People are being advised not to eat shark, marlin and other predatory fish due to the exessive levels or mercury they can contain.
While you can eat two cans of tuna a week, they advised against eating any shark.

Roo steaks sound good.

Had reindeer in Finland and it's the dogs doodies.
Couldn't get enough of it.
Speaking of dogs, if I was offered dog in Korea I probably would have eaten that too.

I was on the train to Cork once and we stopped suddenly.
The driver announced that we had hit some calves and had to wait while they cleared the track. All I could think of was veal steak

There are a hell of a lot of animals out there who'd eat me so I say, "eat or be eaten."

Funny thing is, I'm not a big fan of fish, just animals.

3 years ago Health Canada advised Canadians to limit consumption of shark, swordfish and fresh and frozen tuna, to one meal per week. They also said that pregnant women, women of child-bearing age and young children should eat no more than one meal per month.

I think this has been revised and in Ireland (can't find it on the Internet) people were advised to avoid shark.

Nothing about it on Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM)
or on Department of Agriculture & Food or on Bord Bia

Not as unusual as roo or croc steak I know, but I had ostrich steak in the Titanic in Cobh a few years ago and it was yummy. My ould fella nearly had a heart attack, since all I'd eat when I was a kid was sausages, chicken and plaice (but only the plaice they had in Garryvoe Hotel!)

They farm that in Ireland now, don't they?
I had Pigeon in Copenhagan a few years back.
Tiny little thing. You'd nead 4 or 5 of them to fill you any bit.
For anyone interested, you can get it at the restaurant by the mermaid.

When you're from West Cork and have eaten drisheen and crubeens you'd eat anything

I was in Italy last summer and on the menu was horse and Donkey.

how could anybody eat a poor donkey?

They had all the other food like chicken, beef , lamb etc and also someting labelled as just "meat". In my book they had covered all the other meat dishes so god knows what "meat" meant and from which animal?

**max power** · 25/03/2004, 11:59 AM

ate horse in spain and it was lovely, lean animal therefore lean meat, lovely.....

Not any different from a poor cow or a poor pig or a poor chicken, IMO.

So long as it's dead it's just meat.
I think I'd prefer horse though.
It's probably just the packaging but donkey's look old and grey and therefore not as tasty looking.
In many Indian restaurants they have "meat" dishes which usually means lamb.
People have hang ups about eating certain things because it just doesn't seem right. So long as the meat is fresh and cooked to my liking, I'll eat most animals. Actually I think I'd be a little slow to eat a primate, especially one belonging to the Pongidae family or Hominidae family.
