A cooking competition on the Food channel tonight includes frog leg in an appetzer dish. Don't think I could do frog. It was hard enough trying to eat shark's fin soup in Hong Kong. Reminded me of the joke about a guy who bets he can drink a mouthful of the contents of a spittoon. I love shark fin soup. The real ones ( not canned) can be quite pricey. But now there are attempts to ban it in many cities. I guess you don't do escargot either. The first time I tasted escargot was in Paris. I had escargot many times since then. But none measure up to the ones I had in Paris. I recall trying snails in England when I was very young, but I don't remember much about them except they were slimy. I have found that many exotic foods are flavored with something or other - many times garlic, and that's what people are thinking is delicious. Many of the better restaurants here in Mexico flavor fish and seafood with garlic, and folks rave about the dishes. Cilantro is another seasoning used to flavor foods and turn them into a "specialities". -- |

Winnie Yep, I had turtle soup at a "branch" of Owen Brennan's restaurant when I lived in Memphis. It was delicious but not something I'd attempt to make at home. I don't think they use sea turtles, BTW. Jill |

There's a restaurant just a few miles from my house that serves frog
legs. The restaurant is appropriately named The Foolish Frog. They're just dredged in seasoned flour and fried. I've never tried them. Most frog legs on the market are from India and produced in an unsustainable way with extreme cruelty (ripping the legs off the live frog). When I was in Penang I saw a stall selling Frog Porridge as its primary specialty. I'll try most things once, but not that. (I did have tinned frog legs many years ago before I knew how they were produced. They tasted fine). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

The first day we had him, and let him loose in the yard, he ran right up to Mousie, our grey cat at the time. That's all it took for her to back off and stay out of his way for the rest of his life. He co-existed with our dog, but I don't recall that they ever cuddled together. All three lived long lives. |

I'm not sure but this restaurant tries to use locally sourced food (South Carolina) so I don't think they're getting frog legs from India. I could be wrong.

I said I thought it was now illegal in the uk and she said not if the dog was a working dog and fetched the birds that had been shot on an organised shoot. She said that the tails of such dogs often got caught in the undergrowth so if they were going to be working in this way, then they had their tails docked by a vet. I am not against tail docking for working dogs. Spaniels especially as they wag so much when they are working and their tails get damaged. I am not in favour of docking for fashion. Lenny the poodle had his tail docked for fashion 10 years ago. He doesn't mind a jot. he has a good perfect tail |

I like venison, too, although I haven't had any for many years. I also enjoyed elk steaks with a friend whose boyfriend hunted but that was many years ago. Jill never ate elk. We dont get them here. Is it like venison? I love venison. and before anyone says it is not baby Bambi. I do not eat baby animals. I dont do veal Do you think that your cat has a soul? Do you think that all animals have one? I think they do, so I am asking myself why the hell am I eating meat? I'm with you on this. I wouldn't eat meat if I lived alone but DH and myself compromise, half our meals have no meat, we eat a lot of fish and poultry and some red meat. I'm too lazy to prepare two different meals. Judith unless we give up milk, we have to eat the males that are produced. Here they get two years grazing in a meadow before we eat them. Poultry and fish is still the same as eating cows and sheep and pigs. |
