( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 25 Jun 2013, 19:53, Reply)

It's a percentage of head count cost, not number of heads, which is the most sensible way to do it as that way you can optimise how the business runs.

It's not that i'm not adventurous, it's just that I don't come across 'weird' meats that often. I've had some african game in the form of Jerky, can't remember what exactly though.

How 'bout you?

Tried a few.
Horse; many times. Ace.
Kangaroo. Once. Quite dry.
Crocodile. A few times in Asia. Overrated.
Ostrich. Very nice indeed. Very lean.
Snake. Quite dull. Probably the way it was cooked.

When you've tried them, are they normally in situations where you all want to try so you all order and share it; or have you chosen it as a meal for yourself (at least, the first time trying) ?
I think what might be considered weird to a lot of people would be some jewish stuff. I think they're from a finnish influnce.

- "sweetened chopped herring" - Delicious and cheap, like a vinegary paste
- "Chopped Chicken Liver" - It's a bit expensive what you get, but I like it. It's not very 'liver'y. More of a corse Paté.
- "Fish Balls" - Tiny sweetish balls of a doughy-fish paste (not sure what kind) that have been fried.... lovely with Taramasalata.
- Geffetle Fish - Never had.

Thinking about it, I think Taramasalata is probably the 'weirdest' one, I can't imagine what an american would think of it.

That is easily one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. There is just no excuse for that kind of cruelty.

I remember reading something when I was a teenager about how somewhere out there (I think Korea) used to do something similar with dogs. The report (probably apocryphal, but it had an effect on me anyway) said that the meat had a better taste if the animals were still alive when they were skinned.
