I see that Dremel are advertising their cutting tools to carve a pumpkin for Halloween. Something to talk about?

[a little late]
What a cool idea!

I wonder what I can do with my Dremel and bits.

I've got one, a Dremel that is, seems like it would be messy to Me, a knife seems good enough, if one is careful...

Barf! I'm with Chris on this, although I won't logoff, I just don't like the idea of eating brains or liver...

I think that Gary's (I will assume "calf brains"???) picture makes an interesting point about the arbitrary nature of what we deem edible.

In some cultures roasted and salted insects are a crunchy tasty street snack. Mmmmmmm... exoskeleton!!! I've eaten roasted goat abroad, but in the USA it is infrequently consumed. It is part of my Italian heritage to eat rabbit, but I have to go to a specialty meat market to find it in my little corner of the world. I understand in some cultures bats are eaten, but I've never seen bat meat on a menu here. In some cultures, animal flesh is not eaten at all.

People are omnivores, but omnivores with heavy cultural biases. I suspect Gary was trying to make that point. Either that, or he was just getting into the Halloween spirit!

Both. File name on the picture is monkey brains, but I do not know if it is accurate.

Yes yuk to some, but I am a WW child and food was scarse. My grand parents were a cook and a butcher. Yes brain was on the menu, just not Monkies.
I have eating strange things, but I would not like to play on Survivor.

I know what you mean Angela. My Dutch in-laws loved smoked horse meat. Try asking for that in a big chain grocery store.

You are dating yourself a bit with the comment about growing up during WW II...

I ate reindeer on a pizza in Finland. Food is a very cultural thing.
