Sometimes starting a car is more dangerous than a shotgun.

I know, I was depressed when I first heard it, glad it wasn’t true.

Gaius Verres was the man who looted the statue of Athena. He was a notoriously corrupt governor of Sicily. He looted whatever he could get his hands on. He was known to use the unrest of the Servile Wars (Spartacus) to extort money from wealthy landowners by claiming their prized slaves were traitors and then demanding bribes for their lives.

Verres was brought to trial in Rome where Cicero gave an opening oration that was so powerful Verres fled Rome without opening a defense.

We make Carbonara at home. I'm sure it's not as yummy as you got in Sicily, but we love it.

It's like a few years ago when I asked a Greek friend of mine where the best place for Greek food is in Denver and his response was a private home. :-))

I’ve had haggis several times. I liked it. But then I will eat just about anything. In fact, I’m sure I have eaten just about everything. Pretty sure the list was completed eating from mobile taco trucks and Vietnamese fare. Ate a lot of Howler when I was in Panama, grew up in the desert eating rattlesnake and Jack rabbit.

Ate quite a bit of Horse, Mule, and a LOT of Burro. Elk, venison, pronghorn, and wild boar. My absolute favorite ever delicacy is Blood Sausage from any of these. I love Offal but I draw the line at liver. Just can’t do liver straight up, mixed I’m cool with.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of liver, liver paste I’ll eat. :^) Pretty sure I’ve never had most of the rest of your list there (just elk and venison).

Same here, I can palate liverwurst and braunschweiger, or fowl Pate. but if it gets any richer than that I’m done. lol

Well you might be fortunate to not have tried everything I have. Most of it was eat it or starve to death kind of fare. Like pronghorn for example.,, They say the best way to eat pronghorn is to throw it on top of a bed of coals, turn several times for about 8 hours and then throw the pronghorn away and eat the coals. lol

Heh, the last thing ya wanna do in the so-called Roman Republic is extort money from the mafia families who owned and ran everything, not least because in court one was guilty until proven innocent (or until the bribe money got where it was going).
