Brain Splatter

You go to dinner at a friend's house. You sit down at the table and they put the food down in front of you. There is lots of good stuff. Fresh baked rolls. Mashed potatoes. Beef or Venison or Pork or other good meat that you recognize.

Then he brings out a plate. You can tell it is some kind of bird. Maybe a large chicken? A game hen of some sort? It looks and smells really good. You ask your friend what it is.

Your friend looks at you and with all seriousness says, "Bald Eagle".

What do you do?

You didn't kill it, cook it, or ask for it. Your friend tells you that he was out hunting or driving or whatever and shot it. Or he got it from a friend of a friend. Or just says it is what it is. He even has a picture of it before he plucked it and breaded it and cooked it, so you know he is telling the truth.

So, like I asked before; what do you do?

I honestly think that I would have to at least try the bald eagle. I mean shit, it is there right in front of me. It's not like I told someone to out and get it.How many times is someone going to put nice fresh bald eagle in front of you?

I probably wouldn't eat horse. I might eat cat. I've had Chinese food in the past so I probably have eaten cat, if not other things that I can't even or probably would not want to think of.

Now there are some things that I would not eat. I would not eat dog.Dog is one animal that would give it's life for a human. I can't see eating something noble like that. Seems there would be something immoral about eating a dog. I can't see eating elephant, dolphin, or whale. But if I was hanging out with some Eskimos and they had gone on a whale hunt and wanted me to try I might try whale.

I think it might be because I have been watching cooking shows and thinking of the things we eat as opposed to the things we don't. Americans used to eat way more goose, bison, and lamb then we do now. It seems to be kind of a waste to stick to eating just pork, chicken, turkey, and beef.

I don't know a lot about fish but what I do know is that for the longest time there were fish that pulled from the ocean and eaten while thousands of "garbage fish"or"Rough Fish" were killed or cast aside. Then when the desired fish were fished out people switched to the garbage fish to eat. And now those are becoming harder to find.

Hunger is a big influence on what a person will and will not eat. When it comes down to starting or not, a lot of less than desirable things because downright palatable

Wow. I totally lost my train of thought. I could go back and reread this but I really don't care to. I think I am gonna go order a bucket of KFC eagle wings. MMMM, that's good national bird. Laterzzz...
