I'm pretty sure the kids thought the meat was plenty gross. It's just that American children are attention whores who will deliberately eat gross things for fun.

But the French eat frog legs and snails.

Without breading, too.;)

Mmmm... fried and steamed with garlic/butter/white wine respectively...
:yum:

I remembered mutton and found several references to it being a Mutton Pie Shop.

I reckon you're right.

So what did you think of the movie compared to stage productions of Sweeney Todd?

I wrote this up last week, then my computer had a spac mid-post and I don't think it made it on to the board (if it did, I'm hoping that smiling nicely at Bruce will do the trick). Seeing as the lives of dwellars will be much the poorer for not having read it, here it is.

This made me think of one trip to Carrefour I made while living in China. (The employees got round on roller blades as the store was so big). At the back in the fish section, there was a paddling pool full of turtles. The poor things obviously knew their number was going to be up very soon as they were scrabbling desperately to get out of the pool. It bordered on heart-breaking. :sniff:

Every time I see this thread title, the commercial jingle for the game Mystery Date gets in my head, but of course it's changed to:

Open the door
For your
Mystery Meat.

Does this game still exist in the states or is it in the same category as the Edsall?

Edsall?

Oh wait, you mean Edsel... yes, tucked away in attics, and at yard sales.

Chicken Deboner
 

Thank god it's not still on the market.

That deboner is enough to give any guy a deboner. Besides the one part looking like a pile of poop, the part with the bristles and claws could probably only satisfy a chupacabra.:smack::drunk:

It wasn't that bad. The styling was adventurous, but that's a personal thing. It was ahead of the pack as far as gadgets/novel features, and way too expensive in a down market, but mechanically sound.

Yes, Spud, yucky. I was wondering why the guy was being so particular about which pieces he fed it?
