Hmm ... I think I understood, gord. But am curious ... how were the slugs fixed at the Smorgasbord?
NOTE: This question is coming from somebody who fixed a cast iron skillet filled with Chicken Hearts last night, sauteed in some bacon grease with sliced onions & mushrooms.

Caught me in alerts just as I was heading out. Taking three or four days off solo. Peopled and media'd out. Too much crap going on in the world and I'm doing a solo. About the only thing I'll miss is the forum cuz I still have lots to learn.

Slugs weren't at the smorgasbord - I was unclear here. I was watching some mallards gobble up slugs at the local park. I just compared their enthusiasm to my own at a Sechuan Smorg.

Apparently slugs are somewhat bitter in taste, according to any reports I've read. Never felt any necessity to try them, and have no intention of doing so, either. However, your chicken heart concoction in bacon grease with sliced onions and mushrooms sounds great. I've done similar things for sure! I'm quite a fan of stewed chicken gizzards in gravy as well. Bon appetite!

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. M'lady is feeding the cats so I can watch the Braves-Marlins game. This is the first time that a woman umpires a major league baseball game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Smoking some 4th Generation Freja & Loki Small Batch in my latest “Last pipe I’m ever going to buy…stop buying pipes! You don’t need anymore!” pipe, a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122. Regardless, it’s a beautiful pipe. Feels great in my hand. The Freja & Loki satisfies my craving for Katerini just enough. A little more burley than I tend to care for but gotta throw the buds a few curve balls to keep them honest.

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with unsalted peanuts and a golden delicious apple lunch. I've a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink.
