Damnit, now I want pie.
Best pie I've ever had was while I was visiting Saugatuck, MI. God bless you, Crane's.
Of course, who doesn't prefer a hair of the dog?
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!
And I'm telling you, them pussycats is quick!
...and 5 FTW!
Also, bison and duck are delightful. As is rabbit. I routinely name my stews "Thumper," "Bugs," "Peter," "Duracell"...
Sorry, Comte, the cat pie is off. If you ask really nicely, though, we might be able to come up with some whale sushi.

Also, I can't believe we've gone this long without an "eating pussy" joke.
I've eaten horse. Imagine something halfway between a pork chop and a steak. Delicious.

There are no ferries even close to a two block radius of the Stranger's offices. How could you have overheard anything?
I've had camel before; I was pretty unimpressed. But no, no horse...
I don't think it's legal to eat horse in the U.S. However, I do have relatives who've eaten it in Mexico, Japan, and France and it is (by their account) quite delicious, sweet meat.
A classic, the second letter:

"They just look different"
"Philly mignon"
This post makes me think about how we can be efficient in entertaining kids. Kids love puppies, kids love cake, so why not a cake made with puppy meat? Or perhaps goldfish on crackers?
"Look closely kids, you might see a surprise!"
*kids scream in terror*
"You found Nemo!"
"colt cuts"
I would be highly sceptical to hear a law against eating horse meat is on the books — especially given the way Americans of many persuasions have that whole "I don't like telling the government telling me what I can and can't do. Now get off my lawn."
The resistance, I gather, is mostly cultural. This would explain the Jack-in-the-Box fiasco of slipping in horse meat way back in the day.
Again, given that horses have so many other uses, how is that cost-efficient? Then again, a lot of the cost of raising horses goes into training and such, and I suppose you would save on those costs if you're just raising them for meat...hmm...
As a former, eleven-year vegetarian, I find now that I can eat pretty much all meats save chicken (it takes horrible to me for some reason; it's not how I remember it when I was little). So prepared in proper context with a suitable recipe, I would be game (pun not intended, but anyway) for trying horse meat.
Except, I guess, in Jersey (whut? whut?) where it's not legal.
Same thing with walnuts--most walnuts sit in warehouses far too long. They get bitter and burn my tongue and throat. Freshly shelled walnuts from a good Persian market are out of this world.
(I concede that I might be comparing apples to oranges by comparing a supermarket to a local butcher. Meat from butcher shops is probably better all-around, even if said butcher isn't Halal/Kosher.)
I maintain that the biggest deficiency in Middle Eastern cuisine is the lack of bacon.
I only marginally know Persian cooking via an Iranian friend of mine who brought over some home cooking from his mum. It seemed to overlap a bit with Afghani cuisine, which is certainly a good thing. Admittedly, I know South Indian, North Indian, and Sri Lankan cooking a lot better.
