[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 True David, any cuisine that uses strong flavors would do to disguise unusual meat selection. However, it is Eastern Asians from many countries that have a well documented propensity to consume animals which we westerners would consider taboo or disgusting. Trying desperately here not to be politically incorrect.[;)] Not being from America, you might not get the joke "Cat, it's what's for dinner." That line is from the American Beef Council's TV ad campaign, only substitute beef for cat. By the way, that is only a seasoning packet. You need to add the meat of your choice. [/quote] Just to be historical... The spice trade (which probably used TRAINS of pack animals) was massively important to bring spices to Europe so that we could hide the (probably disgusting) taste of "past it's sell-by date" meat somewhere between December and Spring depending on how well the meat had been preserved at the Autumn/Fall slaughter. "Curry" is statistically the most popular food in the UK... depite the next-day-results. Most "IC1" English still haven't learnt that you should drink water with curry NOT lager. I guess that the indigenous population of N America didn't need the spices where they could hunt Bison all year round. There's a book by a Canadian, Farley Moffat, about tribes living on Elk/Caribou... his description of the parasytes he found in the FRESH meat is nauseating. We don't have a clue how much of history and how much of the modern world people have been glad just to get protein to eat. I believe that in the Great Depression many Americans ate a lot of squirrel... I guess that if stores sold it today they'd have to label it "Caution! May contain nuts".
