'Twas only not even a couple of hours, Steve.

So, I looked it up, and lo & behold, squid ink pasta is made using real
squid ink. I Just assumed it was one of those Chinese food-name
euphemisms. Where do you buy squid ink anyways?

As usual, looks good. But don't you sort of find that a meal is not
complete unless it has some chunks of dead animal carcass?


I roasted another duck today, and again ended up missing a drumstick. It
really made me mad, especially because I *thought* I verified it had two
after missing out on a leg also on my previous duck.

All the vacuum-sealed frozen ducks are labelled 'May be missing some
components'. And we have been conditioned to expect that ducks processed
by conveyor belts & robots might sometimes be missing a leg or a wing.

But it *seems* to me that somewhere in the factory there are 'molds'
shaped like duck legs that can gather up the big flap of skin around the
anus (probably using a vacuum) and then freeze it in place to make it
look just like a duck leg.

They are then free to sell the leg 'standalone' for more money. It would
not be so bad if the package stated 'reduced footprint' or some such
legal disclaimer.

Please tell me if you think my argument has a leg to stand on, or if I
sound like a quack.
