I just saw someone eating it on a Travel Channel extreme foods show this weekend, and apparently there's enough of the toxin in the fish's tissues to have that numbing effect even if it's correctly prepared.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

What are your views on honey mustard or chinese chicken salad (rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginge,sesame oil & a little sugar) dressings?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sour cream and mayo together make the best dips ever.

Our wings are not tired.
There are a number of sweet salad dressing that I enjoy. I eat salad for lunch just about every day, so variety is good. Raspberry based dressing is the yum, and I have a key lime variety (don't know if it is available other places) that is tangy and sweet and yummy. If I am eating out and the restaurant doesn't have a tasty sounding house dressing I'll go for blue cheese every time. Because tasty cheese!
eta: Honey mustard can be yum, but I prefer a spicer variety, some are too sweet.

It is allowed to continue existing.
(I make my own honey mustard, and it is mustard and honey and olive oil, so there isn't even a cream/cheese/mayo issue!)

In totally other thinking, I've been mulling politics. Would Hillary make a good cabinet minister if Obama wins? Oh, wait, secretary. Darn my imperialist leanings.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you want health care reform, Hillary would probably be more helpful in the Senate than in a cabinet position.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've never had a so-called honey mustard dressing with any detectable mustard, which is a shame since the straight-up combo of honey and mustard is a fine thing.
Ginger/sesame/rice vinegar/soy is another fabulous taste combination that's all too often oversweetened and de-everything-else-ified.
Both are made much worse when scary texture gums come into the mix, because the only thing worse than sweet where it shouldn't be found is glop.
In sum, if it would make an acceptable dipping sauce for chicken nuggets, it doesn't go with salad. Or keeping my dinner down.
(Note: obviously just my lonely opinion, and no less love for all you mayo-lovin' freaks.)
