Sure, as long as they are as clean as the pigs, cows, chickens, etc. that are raised and eaten everyday.

And I am NOT referring to any specific group, just reporting folks. Considering as how we have now been made aware of cardboard seasonings from China, should we ever be surpeised concerning the ingredients of any canned food stuffs or frozen varieties from anywhere?

My Dad had taken a tour of a meat processing plant once and reported tht you wouldn't want to eat certain meat products if you knew how they were 'put together'. This is really grossing me out. Will have to stop now and quit getting the mental image that penetrates the old brain.

Eat a rat? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now go ask another provoking question...
Voyager, now you reminded me of something. Many years ago a coworker liked to joke that the best asian restuarants were next door to veternarian offices. Since then my experience has been, coincidentally I am sure, that he was correct. All my favorite places are within a block of a vet's office.

I have not noticed any reduction in stray animals in those locations.....maybe pets make the best dumplings?


DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT IMPLYING ANY RESTUARANT, ASIAN OR OTHERWISE, SERVES PETS.
