=======================
 ML> Yes, pheasant are among the best.
 JW> It's been many, many years since I've had one.

They are fairly abundant here, wild and cultivated both.
I rather enjoy them - nicer-textured than chicken, not
unlike bunny rabbit but darker.

  They can be found in
 JW> Ontario and Alberta but I've always lived in places north of their
 JW> natural range like Ottawa and Cold Lake. And the local stores, even
 JW> the specialty butcher shop, don't carry farmed pheasant.

Since they live in fairly cool climates I hadn't considered
north of their natural range, though of course you are north
of just about everyone's natural range, including humans.

 JW> Turkeys have made a comeback in my home town though.

Sounds like something one of the Daves might say if idiots
took over his town council. Or see below.

 -=> Jim Weller said to Dave Drum <=-

 JW> In her statement of claim, Ms. Hohenberg says she was "shocked to
 JW> learn" from friends "that Nutella was in fact not a 'healthy,'
 JW> 'nutritious' food but was instead the next best thing to a candy
 JW> bar."
 JW> Did the bimbo ever taste it before feeding it to her kids? Or read
 JW> the label? 

I was shocked, shocked, I tell you!

 DD> Taco Bell only uses 35 percent real beef, lawsuit claims
 JW> This is what Taco Bell has to say:
 JW> "Seasoned Ground Beef: Beef, Water, Seasoning [Isolated Oat Product,
 JW> Salt, Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Tomato Powder, Oats (Wheat), Soy
 JW> Lecithin, Sugar, Spices, Maltodextrin, Soybean Oil (Anti-dusting
 JW> Agent), Garlic Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Caramel
 JW> Color, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Silicon Dioxide,
 JW> Natural Flavors, Yeast, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Smoke Flavor],
 JW> Salt, Sodium Phosphates."

Depends on what "seasoning" means. It's possible that this
formula encompasses a slurry of 35% beef and 32.5% each of
water and "seasoning" made from "isolated oat product."
Enough to cause the product to be relatively not unhealthy
but also to cause a whopper, er, enchilada of a fine for
misrepresentation.

Interesting that the fillers listed aren't by and large
awful things, you know, rat whiskers and sand and stuff,
and also that I add oats in my probably 70% beef chili,
but Taco Bell didn't say, hey, we have all this healthy
fiber in our tacos, did it - probably because it didn't
want people to know. By the way, why are oats wheat?

 JW> So, not pure meat, but pretty much what you'd expect.

Bear in mind that that's their word only. The food fringies
who filed this particular suit apparently did lab tests, which
may or may not have been accurate.

 JW> For once I'm on the side of big biz. Totally frivolous in both
 JW> cases.
 
Bah, I'm disappointed. Totally frivolous in one case and
somewhat silly (but informative) in the other.
