Subj: 182 food p'izening

Britain and Europe [...] have virtually eliminated salmonella

Not to say that we can't, just that we won't barring a major
paradigm shift.

They are ahead of NA in many ways but they get labelled statist and
socialist which scares a lot of people here. But enough said about
that.

I guess your situation is similar

It is.

Subj: 187 lung

CFIA ... "Although several parts of a carcass may be salvaged
and sold as such for human consumption, their incorporation
into prepared meat products in a registered establishment would
constitute adulteration (e.g. spleens, brains). Refer to
Section 21 of the Meat Inspection Regulations, 1990 for more
details."

Several is an odd term in this context.

It's clarified in section 21 of the attendant regs which goes into
elaborate and specific detail. Amending legislation requires
parliamentary approval and happens infrequently but regulations
within the overall framework can be changed and updated easily by
senior bureaucrats.

Subj: Fire in the sky

pine and birch recipes [...] perhaps I can [...] eat locally
after all.

But are you trying to get rid of those trees? Seems you guys
ought to cherish all the trees you can raise.

My stepson Ray is a staunch environmentalist and Neekha absorbed his
philosophy as best as a child can when she was young. She was
three when I asked her if she wanted to go into the bush with me to
harvest a small Christmas tree. She excitedly ordered me not to cut
down any trees because "we need them to breathe!"

Restaurant review and a caution: The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company

Perhaps everyone here is already familiar with this American chain
but I had not heard of it before. It just opened up its first
Canadian franchise in Edmonton and Roslind attended it with the kids
and grandkids (I was stuck in YK so this review is second hand.)

Positives: The food was reasonably tasty and of adequate quality if
not memorable. Service was OK.

Negatives:

It's a stupid concept restaurant dreamt up for Paramount Pictures to
capitalize on the movie and then sold to Landry's in Texas.

It's located on "Bourbon Street" another phony corporate theme in
that dreaded behemoth, West Edmonton Mall, surrounded by other lame,
waste of good money chains like East Side Mario's, Moxie's and Tony
Roma's.

The name is hokey.

The stupid logo is hokey.

The menu has not just seafood and southern food but had all the
stock chain items like chicken wings and Caesar salad, and a
mishmash of culinary themes: Cajun Chicken sandwiches, popcorn
shrimp with pepperoncini, Maine lobster tails with Cajun spices,
coconut shrimp, Maker's Mark Glazed Salmon with creamed spinach etc.

Everything was vastly overpriced for what was presented: eg. $19
sandwiches with $8 upgrades from fries to side salads.

Red Lobster is equally good at two thirds the price.

Food 6/10, tacky fake theme, decor and ambiance -1, value -2, so
3/10 overall. Avoid.

Non sequitur:

A beautiful woman walks into a bar. The barkeep asks, "What'll you
have?" She replies, "I'd like a double entendre, please." So he
gives it to her."

Cheers

... It was all foam and no beer.
