Processed? I had frozen peas last week. They were fine. I would eat
fresh peas every day of the week in season if they weren't so expensive.
Heck, I would rather have canned peas that some of the other
vegetables out there.... like spinach, Swiss chard, parsnip....

Me too. I really like liver pate and liverwurst. Only twice in my lie
have had liver that was good. Both times it was cooked in and served
with a gravy. Eating fried liver IMO is like chewing on suede. I don't
mind the flavour. It is that nasty texture.

Try "calve's liver". They still sell it in some stores. I had it
right outta a recently butchered steer (that day). Changed my mind,
ferever!, and I was only 9 yrs old and hated liver.

OTOH, I stopped eating liver when I found out the 'liver' filters out
all yer toxic crap and stores some of it. Bleah! 8|

Green peas taste fine when they're fresh (or even frozen) and are small
peas. I grew up eating large, mushy factory canned peas. Ugh. (I was
*not* forced to eat them after tasting once and saying I didn't like
them.) It wasn't until I was about 30 years old and tasted fresh baby
peas I discovered how delicious they can be.

"Contains real carrots and peas!" Do the makers of dog food really
think dogs go out of their way to eat carrots and peas?

He was probably a pot-head even at that very young age, long before he
justified getting high every day because his back hurts. He's admittely
a Tasmanian druggie hillbilly (lives in the woop woop) that completely
knows how everyone else should live. He's always right and the world is
wrong.

IMO, nice guy but pretty messed up thinking. It just the weed though. He
can't help that.

I despise canned peas. Frozen are fine, fresh in season are even
better. They must be baby peas, though.

Sorry, but I never found smoking pot messed up my taste buds (or my
mind) to the point where I could believe scrambled eggs were fish. I
think he must have been very young and his mum told him it was something
he liked.

He was replying to Dave who said "When my son was young we could get him
to eat just about anything by telling him it was fish."

I don't know about you, Gary, but I can certainly tell the difference
between fish and... pretty much anything else.

My brother had a Labrador Retriever who loved fresh carrots. That was

Cambodians don't need money? It's a very poor country. Tourism is a
very important part of the economy there. Tourists need accommodation,
food and transport. Guess who does that and earns an income from it?
None of my money went to big business or the government, save for the
cost of a visa, airlines and I guess tax on petrol. It went directly
into ordinary people's hands.

It's really none of your business, but I'm helping a couple over there
pay for their daughter to get an education at a school that teaches
English. This will make a huge difference in her adult life. I became
good friends with the couple and I am actually looking into buying
property over there so I can eventually live there part time. Due to
Cambodian law that is difficult for a non-citizen to do (unless you
are rich and can afford a USD$250000 'donation' to the government).
Long story short, if this comes to pass, this family will also get
free accommodation for several years out of it.

I had two black Labs that would eat just about anything. My Bouvier
would eat a little of most things, but did like peas, bananas or citrus
fruits. My Groenendahl lived on dry dog food and would eat treats of
meat, bone, fat or cheese. No doggie biscuits for him. My current dog,
a Malinois can be tricked into eating a few vegetables if there is some
sort of meat juice on them. He does seem to like sweet potato fries.

I wish mine liked her veggies, but she doesn't. I can give her
leftover stew and she'll extract all the meat and gravy, leaving every
last piece of vegetable... unless I crush them up and mix it into the
gravy.

Three to six year olds have some strange concepts about things. Often

You can't paint all pets with the same brush. Allegedly cats and dogs
like canned pumpkin. When my cat Persia was having some disgestive

Hmm... you never know.

My oldest cat, Annie, likes cooked cauliflower, which blew my mind
given how fussy she is More than ten years ago, I was eating a
cauliflower bake, she kept pestering me for some and I eventually gave
in and gave her a piece just to shut her up. She ate it... and every
other piece I gave her.

Well... Persia's been dead since 2014 so it's too late to ask her. I'm
sure I did try mixing it with Fancy Feast. I do know she wouldn't eat
canned pumpkin.

Yes, a lot of dogs at Animal Friends Connection are given sliced raw carrots
as treats, they love them. My dog likes them cooked in the food I make for
her, but she doesn't like them raw. She loves canned green beans though, and
I give them to her often as a treat.

Yes, a lot of dogs at Animal Friends Connection are given sliced raw carrots
as treats, they love them. My dog likes them cooked in the food I make for
her, but she doesn't like them raw. She loves canned green beans though, and
I give them to her often as a treat.

I will try that She gets carrots in the food I cook for her but I've
never offered a raw slice

OK, here's my "tricking someone about ingredients" story.

Back when I was married and our 2 girls were still very young, the
local stores were trying to promote shark meat. We bought a
package of it and wife cut it into bite-sized chunks, battered
and pan fried.

The little girls (age 4 and 7) loved chicken nuggets but didn't
like fish. So we told them it was chicken nuggets. They both
loved them and ate all. Everyone loved the dinner. heheh

Then right afterwards, I made the mistake of telling them what
they really ate. They both freaked out. They were both actually
horrified. wth?

Anyway, we never cooked shark meat again - evidently they didn't
sell much so it disappeared from the stores.

Here's the funny part - for the next 6 months or more, my wife
would cook them real chicken nuggets and they both refused to
even try them, thinking it was another trick. lol.

A friend of mine hosts an annual birthday/Christmas party at a Greek
restaurant. There is always a selection of the usual Greek fare and
cheese sticks, meatballs, veggies etc. One year there was a platter of
calamari rings. I saw two boys about 7-8 years old go over to the table
and one got a bunch of calamari. One kid whispered something to the
other and I got the impression he was telling him that the rings were
quid not onion. The kid sort of grimaced but then took a bite of one,
and apparently he approved.

While on a business trip to Chicago my co-workers and I went to an
Italian restaurant. One woman excused herself to go to the ladies room;
in the meantime someone ordered calamari rings for us to snack on. The
woman returned to the table. She didn't know what she was eating but
loved it! She was quite surprised when we told her it was squid. I
knew her very well and suspect she wouldn't have tried it if she knew
ahead of time.
