Well, I thought that given the recent food scare seafood would be safe, but I've just had a Fish Pie and found traces of Seahorse in it .....

A few years ago in Canada they 'rebranded' Buffalo meat as Bison as people were passing off Water Buffalo as American Buffalo. -

Re: Seafood scare
We've got a rather dubious pack of scampi bites in the freezer. The main ingredient listed is "reconstituted scampi." Reconstituted from what?

Re: Seafood scare
Careful John, now you are about to step over the line - disgusting!Originally posted by Zuiko View PostHmmm, I wonder what bits they use to get the authentic fishy taste? 
But whilest we are at it, isn't it so that zillions of Seahorses are eaten by, most probably Asian nuts, to get the thing going again?!
Oh well, now I might have fallen into my own trapp, right?

Re: Seafood scare
I'm not quite so worried about fish as I am by meat. This whole business is causing us to take a greater interest in what we actually are eating, though.Originally posted by JohnheatingmanJohn, according to the Tinternet' Reconstituted Scampi is likely to be made from any type of cheap fish EXCEPT Scampi so don't worry it's not harmful to you... might just make you go a little green round the gills. Enjoy !

Re: Seafood scare
There was a time when a lot of "scampi" was made from monkfish tails - as highlighted by Fester Rancid on 'That's Life' (showing my age now!). Then monkfish tails became fashionable in all the best seafood restaurants and the price went through the roof. And it dawned on the people who had previously moaned about monkfish in scampi that actually they'd been getting a bit of a bargain.Originally posted by Zuiko View PostWe've got a rather dubious pack of scampi bites in the freezer.

I'm looking forward to the beef in horseburger food scandal in about 20 years time.

Re: Seafood scare
I've eaten deep fried grasshoppers in Thailand and they're quite nice, and crunchy too.Originally posted by Zuiko View PostI wonder how long before we find products containing locusts and meal worms instead of meat.
Could replace Pringles.
In China I've had chickens feet (not a lot of meat) and snake, which tastes a lot like chicken. My Chinese hosts tried to wind me up about snake soup by telling me there was a Cantonese saying "the more poisonous the snake the tastier the soup" followed by " good soup this isn't it?"
Another (modern) Cantonese saying is apparently " we eat anything that flies, except aeroplanes and anything that runs on the ground, except cars."
It's all in the mind.
