Okay, I missed just about every reference in that graf, except for
the "show" part... but I have no idea who these people are.  TV just
ain't my thing, and cooking even less.  I was serious... my primary
cooking gadget is a microwave, and the only other appliances in my
kitchen that get any use at all are the coffee grinder and the
coffeemakers...  and occasionally the range, once in a while.

Don't even know who Julia Child is?

They'd fall under the heading of "Could probably try them if it were
a social necessity."  (I'm not all THAT fond of lobster or crab,
either.)


Good with garlic butter

Can't rightly say; haven't had rabbit in twenty, thirty years and
don't remeber it well.  I come from a family of non-hunters, and you
don't often find rabbit at the local grocery mart.


Um - er - you don't?  Why not? Should be between the pork section and the
poultry section in the supermarket

Well, I've had it as tender rubber and tough rubber and it just
tasted to me like... rubber.   No flavor, no texture, just some
undefinable chewy stuff which I quickly learned to avoid.  (In the
Andes it doesn't always do to look too closely at the undefinable
chewy stuff....)

Can't imagine that it would be much of a staple in the Andes - too far from
the sea. Here, though there are a gazillion types in the supermarkets and
restaurants and pubs. Rarely is it rubbery unless you go to someone's house,
and they bought it at the supermarket and cooked it themselves. In
restaurants and pubs its mostly either tender and sweet or crispy and spicy
