A man should swallow a toad every morning to be certain of not encountering anything more disgusting in the course of the day. Nicholas de Chamfort
i have a feeling this is not going to work out well for the hamster, sugar. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteMade me think of this.
ReplyDeleteOh Hai Savannah!
Poor mr. hampster.
ReplyDeleteHamster, that is.
ReplyDeletehamster? snake? interesting...

ReplyDeleteI love an optimist!

ReplyDeletexl - Yup!
bb - hampstercampster - I like it!
Screamish - that's what I thought
Alesa - Do you steam them or do you prefer chargrilled?

Eryl - Me too - that hamster will come out on top - I promise!
ReplyDeleteHmm... last time I had it it was stewed. Which was pretty good, but not especially interesting.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that if I could get my hands on some, I'd deep fry it... either with a light batter and bread crumbs tempura style (with a light shoyu/sesame dipping sauce, maybe a bit of fresh grated ginger) or with heavy and heavily seasoned batter, southern US style.
Steaming would not have occurred to me... How does that work out?
I've never understood keeping snakes - it's against one of our primary innate aversions. It reminds me of those people who make you smell milk when it's gone off. 'Cor! This is disgusting! Have a whiff of this...'
ReplyDeleteDefinitely on Team Hamster here.
I'm confused. Maybe I shouldn't have washed down the endone for my crook back with a Moscow Mule.
ReplyDeleteThe upside is I'm no longer feeling anything resembling pain
If the hamster and snakes don't have anything nice to say to each other, they should keep it to themselves.
ReplyDeleteAlesa - steaming's a good option but do make sure the snake is dead first.
ReplyDeleteGlory - some people like horror
Nursey - bring your drugs to the pajama party, they sound good.
Kat - does that advice ever work?
Why is that?
ReplyDeleteIf it's still alive, you know it didn't die from eating a poisoned rat (or hamster?), and you're sure it is fresh!
Good point well made Alesa - The Japanese have a couple of dishes that involve eating live fish, I would worry a bit about the snake overpowering me I guess
ReplyDeletewe had a hamster but after a week we wanted it dead
ReplyDeleteHey I got hamster pic
ReplyDeletenot mcnuggets
well actually it's a guinea pig but you can't tell.
You can use it if you like but it would nice if you gave me credit.
I'm in Glory's camp - I know some people like horror and being dramatic but it does seem odd (especially when you could have cute fluffy dogs instead) :p
