Dark meat has more flavor, to me anyways.....................

Back in the late 1800’s early 1900’s, BEEF was considered ‘poor people’ food and chicken was the preferred ‘rich man’s’ food.............strange how things flipped....................

I love liver, beef, chicken, etc...........pork liver not so much............

EVERYTHING’S BETTER WITH BACON!..............................

I can’t handle any kind of liver, it tastes metallic like rust or something to me. Unappealing texture too.

[Red Badger]

Don’t know about seagulls. They would probably taste ‘fishy’ or ‘garbage-y’.......................

High in IRON content..........good for you if you have an anemia problem................

B’stilla?................B’stilla so I can cutta you head off?..............

>>Don’t know about seagulls. They would probably taste ‘fishy’ or ‘garbage-y<<

Unless it just ate a clownfish. Then it would just taste funny.

I must not be anywhere near anemic, lol. Liver repulses me, any kind.

[Red Badger]

Must not have been prepared right or it wasn't 'squab'....................

[Red Badger]

CAPONS are rare in the US anymore. Too much trouble and too little demand, plus PETA would have a fit..................

[Red Badger]

LOL!..................

I had to get a fish hook out of a seagull once.

My wife had cast her line out with some squid, and this crazy seagull dived in and ate it.

She had to reel him in and I had the distinct pleasure of trying to get an angry seagull under control while getting the hook out of his mouth.....................

I was having lunch in Ventura one day a few years ago. My napkin blew away and a freaking seagull took my ENTIRE Big Mac! Then perched about 4 feet away on a wall and mocked me while he ate it.

If I could, I would have plucked that sucker for BBQ!

[Red Badger]

It would probably be better for you than the Big Mac.....................

Even back in the late '60/early '70s, my great Aunt had to special order them from the "fancy"/gourmet butcher she used to buy her meat from.

They were delicious and I always enjoyed having dinner with her. Nobody else, in my family, ever bought Capons, so it was a real treat!
