I've seen my nephew suffer concussions in high level hockey and hope he doesn't suffer long term affects.

I had a coach that would ask the same question:

"What day it is"

the answer was always

"game day coach"

That apparently the British Royal Family is related to Mohammad and the Queen has two pedophile children.

Although, after spending a few hours researching the matter, I still have my doubts about both statements.

Well, hence my doubts.

But in the Prince Philip thread, two children are claimed but unnamed.

I just learned that raw horse meat sashimi is a thing in Japan. Gross.

[Geraldsh]

The horse packing plant in Edmonton used to send lots of meat to Japan. Some was cured like bacon.

On the Japanese horse meat:

When i was in japan i stumbled into an izakaya that the bartender/cook was kind enough to tell me they only serve horse meat. I gave it a shot and they brought over a little hibachi to cook it at the bar - mostly just searing thin strips. I thought it was quite good - i would eat it again if i was in Japan with someone who hadnt been and wanted to try.

On the Flames CP Wiki: Anyone have any comments about the supposed players and ken king on the board? [nvm seems to be there, unless there are other ones that arent mentioned]

Have you ever had Beef Tartar?

No but I’ve seen it served. It’s mixed with egg and seasoning to make it palatable. The horse sashimi just looks like a hunk of raw meat.

So like Carpaccio


Also Beef Tartar is made well is amazing and yummy.


I have had horse in France, didn't like the taste, but doesn't bother me ethically.

Carpaccio is sliced extra thin and usually has some oil and salt applied in a type of semi cure.

Beef Tataki might be the closest to what is described. That or a good ol' blue rare thick steak.

That sounds grand, in fact I might not know it was horse.

It’s not an ethical thing for me either. Horse meat just doesn’t look appetizing.

I learned that Mars (the company, not the planet, ya idiot) owns VCA which runs a bunch of vet clinics. The same company that makes M&Ms is in charge of pet care. This probably isn't a big deal but it feels like something out of Idiocracy.
