Various stuff

[vilakins]

I suppose it's about time I made a post. So here's a mixture of stuff.

Sebastian is getting on really well with the girls. I've seen him curled up next to both of them (separately) and grooming them and being groomed. He loves them, and I think they like him a lot more than they do each other these days. I'd noticed they had little to do with each

I love that Sebastian picture you use for your icon. I can't wait to see what he looks like now.

My brother and his wife go for experimental meats. I'm extremely careful when they're grilling.

[vilakins]

Much the same BUT BIGGER! I'll have to make another icon of him.

Yeah, I like to know what I'm eating. It's so much easier just to go vegetarian on courses because of the ubiquity of pork and ham which I never eat.

Glad to hear Sebastian's doing well!

I remember kangaroo being very tasty, the one time I had it. But I am very glad my supermarket does not carry brains. I think that would put me off the meat aisle entirely. :)

I imagine it's a bit like venison which is too common here to be with the unusual stuff which is in two big glass-fronted cabinets. I can avoid it in future. I saw the Brains sign but didn't look too closely at what was behind it. I dunno, I'd try quail, but it's probably really picky to eat, all those little bones (but not as bad as the sparrows they sold for eating in Paris). I've had crocodile so I don't need to give that another go.

[astrogirl2]

Yeah, I wasn't that fond of crocodile the one time I tried it, either.

[vilakins]

Good for you! Those things are dangerous. There's a good reason many people don't eat pork.

[vilakins]

Then I actually have a healthy eating habit (surprise, surprise)! No pork, ham, or shellfish for me.

I've eaten quail before and it's quite nice. :)

There is no way though I would eat brains. *cries*

[vilakins]

What did it taste like? I just don't think I could be bothered with all the little bones.

[imhilien]

I thought it tasted like a spicier version of chicken. I ate the quail at a restaurant and they had de-boned it. :D

[vilakins]

That wouldn't be so bad then!

Good and lovely news! So now you have one worry minus with Seabstian using the cat door:-) Well, there are always also unpleasant surprises from our darlings:-) Still, you have a happy cats´ company at home and i look forward for your lovely pictures.
Such an assortment of meats...well, I only ate ostrich once. I think kangaroo meat can be get here too - actually everything can be get here - if you have a suitable salary. Ha ha.
Brains. Hee hee, spare parts? bad joke, I know...I did eat pig brains, fried with onion and eggs - very tasty and you really won´t recognise what exactly you are eating:-)

[vilakins]

I don't care what it tastes like, there's no way I'd eat brains, and I don't eat any parts of pigs anyway.

What is ostrich like? They may have had some there; I didn't notice because once I saw the brains I didn't look further.

[vjezkova]

Ostrich is possibly like kangaroo: dark lean meat, tastes a bit like venison...
Sorry, I shouldn´t write about our strange tastes, I forgot...

[vilakins]

Really! I imagined kangaroo to be like venison or goat: strong-flavoured and nicely lean. I thought ostrich would be more like chicken or duck. Huh! Anyway I'll stick with chicken.
