I can't face soft-shell crabs (besides the shell being nowhere near as soft as I expected) - and no whole fish (especially with eyes).Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-65765638320896394752015-10-07T23:04:36.913-05:002015-10-07T23:04:36.913-05:00I've had this on my wishlist for ages too - I ...I've had this on my wishlist for ages too - I can read about eyes and bits but I don't think I'd be making them anytime soon. The eyes are such a personal thing too - I don't feel at all comfortable looking my food face-to-face. But I am interested in the process of producing food, so I am not put off in any way! ;-)skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-74805081280399901942015-10-05T20:16:53.572-05:002015-10-05T20:16:53.572-05:00I really like baking, and not just because it'...I really like baking, and not just because it's an excuse to eat cookie dough. But I don't find cooking all that interesting, and because of some health issues I have to eat a pretty bland diet most of the time. I save my indulgences for restaurants, and let someone else do all the complicated cooking.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-78488413713199031312015-10-04T20:47:04.674-05:002015-10-04T20:47:04.674-05:00So I never cook if I can help it, and recipe books...So I never cook if I can help it, and recipe books are almost completely waste don her, AND YET this Netflix movie sounds really interesting.

But then that's different from something like Zola's scenes, in a city setting. I read a book about food adulteration in the 19th & early 20th centuries that made me wonder how anyone survived eating city meat or milk.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-63799574295023719632015-10-04T19:21:37.977-05:002015-10-04T19:21:37.977-05:00I remember reading in one of your reviews that you...I remember reading in one of your reviews that you had a hard time with the meat-based recipes as well. I am seeing a lot about "nose to tail" cooking - using the different parts - and I usually have to skim those articles.

That's something that bugged me in My Life in France too. I also love the term 'socially carnivorous'! I've recently decided to reduce my meat consumption and like the idea of only eating it while out with friends.
