Di, I simply LOVE your odes I beg you never to return to Normal mode I think I have figured the rhyming rule may I explain, don't call me a fool I think it's ok to ode and rhyme providing you don't digress and turn the thread to slime talking of beheading/previous names and the like is one sure way the mods will put you on your bike as you can see from this thread further down my digression did really make one Mod frown in fact Mods used to ode as well before, when they still thought we were all quite swell so maybe if we keep this thread on track we will all get to keep our heads attached to our back?

My baking is done And now I am back And yes I have fallen completely off track But can anyone say why to rhyme is forbidden? I’ve looked at the ‘Rules’ and unless it is hidden Cannot see such mention, so unless I am wrong I’m going to continue along with the throng What’s bad about putting a few lines in verse? Its better at least than being perverse Like comments you see talking back at some posts You’d think they were grilling whole BBQ roasts What bees do they think they have they got in their bonnets I find this far worse than a couple of sonnets Digression aside -to return to the theme I have eaten a snail with soup al crème But never a rat, a mole or a lizard If don’t think the latter would go down my gizzard.

Camel burger, yum! Another meat already tried. I chomped it all up, it cant be denied. Once you get thinking you realise you've eaten many things, snakes and frogs and creatures that are creepin.

BM you started it off now we're talking in rhyme even I've fallen fowl for the very first time, the mention of chickens of bats and of ears and other usual culinary fears we must only express in regular mode or we’ll be trouble if spoke like an ode I vow ne’er to repeat this dreadful transgression I worry it may become an obsession so carry on all to your heart’s content and excuse me while I go and repent While your verses are full of harmonious chime I fear this thread is on borrowed time

But surely eating camels is so totally wrong! How can they? With such cute faces and lashes so long. I suppose it's really no different to eating a cow, But I'd rather not intellectualise that for now...

For brains, we'll have to ask the French, They eat pan fried sheep brains for lunch.... And for the lunch 's main course? That would be the leg of a horse.... <em>edited by Sugarbeach on 09/08/2012</em>

What about brain, is it chewy or mushy? Or do you eat it regardless and are not that fussy?

Ears are no good, they are rather chewy, I prefer something crunchy, less sinewy. Perhaps a deep fried locust, or crispee leaf, The bitter after taste should only be brief...

Maybe that's why she is wary at best she was probably Roast Cat at some sort of fest Christmas or the like she was served up with some veg no wonder she tried to hide under a hedge chickens' beaks, feet, and even ears thinking about these gives me the fears

As a veggie, the most bizarre thing is probably a leaf I am staring at these confessions - they are beyond belief i'll have to take care of this cat and watch out for her life in case she ends up under EW's fork and knife <em>edited by BiscuitMuncher on 09/08/2012</em>

In Peru, I also tasted guinie *** roast, It was surprisingly yummy on a piece of toast. With the ketchup and mustard, it was finger licking. In fact it very much tasted like chicken... The frogslegs, snails and snake, how did I forget. I've not had anything not tasting of chicken yet.....

Crocodile, snake and deepfried crickets a couple of weeks ago in Vietnam. I don't recomend the crickets for anything other than novely value. Kudu in SA. And as I'm a Northern girl from UK, black pudding!
