Though it has been said that eating people is more like
eating sheep - I've reported here Idi Amin's practice of
inviting people over for a meal of mutton, which was his
political enemies repurposed.
I wouldn't know, not having tried eating people... and no, that wouldn't
be a good picnic experiment... on multiple levels.... ;0
It's not highly recommendable for various reasons, but I
don't think it would squick me out too much, intrinsically.
I've quoted from Beyond Lies the Wub in this context before.
At one time I knew people who claimed to have eaten people,
and I myself have eaten off a polyp that had grown on the
inside of my mouth (bit it off, chewed, swallowed, didn't
notice much but a slightly salty-sourish aspect, no real
taste, but it was amall, maybe 1/4" round.
Not really... I'm sure CT Ruth meant chicken intended for human consumption, as opposed to coming from a can designated as cat
food...
and certainly not chicken-tasting humans.... ;)
I dunno, maybe she wanted to buck the trend.
Nah, we're talking CT Ruth here... ;)
Buck buck buck - you say she's chicken to try it?
No, just not her style.... ;)
Speak for yourself! Though it reminds me of the story
about how Gerber baby food didn't sell in Africa (though
that turns out to have been an urban legend).
Although it's also said that the penalty for bigamy is
having two mothers-in-law.
I've heard that... if they were like my mother-in-law, that wouldn't be
all that bad... (G)
Of course, as noted here in other contexts, if you use
enough garlic, you can dispense with expensive ingredients
and just make pollock and potato puree instead.
Or skip the pollock and just make skordalia... ;)
Some would prefer that, yes. By the way, that was the least
skordalia I've ever made, owing to the selection of potatoes
offered by the each at Publix as well as my lack of attention.
I reread, and my eyes said 875 miles, and I thought,
gee, New York isn't THAT big.
No, not quite... ;)
Going down the Thruway it sometimes seems it.
Which is why I tend to avoid the Thruway, among other reasons... ;)
Going down the thruway doing 65, isn't it a great day, good
to be alive! (words given to part of Beethoven Op. 131).
We attended one of our meetings, which the president in his
wisdom limited to an hour of committee reports, half of which
consisted of "um" and "er" with a large number of pauses in
between. There was one Virginia gentleman named I believe Ryan
Tolliver, our new treasurer, who spoke volubly and rapidly,
using his allotted time to present more information than the
others combined.
Perhaps his report had more substance to begin with...?
Not than previous treasurers' reports, but certainly than
other chairman's reports of this year; plus I'm guessing one or
two chairs might have had things to gloss over that they were
not proud of.
Very cool, and some Russian serf is listening in on every
word, no doubt.
Dunno... not that it would much matter, in most cases anyway...
The idea is that there may come through some stray bits of
information that combined could shed useful light on otherwise
opaque situations.
I suppose, maybe.... :)
I'm pretty sure there's no maybe about it. It was a practice of
Axis agents in WWII to seek out any and all little bits of data
they could, to be put in context at some headquarters in Germany.
Of course, the disinformation could go in both directions.
Smoke roasted chicken breast with BBQ sauce
categories: poultry, main
servings: 10
10 Chicken breast portions (6 oz ea)
S, P
h - Marinade
10 fl Vegetable oil
5 fl Cider vinegar
1 fl Worcestershire sauce
1 Tb Brown sugar
2 ts Dry mustard
1 ts Tabasco
1 ts Garlic powder
1 ts Onion powder
1/2 Tb Garlic, minced
Rinse chicken, pat dry, season, and place in
shallow hotel pan.
Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the
chicken, turning to coat evenly. Marinate refrigerated
for 3 hr to overnight.
Place the chicken on a rack and set it in a pan over
lightly dampened hardwood chips. Cover tightly and
heat in a 450F oven until the smell of the smoke is
apparent. Smoke for 3 min from that point. Transfer
the chicken to a baking pan and finish baking
(without smoke) in a 350F oven until done, about
8 to 10 min more (170F for breast meat). M's note:
this is stupid in oh-so-many ways.
Serve at once with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
