No they're not. They're not even a plant or an animal!

How about shellfish? Do you eat mussels for example?
I dunno... I don't have a very refined palate for slimy things.

It took me quite a long time to get to like shellfish. Cheese too. I used to hate it. Heres an interesting fact, a UK producer of Indian spices and pickles ships, every week, 5 tonnes of tandoori curry paste (to UK customers). It shows just how much we eat of the stuff in the UK.

Have you never tasted freshly collected mussels, covered in light grating of cheese, popped briefly into a hot oven, and washed down with proper black velvet?[^] 'Tis the perfect Sunday morning prelude to a large, cholesterol-packed brunch!

Chicken Tika Masala became the UKs favourite dish many years ago. Its a curry developed in the UK, by Indian restaurants, and now, exported to India. You can even get Tika Masala pizzas in the UK! We eat a LOT of curries. A vast quantity.

There is lots of an animal that really shouldnt be eaten IMO. Testicles, tripe, brains, eyes. Best thing is just to make it into generic cheap burger meat. At leat you cant see what you are eating! What is odd though is that all these peasant dishes have beome more popular, and more celebrated than the other dishes which came from more palatable parts of the beast.

I disagree, if it has nutrient value then it can and should be eaten. There is far too much food wasted in the West because of this sensitivity to uncommon parts of the animal. Spend some time in a third world country (I lived in Turkey in the mid 1970s and visited in rural Uganda more recently) and you will get a better perspective on how difficult life can be if you cannot afford the 'rich' cuts, or in many cases, any meat at all.
Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

True, you like to sit back and have it done for you.

AT least food is interesting. GW is so dull these days. I think people have become utterly numbed by the onslaught from the media, with the total lack of any substantial change in the climate. It seems everyone has put it on a back burner to be ignored till something does actually happen. Foods good though. Its never a divisive topic.
