It's close to mutton, better I think--not quite as greasy (leg of lamb tho' a fave). Ranchero style, they butcher the cabrito, and wrap in burlap, salt it down, etc. and put in a sort of earthen oven for a day. Muy sabroso, especially with the Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592514.post-54948093661246182002009-06-21T19:43:16.064-07:002009-06-21T19:43:16.064-07:00Well, I was thinking of the hazard of contaminatin...Well, I was thinking of the hazard of contaminating my own food supply. But, no, I have not been in the desperate fire-ant circumstance you describe.<br /><br />Nor have I ever eaten goat - that I know of. Not a menu highlight in the Great Lakes region. And I can't imagine Johnny Ray singing: "Gee, but it's great after Carne Cabron, walkin' my baby back home . . ."<br /><Jazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592514.post-43068539120370199502009-06-20T22:35:29.658-07:002009-06-20T22:35:29.658-07:00I doubt you have encountered desert fire-ants, j-b...I doubt you have encountered desert fire-ants, j-b. Anticide is the only solution, however brutal. I leave bees alone, and hornets alone, unless it's one of these fat green ones aiming for me head. Black widows tho' must be eradicated--the occasional scorp or sun spider as well (now whatever Designer made those puppays was definitely not working for Jeezuss).

Neither fly nor flea is granted any mercy. <br /><br />But, then again, I eat mammals.<br /><br />Go figure. <br /><br />I would, however, draw the line at discharging Raid in the kitchen. Seems to tip risk/reward the wrong way.<br /><br />Cheers!Jazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.com
