Yes, but you see, if it's FRESHLY dead, it's still WARM. Then you don't HAVE to cook it at all!

What's more, it still can twitch if you shock it. That's when it's best: If you let it hang for a bit, it no longer twitches. It's gone totally dead.

As an added bonus, it's still bloody, which is just how I like it.

Even comparing beef to deer.

You cannot compare beef to venison as an example comparison of domestic vs. wild as the two meats taste quite different. Just as beef and pork taste different, yet both are (usually) domesticated. A more appropriate comparison would be to compare the beef from cattle to that from buffalo. As it would to compare venison to elk or moose meat.

I knew that (believe me Im VERY aware of the diferences). but for many people its the closest they will get to knowing the diffrence between domestic meat and the leaner flavorful wild meats.

Ever read the description of "Dropped Duck"?

How can you ask such a silly question? It's closely related to you, from the looks of your avatar...=)

The game is, er... actually, I'm about to start graduate school in artificial intelligence. So, the game is a study in artificial intelligence that happens to have graphics, so I can see what's going on. But, despite how it looks, the majority of my effort went into graphics (and making them fast) so that the AI is still half-baked=)

I'm thinking the plot might be something like... say... there's a really small robot. Or there are really big bugs. And, they fight! Also, the bugs are evil so you have to save the world, and you're the only one who can do it because your father left you the family's treasured giant robot (or tiny robot).

Just kidding, that sounds pretty lame! Hahaha...

Ok, really, I think the plot will involve magical mitochondria capable of a direct matter-to-energy conVersion of Elerium, thus allowing insects to grow to fantastic sizes depsite their lack of an efficient circulatory system. The gameplay will by a hybrid of X-COM, Privateer, Secret of Mana, and possibly Sim Farm. (This paragraph is actually true.)

Of course, you can also just sit back and watch the bugs run around and eat each other, which is pretty fun. For some people.

Blood pudding ? thats Black Pudding where I come from and its lovely fried, though you get it in a white variety too.

Tripe is also nice, though I dont see that as often as I used to anymore. Nice plate of honeycomb tripe or elder smothered in vinegar on a saturday afternoon. yum.

Ox heart is also nice, but takes a damn long time to cook.

Spiro.

I like the thread's new topic about exotic food. And I like exotic food (actually I wanted to eat bugs at the EXPO2000 in Hannover, but the queue was way too long for me to wait).

But that leads to a Dom-related question: I think that considering a pest to be edible is a good way to get rid of the pest. (Didnt the french pull that trick recently with a foreign frog/toad species that was crowding out the native species?) So where is this concept in Dom2? Are there any creatures eating up their enemies?

I think Dom2 covers an awful variety of themes, but this might acutally be a part they forgot... (And I dont accept scavengers/undead varieties like Eater of the Dead.)

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same blood, but I like mine in a tofu-like consistency. And we all know how easy it is to get our hands on buffalo, right?
