 ML>> Eh, people think it's gross, but in fact, it's just protein
 ML>> and fat and tastes somewhat like liver.
 NB>> Cooked, it's the "good stuff"...  and I quote my father, who'd make
 NB>> sure that that part of the drippings from making hamburgers (on a pan
 NB>> with a rack to let all the fat drip below) didn't go to waste by
 NB>> rescuing it himself...  :)
 ML> I've heard people who don't "do" blood rationalize the
 ML> deliciousness of drippings and juice by saying that it's not
 ML> blood, it's intramuscular fluid. Whatever.

Indeed.  And it's not squid, it's calamari; nor snails, but escargot.  ;)

 ML>> Yes, and with the offender close by and presumably someone you
 ML>> know, you can use that as an opportunity to teach an ecological
 ML>> lesson. In addition, for me, I often start noshing on their
 ML>> refuse, saying something along the waste not want not line.
 NB>> I could be tempted to do that last, as long as it was something I was
 NB>> interested in, and not already too full to the gills... ;)
 ML> It's not just the fat and trimmings, sometimes there are whole
 ML> pieces of chicken (as others have pointed out) and slices of
 ML> meat that go uneaten. 

There are some things on the buffet that I hadn't taken because I
wouldn't want to eat them myself, those wouldn't tempt me on someone
else's plate, even as a lesson..  The whole piece of chicken or slice of
meat might be more likely, but not if I had already misjudged my own
capacity and was having trouble finishing my own stuff..  ;)

 ML> I avoid such behavior, even when the stuff tastes not so good: it
 ML> has to be really, really bad before I will waste it.

Likewise.  The rule in our house is, that if you put it on the plate,
it's to be eaten... so pick wisely and within what you can eat.  And we
tend not to willingly waste stuff unless it really is nasty... 

 NB>> The Wegmans broccoli slaw is pretty good, as is their version that
 NB>> also has cauliflower julienne strips added... what you use for the
 NB>> dressing also has something to do with it, of course..  :)  I prefer
 NB>> both to the "normal" cabbage-based cole slaw...  :)
 ML> The dressing in question was white, which prevented my being
 ML> curious enough to taste it. White dressings are poison to me
 ML> as a generalization.
 
As generally containing lactose of some sort...?   I forget what the
ingredients in the Marzetti slaw dressing are... I suppose it might have
some milk product in it, but I wasn't aware of that... have to check
sometime... :)

 ML>> the question of fiddleheads came up, and turns out
 ML>> Dan L. and his mother Anne hadn't ever tried them, and
 ML>> I said, oh, I'll get the leftovers and heat them up so
 ML>> you can try. Annie admitted that she had thrown them out.
 ML> She also tossed a whole pork tenderloin (!) and assorted other
 ML> unwanted things. I don't want her to descend into penury, but as
 ML> long as she can buy whatever she wants whenever she wants, there
 ML> will be substantial waste in the household.

Sigh...  I guess you didn't have any lasting effect on that part of her
makeup, after all...  ;(  

 ML> Ulva Soup
 ML> 1/2 c fresh ulva fronds
 ML> Ulva creates a very nice soup base and background flavor for
 ML> most clear soups. Wash and clean the Ulva thoroughly in
 ML> lukewarm fresh water. Remove any small snails that may be
 ML> feeding on the blades. 

What, not eat the snails...?  (G)
