They stared in horror at whole, wild roasted ducks. (And that's with the head and feet removed.) I know many grownups, for that matter, who can't deal with a whole fish on the table.<br /><br />Beef tongue is absolutely delicious, by the way. As good as prime rib.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-17055421527214569032012-05-31T22:52:26.283-04:002012-05-31T22:52:26.283-04:00You use rennet to make cheeses at home, also. Why...You use rennet to make cheeses at home, also. Why vegetarians (who are okay with dairy foods) have a problem making some cheese. There are other things that will curdle the milk to make cottage or soft cheese, but rennet works best. <br /><br />Jello is made from gelatin which is made of hooves and marrow from animals, also off limits to vegetarians, and arguably risky if you worry about Mad Cow disease if you inhale it. <br /><br />Also, people (like me) who love their flowering bulbs and organic gardening and plop lots of bone meal to help things grow, may be risking getting mad cow and other diseases...<br /><br />And, of course, when people have asked why my roses looked and smelled so gorgeous, I would just say: pounds and pounds of manure and spraying ground up seaweed. Yuck the people would say, but that's what made the roses look and smell so lovely...<br /><br />It's all a matter of recombining blocks of matter...Retrieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036341287285545932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-3021568448050391162012-05-30T22:34:35.313-04:002012-05-30T22:34:35.313-04:00There's a story I heard.

He was offered cow's tongue as the meat in his meal.<br /><br />Not knowing quite how to explain his queasiness at the thought of eating cow's tongue, he stammered to the host that he would like something else. His mother had warned him not to eat something that had been in an animal's mouth.<br /><br />The hostess looked at him for a second, then asked if he would like some eggs.karrdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205160745963596856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-86528643169736016472012-05-30T21:35:51.105-04:002012-05-30T21:35:51.105-04:00You really can't think about the origins or co...You really can't think about the origins or composition of foods. Or restaurant kitchens for that matter. Ignorance is bliss. Or, at least it allows you to survive.Sponge-headed ScienceManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914014641719908195noreply@blogger.com
