily be dog or cat. Or even rat.

Lol


Maybe it was dog-on-a-stick that was actually monkey. Whatever, I didn't ask too many questions of the street vendor.

While in Thailand, ate something that I was told was cockroachs. Vaguely reminded me of lobster. Or maybe it just brought back the memory of my marinebiology professor telling the class how cockroaches and lobsters are "related".

Then there was that snake drink we weren't suppose to partake of in Japan. Also learned to enjoy sushi and raw fish while there.

I seem to remember something with eyeballs.....

Man, in my country you can even buy the lizards tied to a wood plank and string for easy transport!!! Yum yum, delicious lizard, we also make sausage out of this , which in short is a big giant hairy rat Twisted

You all made me hungry for a chiguire burger! Miss my homeland´s cuisine sometimes ...


Like a good German Americian, I'll eat almost anything if it's made into sausage.

My wife, who is Latina, was eating a lenga burrito one day. Asked what she was eating, and in a complete dead-pan look, told me it was tongue. Told me I probably wouldn't like it. Informed her as a person of "proper" German upbringing, I've had tongue, lungs, and just about any part of a cow, pig, or chicken.

My grandmother, who was German, would send out Igor for stuff like that. I never asked questions.

The way i see it, if God didn't intend us to eat certain animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.

Every creature has a place, on my plate next to the taters and gravy.

I've eaten horse, snake, rabbit, hare, kangaroo, ostrich and numerous other creatures (ox heart.. yueegh, repeated on me for days). The only problem I see is the mislabelling of contents.

A friend of mine farms, he has a couple of pigs and a sheep as pets, they have names so they won't get eaten. Everything that isn't personified with a name is food as far as he's concerned.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Humans lack primate muscle and skin, if that was your reason. Supposedly humans taste exactly like pork.

Can't say i'm very fond of monkeys, myself. Although unsure if i'd ever eat one.

The funniest thing about this is that noone knew the difference, so mechanically recovered horse meat cant taste all that diferant to mechanically recovered cow meat.

That is very close to true. They had to do DNA testing to figure out which meat is which, and how much of it is horse.

They were not pure 'slabs' of the meat. They were buried in things like lasagna where a strong tomato flavor would hide the flavor difference to some degree.

Also, it's not that horse meat is bad for you, but horses have to be treated with a certain kind of anti-biotic that hangs around and does get into the meat system and is harmful to humans. That's the main issue from what I've read.

Bluntly all the cheap meat is the recovered part, of as we used to call it, "offel". Anus, eyeballs ect, the bits people don't want to think about they are eating. For those not in the know a Brit would rather starve and keep his dignity than eat horse meat. I beleive this comes from the Horse being a resource we had to keep alive centuries ago in the winters, people choose the horse over feeding themselves or their family because while a child could be replaced, a Horse needed to pull the plough. We don't have that much land, so considering the farming practices of then the laws against Horse make sense.

Also I dislike the idea that I'm eating Rainbow Dash Burgers.

I'll eat it if I must, but I'm more annoyed that it wasn't advertised as such.

On an unrelated note, most people in the UK seem think that meat comes from the Supermarket, not an animal. For that reason, I want to learn how to do this because I'm honestly squeamish myself about meat...
