Fio, I commend your diplomacy surrounding the turtle (Honu in Hawaiian) situation. What a feeling that must have been to return such a beautiful animal to it's freedom and life. Awesome!

I think I must have unknowingly eaten dog in my life, I am half Filipino and they eat dogs too. As for snake, I know I've eaten rattle snake chili once and that was enough. Alligator, buffalo, ostrich, fruit bat, frogs, snails, octopus, sea urchin, limpets, jelly fish, assorted fish roe, crab innards, spirulina algae, seaweeds, kelps and who knows what else?
