Well, by YOUR standards its disturbing. By the Hindus', we're eating holy hamburgers, here. Humans are strange animals. We'll eat tons of things but once we name them (pets) or find a different use for them (dogs, horses) then it becomes disgusting to eat them. I'm sure it turns somebody's stomach to see someone eating a cute widdle lamb...

I think it's more of a meat/gristle ratio that keeps cats and dogs off the mainstream menu.
Horse is really really gamey. They flavor it with all kinds of additives just to get dogs to eat it (and yes kiddies, Horse is called "beef" in pet food).
Compare that with great foods that are not pets but not generally eaten by westerners, (squid, eel, ostrich etc.) and you'll see that there's alot of meatier animals for mass consumption. ...and it's not as though we eat a lot of edible other things that are not pets either (rattlesnake is very good, as is aligator tail).
Which beings us back to Dolphins- if no one is eating them (and I've never heard of anyone dong so in any culture, regardless of desperation) they must really taste like shit.

Why are we talking about this again?
Mabye it's their coloring- very squid-like on the outside, but I think it's more red and meaty like tuna.
We're talking about this because I want a dolphin roll with wasabi and ginger and as a break from that whole "abortion thread".

They look like there's quite a lot of meat on them. Know any Japanese or Icelandic fishermen?
Andrew - I don't know about crocodiles, but vennison is nice! Has anybody tried veal? I would, but I feel guilty just looking at it on a menu. Same with fois grois (sp? - you know, goose liver pate). Are my morals keeping me from a good meal?

Veal is []allright[/i]- I've only had it done parmisian style, and frankly, I prefer chicken.
There's lots of bizarre stuff available here that I've not tried- curry goat, ox tail, (thosae are mostly Jamacian dishes). Rabbit sound worth trying, as does deer (not being from the north, it's not available here), but shit like oposum or squirrel is just...wrong.
I've eaten chocolate-covered grasshoppers before- really very good. Sorta like nestle's crunch meets chocolat-covered popcorn.
Anyone eaten turtle?

I wouldn't eat Froi Grois as I was looking in a book one day and one very small portion of Froi Grois has the fat equivalent of like 10 bags of chips - or something crazy like that.
I've eaten black ants... but they were by mistake - I left a biscuit on a fridge once - this was when I was like 7 and I remembered about it later - and of course the ants had found it - and I reached up and popped it in my mouth and it was like... uhhh uhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhh! very sharp acidic taste I ran inside the house and got the tomato sauce and started swigging it down to eliminate the taste!!

Eat some deep-fried tortilla chips and guacamole. Might as well inject fat directly into your arteries.
Damn tasty though!
What do yuo mean turtles are endangered? People have Box and Snapping turtles as pets here...occasionally, you'll see their run over shells roadside when driving across state.
I say we have a race between tortise and hare: which one can I wok up fastest... I'm thinking barbeque rabbit and teriaki turtle.

Yeah, turtles are not endangered here. They're everywhere.

That's an interesting concept. Although I'd imagine that the replicators would be hardwired to not replicate meat from any member races of the UFP...
