I could eat dog, IF i hadent seen a document about the housing of the dogs in China (or maybe it was Korea). They stock them in cages and electrocute them (to death) then sent them out (they do this in bulk. Mind you it was only one place they was selling dog to the market. They might not all be as bad, but it made me ill.
Some of the Native American's here used to eat dog. It was supposed to be pretty good. I wouldn't mind trying it sometimes, if someone cooked it and gave it to me. I don't think I could go and kill, clean, and whatnot a dog. That would be too weird. I would have to be starving!
- Speedy..ughh that's horrible. I know there's stil tons of battery hens kept in conditions like that, but a dog is more intelligent etc than a chicken..also they're accepted as pets I love my dogs!
The Native American's were nice to the dogs though...until they made them a meal. I don't know that all the tribes ate dogs. I know a couple did for sure though. Some tribes used dogs like they were horses, and had them pull loads when traveling and whatnot. The you have the huskys that are work dogs, but they are more to the north.
Well dog is man's best friend. Its hard to comsume something with such a personality. I won't eat anything from a caged hen..... has to be freeranged. Wiorth the extra few dollars.
Yeh same. There was a load of programmes on TV about battery hens a while back...around that time free range sales increased by like 30%
I wish someone would tell me that, my father will probably get a rifle and kill bot my guy and me on the spot if he found out lol Wow, think of it---just two years and she turns 16. Then she'll criticise you I didn't read beyond that---what buffalos?? I can't even have their milk(though the curd is AWESOME!). Hey don't they eat cockroaches somewhere? Our last chauffeur had had them, and ants....according to him it was yum(Yuck!)
i ate ants once, chocolate coated though, nothing to taste but chocolate but they are suppose to be good, army training, ugh, i think they invented things for us to try
I ate fried grasshoppers once. My dad brought home a can of them. I asked if I ate one would I have to eat my mother's chop suey. the grasshoppers were better. I have shot rabbits and eaten them in stew. Shot a bear and loved the meat for steaks and stews. Partridge are dry but pretty good in stir fries. Don't care for the idea of eating horses Will never eat cats or dogs. They are pets and become part of the family. But each country has it's own customs and diet.
Neha Buffalo/Bison = http://search.live.com/images/results.aspx?q=bison&FORM=IGRE# There are some pictures. They used to be thousands, prolly millions, before the Europeans came to America. They were some of the main food to the plain Native Americans. But the Europeans would kill them for their hides, tonuges, and other valuable piece back then. Now people have them on farms to raise them for meat. You can buy it as special stores, or in certain parts of the country.
Here's a question: What side of the road do you drive on? And, do you know why? I was talking with my sister about this and we'd each heard a different theory on it. I'd heard that driving on the left was from the middle ages when knights had to draw their swords. If they rode on the right they'd be chopping the passers by up. My sister said she heard it was only island countries that drove on the left because back in they day they had a different kind of carriage and out riders or something. Or maybe we're making it up? Anyone really know why? Anyways, thought I'd query. I know Canada and the USA drive on the right and Britain and Japan the left, but I've nary a clue about other countries...
In the old days people chose to drive on the left so that if they had to defend themselves it was easier to draw a sword or pistol, that's true--but I don't know about your image of knights. They didn't ride around in full tournament/war regalia! Later on, when certain laws were brought in--I'm not sure if England was the first country to establish the side to travel on (maybe not) but London WAS the biggest metropolis in the world for a time and had a big traffic problem; anyway, they kept the custom of keeping to the left since that was what everyone was used to. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.
Also, it's normal and easiest for most people to mount a horse from its left side. If you ride/drive on the left of the road like the UK, that means you mount the horse from the side of the road. If you ride/drive on the right, you mount the horse from the middle of the road - a little muddy and hazardous.
Makes sense. I am assuming then that most countries with a longer history kept the 'keep left' method, due to more time to develop the habit, or to keep the tradition.
France is on the right, so is Spain and other European countries for that matter. And the steering wheels in cars there are on the 'wrong' side too the left.
Wasn't the first automobile made in the States? By Ford? I think it might have been. (Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.) I wonder if we jsut wanted to be different than Europe, or if there was a reason for choosing the right side...... We Americans do like to be different you know. LOL
The first electric car was made in Scotland by a chap called Robert Anderson. Karl Friedrich Benz made the first car with an internal combustion engine, in Germany.
I think Citroen patented the carburetta (spelling?) before WW1. And the Italians were world leaders in design in 1920s, weren't they? Seems like an explosion in automobile design happened at the same time, but I guess Ford invented the first ASSEMBLY PRODUCED car. I think the greatest country for architecture is France, best knitwear is Italy, best ready-to-wear USA and best food TURKEY! (Totally subjective opinion!) What do you lot say?
