Your raw deer sounds a lot like an experience I had with octopus in the Pacific. "Cooked" in lemon juice. Let me spell it out for you since the Pacific Islanders thought I was insane: Cooking involves fire. Soaking in lemon juice = marinating, which is only a precursor to cooking.<BR/><BR/>Whew!

I see now that you were probably having sex. <BR/><BR/>I was not. I was with my mother and a bunch of librarians. We were not having sex. <BR/><BR/>But I did have a great time although not as much great food as I would've liked. Thankfully, I do speak French so I could avoid things like tartare. <BR/><BR/>I would love to hear more. I'm too lazy to write my own travelogue so it'd be fun to live through yours. <BR/><BR/>K_TDFKJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540589045180045544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-79169563341556776852008-08-20T15:29:00.000-04:002008-08-20T15:29:00.000-04:00So, you've been frenched....So, you've been frenched....Vodka Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734323418017847775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-59803229211342215142008-08-20T11:24:00.000-04:002008-08-20T11:24:00.000-04:00You were very brave doing French food at all.

I've been to Quebec and could relate to the food story. I'm not very adventurous myself (at least not when it comes to meat). I had a similar experience in Iceland (where they eat Puffins - and Horses). <BR/><BR/>Oh wait! Also in Beijing (I'm really not as much of a world traveler as I'm making this sound - I've just been on few cool trips). At a group dinner, I asked the waiter what a specific dish was and he said something that sounded like "Day-Tah-Dah." I made him repeat it several time and he definitely said day-tah-dah. To me, "Tah Dah!" usually heralds something fantastic - so I gave it a try. Not so much - turns out day-tah-dah meant "dear tendon." My other advice about food in China: try to avoid things that "jiggle".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-12933132098486006022008-08-20T06:13:00.000-04:002008-08-20T06:13:00.000-04:00I think "Whatbec" also counts as French.I think "Whatbec" also counts as French.Quarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07494851842360729155noreply@blogger.com
