1. Is saffron a dye made from a crocus like flower? 2. It is the French that eat horsemeat. I know that because in my former airline days, horsemeat was exported to France. Not sure if it was dead or alive at the time. 3. As to the Brits eating curry - that is true but my guess is that the good ole fish & chips have become somewhat expensive and the supply of fresh fish has weakened due to over-fishing. European Union common market members are I believe permitted to fish in each other's back yards. The Spanish are I believe one of the main culprits.

I hear that Indian/British-style curry has over-taken 'fish & chips' as the national food in GB. Is that correct, O British buddies? I would like to try some kangaroo fur, just to say I did it. Who knows? While off subject, Dave Murphy was going to get me some saffron from the east coast before he so untimely passed away. Does anyone have any Eastern contacts that can do better than the jillion $/gram that the markets here charge? Off to the lake in just a little, DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah Duran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've heard the kangaroo isn't bad. My buddy just couldn't stomach it.
