Re: geese

There is such a thing as overharvesting as well.
quotas which can change from time to time

They do. And quotas can vary from region to region, even county to
county. In recent decades my annual caribou limits have gone from 4
to 1 to 1 buck to none at all while my bison limit went from 0 to 1
and my goose limit increased from 3 to 5 to 15 per day.

A true story from my friend Simon Bao years ago

It sort of contradicts the attitude expressed by Snopes

I'm quite sure the African baby food story is a myth and pretty
racist to boot but I can imagine the occasional brand new, young and
naive immigrant from certain countries getting fooled by dog food
can labels.

Takdaneh pomegranate juice, product of Iran / It tastes more
like real pomegranates / Highly recommended
akdaneh tomato paste as good a product as I've ever had
Jahan brand spaghetti / a nicely toothy, slightly sweet pasta
that held sauce pretty well. Another product of Iran.

But you have another import ban going on right now... too bad
because Iran has the best extra long grain Basmati rice in the
world.

Bull's Blood was a Hungarian hearty, rough red

it was a step up from Premiat (Romanian) [and] Avia

I never encountered those two; perhaps they never made it to
Ontario.

Some of the Aussie wines, including ones Kevin favors, were
incredibly acidic, and I could imagine using them for such
household tasks as as bathroom disinfection and rust removal.

That's all about Kevin's budget and his propensity for quantity over
quality. There are some damned fine one from there as well.

US trade policies have never been wholly consistent
Cuba was a special case

Because this is history as opposed to politics I suppose we can talk
about it, at least peripherally.
