I have to admit I find goat tasty. But unlike ita, I don't miss it when it's not there.
I don't really find them cute looking, but I was utterly charmed by the 4H goats near my old apt. They'd look at you plaintively and say "HEY!"
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I think goats are darned cute too. But I've never tasted them.
I love their cheese! I don't know that I've had any goat meat. I feel like I should have, though.

The rival high school in Veronica Mars had a real goat as a mascot. (Newport High, or whatever they called Veronica's school had a parrot.) IJS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Am I supposed to now wonder what parrot meat tastes like? Because I do.

My dad knows what guinea pig tastes like. (Mom demured, she thinks.) And those worms in Botswana that I don't recall.
I haven't had much if any exotic (to USers) meats. But then, most untuna fish was "exotic" to me. Have had crawdads. Have had snake. But other than that- chicken, duck, goose, beef, pork. There may be a cornish game hen in there.

She thinks? Would your father have tricked her?
Are there any makeover shows that make (much of) a point of keeping individual style for the makeoveree? While I think that most of the changes on WNTW are upgrades, they're all mini-Stacys wearing the same pointy heels, etc. They say they pay attention to suiting the bodies, but what about the people?

More of a translation issue. And stews where ingredient lists weren't provided. This was in Peru, on the trail.
Though I think either he or one of her previous boyfriends told her pimentos were lizard tongues, which she believed unquestioningly. My mom, she can be gullible.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have been sending out rejections today at work to the 200+ folks who applied to the latest opening. They are form rejections, but are polite and thank them, etc. I have heard from a couple of folks who were offended that I sent the rejection letter. One said "I know I didn't get the job, thanks for mentioning it." WTF, people?

It's a good thing that one was among the rejections. Why in the world would you want to be left hanging rather than get a polite professional confirmation that you weren't hired?
I've been tricked into eating raccoon meat before. My hosts seemed very disappointed that I didn't freak out about it, but as long as they weren't feeding me one of the cute little rabbits from the hutch I had no objection to lean muscle meat.It was like slightly stringy roast beef.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Offended? Rejection letters are so rare that I might send a thank you for recognizing the right thing to do.
