'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Mom demured, she thinks
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.
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.
Offended? Rejection letters are so rare that I might send a thank you for recognizing the right thing to do.

I have.
Offended?
He was oppressed!
He was oppressed!
In writing, no less. There's no getting over that.
Not hearing is so much worse.
