I used to love Peking Duck... until the last time I got it... thought it wasn't as good as usual... didn't get puking sick... but got mild nausea for the next week.Quote:

Haven't had it since... mostly because I like the local Chinese restaurants even less than that one... never returned after that and never will.
This was a regular sit down or take out restaurant in an shopping center. Average size. Been a lot of years... this was back in the 1980's.Quote:

Yes I remember those places, I wonder what happened to them, went broke I expect, some things have disappeared like Pizza Hut restraurants,and Sizzlers, I think we can get two varieties of pizza now and who sits down in a pizza place
Most health Dept writeups close them down until the situation is corrected... sometimes only hours.. sometimes days or weeks.Quote:

One week we had lunch there... two weeks later we went there and they were out of business. (yes there was a writeup in the newspaper and I seem to remember Board of health paperwork of some type taped on the doors.)
Lot of places get minor write-ups from time to time for small stuff. I have close friends that have a few restaurants.
Yes we have seen a few locals go that way too, but I'm speaking of a general change, maybe it's the marketing, maybe they are rebadging themselves, or maybe the GFC did them in, I know we have a lot less pizza brands and those we do have are in trouble at corporate level. But cleanliness in food outlets is a big problem, but I have seen upmarket restraurants become curry houses seems to be a trend.
Back to what's on our plate I hope it isn't horse
Are you missing Pizza Hut?
Well I certainly eat less pizza, it was a good alternative to McDonalds when travelling, I miss the choice
And here I thought all those American intrusions were evil.
If they weren't here we would rely on something else with better nutritional value, but they are. What they do is push the local product out over time. I hear Cahill's I think it is called is intending to set up here, what we don't need is another chain selling oversized burgers, we already have enough of those
Just Imagine.. if it wasn't for western food in Australia they might be eating these as snacks. Like the Aborigines do.

I think the Western food is a better option.
They tell me that they have a nutty taste but there are some in other places who eat snails and frogs, Bush tucker enabled abo's to survive for a long time and if you look at them in their natural state they are lean and well conditioned, it is western food that has ruined them just as it has us. Interesting that their name for us is hairy grub, when you live on welfare I expect Bush tucker puts some extra on the table when the money has run out
Not saying I wouldn't eat one... but I'd have to be very hungry. Why would I eat a slug when my favorite food comes from down under ?

I on the other hand love game meat like venison... especially if they are smoked .
So do I. Never had it smoked however. Just can't stomach innards like tripe, Kidney, tongue or Chitlins.Quote:

I've ate Crocodile... its like a cross between pork and chicken in flavor.Quote:

Back to eating game meat. Here is a classic example of stupid government over regulation.
Louisiana Forces Homeless Shelter To Destroy $8,000 Worth Of Deer Meat « CBS Houston
Guess they should've been serving the homeless Ikea meatballs.Quote:
Louisiana's State Health Department forced a homeless shelter to destroy $8,000 worth of deer meat because it was donated from a hunter organization.
KTBS-TV reports that the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission lost 1,600 pounds of venison because the state's Health Department doesn't recognize Hunters for the Hungry, an organization that allows hunters to donate any extra game to charity.
“We didn't find anything wrong with it,” Rev. Henry Martin told KTBS. “It was processed correctly, it was packaged correctly.”
The trouble began last month after the Department of Health and Hospitals received a complaint that deer meat was being served at the homeless shelter. A health inspector went out and told the homeless shelter that deer meat was not allowed to be served and that is had to be destroyed.
“Although the meat was processed at a slaughterhouse (Bellevue) that is permitted by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture to prepare and commercially distribute meat obtained from approved farms, deer are not an approved meat source to be distributed commercially,” the department said on its Facebook page. “And because hunters brought the deer to the slaughterhouse, there is no way to verify how the deer were killed, prepared or stored.”
Martin says that bleach had to be poured onto the meat in order to destroy it.
“They threw it in the dumpster and poured Clorox on it,” Martin told KTBS. “Not only are we losing out and it's costing us money, the people that are hungry aren't going to get as quality of food, the hunter that's given his meat in good faith is losing out.”

CB, time to close, they are knawing on different bones now.
Bones are good, but better with some meat on ;)
This must be a political horse, or is that a donkey and/or elephant?
tickle this a discussion board. That means the topics naturally expand ;or die. We deserve latitude before adm shut down postings.
Hello Mr PC and keeper of the corporate conscience you may like to know you cannot use the word @ss here even when referring to a donkey or an assine remark so suddenly we produce the word @ss and you crawl out of the woodwork and I think someone has already referred to things that crawl out of the woodwork and are eatenQuote:

CB knows anything I say, I say in jest, or is that not acceptable to you?
Are you usually so rude to women?
Tomder, I really didn't expect CB to close it down.
MMmmmmm elephant leg...Quote:

Did not know the comment was made in jest ;although I should've guessed it . One of my pet peeves is the closing of discussions by some of the administrators. Like I said ,I think ;given that this board is a discussion board ,that there should be wide latitude given.Quote:
