I believe she is out to lunch

Milwaukee's a long way to go for lunch.

Elizabeth

Isn't that where the beer is great ?

Yeah, it was kinda a waste, since I hate beer. I did have a very fine Wiener Schnitzel at a good German restaurant, though, but not for lunch.

Elizabeth

I only like beer on a hot sunny day, cut with ginger beer, a shandy. Haven't had a Wiener Schnitzel for ages - must look for some nice veal.

What in heaven's name are you doing in Milwaukee ? Not, I hasten to add, that I am suggesting it is anything like Cleveland. Even that will prolly get me in trouble, I'm away to bed before the flames singe me!

Do you REALLY eat veal? We don`t, on principal. Don`t like the way it`s raised! To be honest we should be vegetarian, but like fillet steak too much - but there ARE limits!

You said it yourself - you eat meat.

Have you ever actually been to Cleveland? I have, it has problems, as all cities do, but on the whole it's quite nice. Has some world class museums (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for one) and a wonderful zoo. One of Dude's all time fav restaurants is up there as well.

People who insist on perpetuating the whole "Mistake on the Lake" thing disgust me. But then you also perpetuate other lies, so I guess this is just more of the same from you.

Yes, but just meat is a totally different kettle of fish to eating calves. "Meat" at least has a good life for a decent amount of time!

Further to my last post look at

When we lived in Michigan we lived in an area with dairy farms. Well to make cows give milk they do have to have had a calf at some point. We saw a lot of "veal stalls" with the poor little things trapped inside.

I never cared for the taste of veal, and now I'd never touch the stuff.

Caryn

While I know that veal stalls do exist (though thankfully, getting rarer), that's not how my grandfather did it. Nor his local peers. The bull calves (and only bulls) followed their mothers around until end. It might just be my memory, but it sure had more flavor than the insipid stuff I occasionally eat today.

When I was ou in Colorodo around Pueblo, there were a lot of cattle and feed lots. The ranchers only had veal if a calf stepped into a gopher hole and broke its leg. The veal was not "milk-fed" veal since most calves would have started eating grass and hay by then. "Milk-fed" veal is from calves that have only had milk but no other food. Tasteless by comparision. But to each his own. Some people like lamb, but not mutton. Goat and mule aren't bad. Horse is a little strong and to sweet for my taste. Moose and deer are both good. But what do you expect from a part time Mainer (which some people call Maineiac).

George

I find horse is sweet, but it makes a very good source for steak tartare, and I like moose but am not too fond of deer meat. Wonder what that makes me, living next door to Maineiacs. lol

We have many names for those wonderful people who come down from the north country to Ogunquit and spend all kinds of money here. Some of the names can even be said in polite company and in front of children. We always get lots of visitors from the Montreal area and even some from Toronto. The only real problem with them is that they seem to never have heard of the fact that you are suppossed to stop for pedestrians in a cross walk.

George

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a world class museum?

Lucille

As a Maineiac I know says

Jealous!

I hope you have noticed though, that a Nova Scotian will always stop for pedestrians. We also tip generously, the other thing those uppity folk from Montreal and Toranna do not do lol

My son works in the Coast Guard out of Brier Island, so very close to Maine just there.

I don't know, but I know a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame would count in this house as a world class museum experience! LOL
