 GJ> Chicken feet are very good for that, as they contain a lot of gelatin.
 ML> Chicken feet are hard to come by in civilized parts, i.e., those
 ML> that spell civilized with a zee.
 GJ> Oh, really?  What happens to your chicken feet?  I can get them in
 GJ> several places, raw or cooked, but I spell civilized with a zed.

I'm not sure: I'd imagine they went into such processed things as
canned soups, Jell-O, and bouillon cubes.

 GJ> One small bone and associated mouse meat would not noticeably affect
 GJ> the flavour of the bulk meat.  Presumably some others got the rest of
 GJ> the mouse.  It would have been well cooked, so not a health danger.

Correct about the flavor; but it's likely that much of the
rest of the mouse ended up in proximity to the detected part.

 ML> My teeth are hard. My issue is more aesthetic and emotional.
 GJ> I am surprised that you are not able to consider eating bits of dead
 GJ> mouse objectively.  The aesthetics of ground beef would be
 GJ> negligeable. 

I want to have the option of deciding whether or not I eat mouse.

 GJ> You have been there, so it can't be all bad, but I haven't yet had
 GJ> that pleasure.  From what I have read it is similar to the Australian
 GJ> mid-west wheat growing areas.

Parts of it, maybe. The Ozarks, though, which are very pretty
and the source of the stereotypes of the folks with one tooth,
are largely in Arkansas with a bit in Missouri.

 GJ> As long as the crew doesn't get too addled, and fly the plane to the
 GJ> wrong destination.  _That_ would be embarrassing.

That occasionally happens. One United pilot once, when looking
for Portland, landed in I believe Troutdale instead; unfortunately,
the aircraft was too big for the airport, and although the landing
was made, I think it was exceedingly difficult to get the plane
back out.

 GJ> I saw that the unpopular Prime Minister of Thailand, who has been
 GJ> refusing to leave office, even though mobs have been marching, has now
 GJ> been forced by the courts to resign.  The reason is that he has been
 GJ> appearing in a cooking show on TV, preparing his favourite dishes, and
 GJ> has been paid for that.  Working for a private firm while in office is
 GJ> illegal, so the court ruled he had to go.

It's a pretty toxic situation down there.

      Title: Dirt Cake
 Categories: Cakes
      Yield: 10 servings

      1 ea Flower pot                          8 oz Cream cheese, softened
      1 ea Garden trowel                       1 c  Confectioner's sugar
      3 ea Gummy worms (or plastic)            1 ts Vanilla
      1 ea Plastic flowers, bunch              2 pk Inst choc-fudge
pudding(4oz)
     16 oz Oreo cookies                        3 c  Milk
    1/2 c  Butter, softened                   12 oz Whipped topping,1 tub
thawed

  This is a joke, a bit of whimsy to lighten up your next party. The cake is
  really a quick mix dessert made with Oreo cookies and soft squishy stuff.
  The trick is to capture everyone's attention with an announcement of some
  sort, and as you are speaking, trowel out some of the dirt from the flower
  pot around the flowers and eat it. May be followed by a worm dug out of
  the "dirt". You may substitute vanilla pudding for the chocolate if you
  want, and use up to 20 oz of Oreos. Please use a clean new plastic flower
  pot or take the precaution of lining a clay pot with foil and wrap the
  stems of live flowers if you use them in order to prevent any toxins from
  entering the dessert.
    Crush the cookies until they resemble potting soil.  Set aside.
    Cream the butter or margarine, cream cheese, sugar  and vanilla until
  smooth and fluffy.  Set aside.  Combine the pudding mix and milk until
  well blended.  Then fold in the whipped topping.  Gently fold the cream
  cheese and pudding mixtures together.
    To put the "cake" together, layer one-third of the cookie crumbs
  followed by 1/2 of the pudding mixture, 1/3 of the crumbs, the rest of the
  pudding mixture and topping with the balance of the crumbs.   Refrigerate
  10-12 hours before serving.  Remove from refrigerator, decorate with
  flowers.  Serve by digging out portions with the trowel.  Serves 10 to 12.
