'Solomon' was her pronunciation of 'Salmon'. She left the vertebrae of the fish in. It had been boiled long enough to leave it soft - it crushed like wet sand between my tongue and the roof of my mouth. I smiled and ate it. :) The soup wasn't bad.Joseph S.

I don't know from what animal.<br /><br />Yes, be careful for Asian street food. I also ate tongue without realizing it, either. My mom told me afterward. Blaaghh.A.L.

We had pheasant with our turkey this year. I enjoy a good buffalo burger when I'm out west. Other than that, I typically play it safe. If I want a food that "tastes like chicken," I'll order the chicken.<br /><br />I finally started reading "With a Name Like Love" last night. I'll be writing about it when I finish it.
