    The article does not say if fish, tempah & tofu

    Clearly not or I'd have been a whining hypocrite by now.

    No, it's meat.

    What species of snake?

    I watched a video a year or two ago of this guy in Russia who is a chef and
    has quite a layout at his home for cooking. He cooked a python several different ways and said the taste was ok, just quite tough.

    Next was an ostrich; it was cooked several different ways, too, and declared
    it to be very, very good.

    Last was a camel; it seems to be a popular choice in areas of Russia and
    Asia. It was voted the best of all the meats, quite flavorful and it, too,
    was cooked several different ways.

    I'm guessing because the camel is in the deer family was why the meat was
    so tasty.

    You should try eating a Democrat, since you're so into corpses.

    I had ostrich once in a restaurant in Whistler BC. It was good. It was
    like a beef tenderloin and had been cooked fairly rare.

    Last was a camel; it seems to be a popular choice in areas of Russia and Asia. It was voted the best of all the meats, quite flavorful and it, too, was cooked several different ways.

    I had reindeer when I was in Sweden. It was pretty good. I have also had
    roast moose. It was like tough roast beef.

    I've never seen snake but we have plenty of them.

    Alligator is pretty good and easy to find. Often blended with pork.

    Ok Bryan. Now that you bring it up, how does a
    rock star turn that into lyrics for a hit song?

    From your duly 'admitted' Science-Degree holder,
    Remember that mercury has medically & historically
    well-known detrimental effects on cognition & volition.

    Maybe you can use the buzz from the hit song to ask
    Kuthe to engineer a Public Service Ad for those guys
    & gals that hunt the snakes and alligators as well.

    I personally won't buy any until Trump changes his tone.

    Then I might but that would likely be after ostrich,
    emu, elk, &c and all the other meat you can buy
    at the high-end grocery stores already but are
    priced ridiculously.

    Ok Bryan. Now that you bring it up, how does a

    How in the world would I know? Also, that's not an interesting topic for
    a song. Do any of these lyrics look like something that would make the
    pop charts? I'm rather proud of them, and they address topics that I
    felt needed to be spoken about, but the audience would always be limited. https://photos.app.goo.gl/QURMuMLm3HxvFHMg8

    I've only written one food related song, and I don't think there's any
    chance it'd hit the Billboard Top 100.

    FAST FOOD MAN


    The food tastes good and I'm lovin' my meal
    But if I got to thinkin', it could really spoil it
    When I think about whether you wash your hands
    When you scratch your balls or use the toilet

    Hey hey, fast food man
    I wonder if you washed your hands
    With all the things that you could do
    I'm gonna be real nice to you

    You cough a little, and rub your nose
    You wipe your forehead, and I suppose
    If I pissed you off, you could spit on my food
    And piss and shit and semen too

    Hey hey, fast food man
    I wonder if you washed your hands
    With all the things that you could do
    I'm gonna be real nice to you


    From your duly 'admitted' Science-Degree holder,

    well-known detrimental effects on cognition & volition.

    I don't eat fish that have mercury issues, not even as infrequent
    snacks. Evergladian reptiles were never on my menu.>

    Like the rest of you, I have not read anything from Kuthe since
    GoogleGroups went away. I did see online that he sold *The Cumrag &
    Roach* a few years ago.>
    I personally won't buy any until Trump changes his tone.

    You *should* avoid buying American products when practical, but even
    when we get a reasonable government friendly to Canada, you should
    probably stick to avoiding our culinary reptiles.>

    The one time I had it, ostrich was gamey. It had a slightly liverish
    flavor. Ick. I like corn finished beef, corn fed chicken, corn fed pork,
    corn fed turkey and corn fed duck, and even corn finished lamb.
