Re: Dennis admits to not eating raw oysters

[Guest guest]

--- Hey michael we have raw eggs, raw milk and raw chicken livers and

none of them are as good as raw strawberries. That's good enough for

me. BTW why are grasshoppers so cheap? Are you paying the farmers

enough to keep them in business catching those things? When you get

to KS, try a clam (that's what my wife calls 'em)out of a muddy KS

river. It should be nutrient dense. I'll eat bacon and eggs and

pemmican if and when I get it made. I never tried the balut (sp?)in

the PI but did try their shrimp. Gotta go. Dennis

what i meant was that grasshoppers are free--i catch them myself...

i really enjoyed your sentence " It should be nutrient dense " . That's

just outright poetry!

oooh, balut! that's near the top of my list of things to try!

there's a section on them in the truly inspiring and wonderful

book " strange foods " , which i highly recommend! especially if you

want the low-down on bird's nest soup...

BTW raw oysters taste a little bit like raw strawberries... it's

subtle.

Now, if I REALLY wanted and easy source of protien here

I'd learn to cook SLUGS. 6 inchers ... I bet they taste

like escargot or abalone .... but without the bother of shells

I enjoy both quite a bit, but aside from a slight tartness, I completely

fail to see the similarity. Are you sure it's not just your eccentric

philosophy of infinitely malleable taste? <g>

keep in mind i said it was " subtle " !

i'm thinking mainly of the small part near where it attaches to the

muscle that attaches to the shell... very striking sweet flavor...

it's subtle. and abstract. (and a tiny smidgen of cognitive

relativism...)
