Pets

Pets We should only keep pets we could eat, say, rabbits Or miniature pigs when we get tired of them in the pot they go. In the hinterland of Alentejo, I once had rabbit stew It tasted strange but was edible later I suspect it was Cat meat. I have been thinking of becoming a vegetarian. Have tried But it never tasted like meat. There is now artificial meat for sale, alas mostly as burgers When they come up with a good steak that doesn`t fall Into pieces, I will eat that meat. As for now I will have fried sausages for my lunch and Baked potatoes

Enjoyed this :) brought to mind a scene in "Roger and Me" a documentary on Flint Michegan, a woman selling rabbits calling out "pet or meat". I would have no problem eating my pet birds' eggs and offspring, I'd have to be real hungry to eat my dog though ;)
