Hehehe, well, I don't have access to that kind of stuff as much as I used
to, but during the year I developped my cookbook, I don't think I ate beef,
pork or chicken more than once or twice each...  Grouse, lynx, bear,
whatnots, every day pretty much.

"I'll eat anything that moves, except missionaries, you can't make them
tender enough", as one of my West African friends said to me :-)

Now, well, i simply don't cook for myself at home...  I need me a wife so I
start cooking again!  <grin>  Olwen, still single and looking?  LOL
