I don't like liver......gross! Or deer meat either! Lima beans. Had liver and mashed potatoes last evening; liver takes getting used to and is something I don't have to often and I actually like chicken livers better i LOVE liver, but unfortunately, it is so high in cholesterol that i seldom get to eat it. when i do, i eat a pound at a time. of course, i have to buy two pounds so the kids get their share

I know....he's a riot!!! Child loves seafood and we're in the middle of the friggin' desert. I don't know....the stranger it is the more willing he is to try it. Of course....it did take me forever to get him to eat broccoli. Speaking of kids' likes and dislikes, does anyone have suggestions about how to get a pre-schooler to acquire better eating habits? My little nephew is 4 and just terrible. His pediatrician says that, with the vitamin supplements he takes, he's fine as long as he gets some fiber and meat. *But* , he doesn't like meat except for chicken nuggets, the rare slice of bacon and, occasionally, breaded fish. His mom gives him the V8 fusion drink in which one cup is supposed to equal a serving of fruit or vegetables. He will eat buttered corn a couple of times a week, and the random serving of g. beans and/or carrots, maybe once a month. No other veggies, though. On the plus side, he does like most fruit, and has apples, banana, canned peaches or mandarin oranges usually once a day. He likes (and makes a steady diet of) garlic bread, cheese pizza, chicken nuggets (Wendy's or home prepared in the over), grilled cheese sandwiches, spighetti with tomato sause (no meat) . . . and, of course, loves nabs and chips and almost any sweet. As I type this, it doesn't seem too bad, but in real time, it's worrying. For thanksgiving dinner - where a large variety was available, he ate a buttered ear of corn and a serving of banana pudding. For Christmas, he had a yeast roll and pumpkin pie. We worry . . . if he's not given anything but what he should have, he'll eat it.

I don't care for beef tongue, even a trace of fat on meats. nor hot hot peppers. Beer looks like (horse pizz) gross to me, so I don't drink beer. Ok...the tongue thing is just too creepy....can't go there either. On the subject of animals.....I think it was Johnny Carson that said that the first person to drink cow milk had to be the bravest in the world......who would look at an animal and say "I'm going to squeeze those things and drink whatever comes out of it"

Do you really want your questions answered? I love the " is a frog's azz watertight?" Now, has anyone ever checked to see if this is really true or is there some sort of leakage we aren't aware of?

Lamb has to be cooked properly to bring out its full flavour. Half the time it isn't and the result is that it's far too bland and the texture is all wrong.
I'll post some recipes for GOOD lamb dishes tomorrow when I'll hopefully have more time! (It's been SUCH a manic week!)

It is a sad reflection on our image-obsessed world that anorexia and dieting are fashionable while people in the Third World starve. If I absolutely had to choose I would vastly prefer an overweight person to an anorexic. Not if you were sitting next to them in economy on an airplane, you wouldn't

I've tried it....can't say I ever need to try it again. He can't be a proper Englishman because mint jelly is disgusting! Mint SAUCE is the only proper accompaniment for lamb (along with perhaps a sprinkling of rosemary!)

Ok....my silly Englishman says you are absolutely wrong. He likes mint jelly with rack of lamb and mint sauce with leg of lamb.......and then he added he doesn't use mint sauce or mint jelly in his Irish stew.

Mint jelly is an American abomination! Mint sauce is the ONLY garnish any self-respecting Brit would use on lamb - other than a sprinkling of rosemary.
I can see I'll have to post some proper recipes for lamb.
As far as Irish stew is concerned, I should hope he DOESN'T use either mint sauce or jelly with it.
It's not exactly the greatest meal in the world but as someone whose Dad is from Ulster I know what a PROPER Irish stew should taste like.
