Have you ever tried beaver butt?

Sandy my dear, that's just the tip of the iceberg. I have a lot more where that came from. I long ago figured out that the truth is stranger than fiction, and often a lot more interesting. How's this for an overheard conversation: a couple at a restaurant ask for the special of the day (and its a snazzy place.) The waitress replies tongue with a mushroom sauce and asparagus. The lady replies "oh no! I don't want what came out of the mouth of an animal. I'll have an omelet."

True story.

Cheese was discovered through eating the rancid contents of the stomachs of young animals. The bacterial enzymes used to make most cheeses are rennet, from calves, and pepsin, from pigs. Think about THAT next time you look at a tub of delicious feta :D mwahahaha!

I don't think we can be online friends anymore. LOL
(although I know this already)

Ever tried fake cheese? the

that doesn't melt? Vegan crap. My daughter tried to tell me it was fabulous cause she went all vegan for a while there (annoying person she was at that point lol). Now she's the chicken wing master LOL. Anyways, she made us a grilled cheese for lunch one day and lets just say I'd go without before I faked it again.

I agree I would eat some beaver butt or other synthetic chemicals.

In my high school chemistry class, we don't eat beaver butt, those we might be cooking up seal meat in my Outdoor Studies class this year, anyways when I am teaching organic chemistry I bring in Smarties for the students to eat.

Then we talk about the colours and that a few years ago some of the colours changed slightly, not as bright as they were before, because they now use all natural colours. Then we investigate a bit further... the red Smarties use to use artificial dyes then they switched to carmine, a natural dye made from female cochineal scale insects. The students "love" finding out insects were used to make the Smarties. Thought now I believe red cabbage extract may be used.

I prefer meat to veggies, so bring on the insects

Seal meat is interesting from a scientific perspective just because it's black. Perfect opportunity for some edumacation!
