   Sorry, I shouldn't have been such a tease.   Next time I'll warn you
   to put your tea down.

   There is that also.   I think that you have said that their claims of
   mistreatment and force feeding are over stated, and that in fact the
   geese fight to get back into line.   Gluttonous birds!

   True -- and tolerance of those who choose other possibilities.
   That attitude is something that I feel fortunate to have amongst the
   participants of this echo.

 IH> err. Frogs?

   I've eaten them, at the Chinese buffet near us.

   In the recipe below, I suspect that "pumpkin" is any sort of winter
   squash, not the American usage of the word.    I had another nice
   looking recipe picked for you, a dish from Morroco with lamb, pumpkin
   and couscous -- but then noticed that you had posted it in the first
   place:-}}

      Title: Drover's Stew (Bill Harney's Cook Book)
 Categories: Main dish, Stew, Australian
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      3 lb Corned beef
           Potatoes
           Pumpkin
           Water
      3 tb Flour
           Curry powder to taste
 
  "Take 3 lb of cold corned beef, and cut it into pieces, setting the
  fat aside. Add cut up potatoes and pumpkin, or other vegetables.
  Cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer until the vegetables
  are cooked. Let cool a little, then thicken it with 3 spoonfuls of
  flour (and a spoonful of curry, perhaps) well mixed with cold water.
  Cover and let it simmer slowly at the side of the fire for a few
  minutes. The drovers used to find this stew far tastier than one made
  with fresh meat."
