Wasn't much meat on it. The skin was crispy.



Are what wellingtons?! No, though.

What exactly did you roast?

And thanks for the suggestion, I was wondering what to do for supper tonight. Looks like I'll be smoking some chicken sausage.

Geoff, I must apologize, I did not do chicken sausage, none of my local markets carried it and I wasn't driving 45 mins roundtrip to go get it (I can pick it up on the way home from work).

I did pick up some country style pork ribs for a quick applewood smoke. Turned out alright for a throw together dinner...

Deep fried crickets: I rather liked it actually. A bit like shrimp actually.
Form is form. Once one gets past that, it's all about taste and nutrition.

I was already on a steep enough bit of the learning curve as it was. I think I said, next time.

I had bbqd butterflies and scorpians in Thailand - they eat them like crisps

In terms of the ingredients, nothing more unusual than what I had already eaten in France, it was the way every single thing was different. By the end of my visit I was quite proud of my ability to pop a piece of frog in my mouth, strip it from the bone with my tongue and then remove the small piece of bone from my month with my chop sticks and pop it on my plate, while chatting away

Fortunately I wasn't bothered by seeing the animals about to be served up clucking / hopping about in a cage on the street.
