Hi Michael!

->  -> Let's say fatty meat then, how's that.
->  HN> Fatty smokey meaty meat! Works for me !

-> Fatty smoky meaty meat and cephalopod, see below.

->  -> No, but I've seen videos of octopuses unscrewing mayo jars, which

->  HN> I have no problems eating either octopus or squids! Both are tasty
and
->  HN> welcome on my plate any time!
-> 
-> I heartily agree with you, as you have seen. You will note

->
I noted the "almost", just pointing out that I feel no such guilt (grin).
 
->  HN> Not a prob with natto...it's not nearly as slimy as philine! You

Not so sure that the slug slime and snail slime is a defensive mechanism as
much as it's a method of preserving the moisture of the creature
itself...not a problem in a marine environment..hagfish have a similar
ability...so much so that they can make water around them almost jello
like! I'm confident that as long as they are not toxic ( and I don't think
the philine have toxins like some of the other nudibranchs) that philine
could be prepared in some sort of edible manner. If they make it this far
north perhaps we'll give em a try....you and me of course...Anne will
merely observe and think we're nutz (and who's to say she'd be wrong?)

Yummmmm, next month the squid start running locally...I may go squidding
this year to see how the resource is being managed these days!

chat with you soon
