The dog was eaten because I and my hosts were starving. The sea slug was on my plate at a dinner party, to not have eaten would have offended, in fact it was nice.

It depends on the region I think. The traditional Paella Valenciana has rabbit and chicken afaik.

It's different. Hare has a specific taste of 'wild game' meat. Some people can't stand that specific taste, some love it.

In Sweden.

If I were starving then I would probably re-consider, but wouldn't choose it off a menu!!

Sea slug in Thailand
Deep fried Mars bar in Scotland
Yorkshire pudding in Lancashire, yuck.


:( Purdey mou, you must have had a 'bad' Yorkie then as they are delicious!
I believe they are served as a main meal in Yorkshire - with the meat, gravy and vegetables on top of one huge pudding! :)

They are not easy to make (or is it just me?) so back home I used to buy the frozen packs of 'Aunt Bessie's' :wink:
