SC - OT? Price of butter

Actually, I agree with this.  O can you imagine the reaction of the equestrians

The only other law I can think of that has specifically impacted my feast planning
has been the one regarding sheep's innards that motivated me to curtail my haggis
experiments.  The flood of disgusted noises from my household probably had a
greater impact.  <GGG>  And until the marijuana laws change, you won't find me
trying Hempseed as an ingredient either.  As far as this particular new Horse law
is concerned, I think it's species-ist and sentimental. That wasn't my point.

I've never seen Horse recipes either;  my thanks to THL Etain, our resident An Tir
Import, for her sharp eye on the Bayeaux Tapestry picture.

At no time did I propose stifling discussion nor research.  I was just being
subtly sassy about my mild objection to the equestrain newsletter, and my
inability to use horse recipes even if provided.  Perhaps too subtle. My apologies
for the misunderstanding.

Milord husband relates a tale from his military days in ancient Waris, back when
there was a Berlin Wall, of the time he wandered into the French commissary and
butcher shop, and saw whole 'chat' all cleaned and dressed.  He did not return.
His ethnocentric choice.  We never eat the ones we love?

I want to see Badger's research that proves how humans are Kosher.  My hoof ain't
cloven, friend!  'Long Pig' should be okay for the Atkins Diet, though, come to
think of it... <eeeek!>

Bon appetit
