If you cross it with an oyster it doesn't seem to matter ..... and you get that added boost that oysters have reputation for.... makes the little blue pills sound a bit tame now doesn't it Dottie, I'd switch to angles on horseback as the main meal and see what comes up for dessert

So eating thems not the answer .

Bernie, Do you mean rabbits or pigs. Cos I reckon they both taste great. 30 minutes ehh. Wow. However, I do NOT wish to be reincarnated as a pig.

[Dot]

Boy or girl pig is what I need to know?? before I commit to "coming back" Yeah I agree both taste yummy but lets be honest nothing beats that crackling, now that is getting close to the 30 minute pig thing.

Without wanting this to go too far off topic, my butcher says that female pork tastes far better than male pork. Over to you, Dot.

[norman]

I think wild pork taste,s better than farm ones, especially Capt Cooker......yummy

[Dot]

Ok Steve, My opinion is that the Coonie Coonie female pig tastes the best. BTW these pigs correct spelling is Kunekune. they are just like me, fat and round. (that is the Maori meaning) Brings back the memory of getting a holiday from another far far away place for saying that word.
