You got me there. I know you're right about offal. but count me among the squeamish. In my defense, I was a vegetarian for 10 years. But I've always found tripe in the supermarket especially peculiar-looking: it's the one with all the holes, eh? Jessica-- Welcome, and thanks. Looks like Wrick caught my stupen-ness. ;-) We're all malapropping today, eh? Wrick,

That doesn't mean they can't feel sick, does it? Speaking of food though, I'm often bemused by Australian country peoples' aversion to eating offal. I get great bargains in meat, by buying things like liver, beef cheeks (indistinguishable from the best stewing steak in a stew, and only costing a couple of dollars a kilo), ox tongue, etc. etc. As a backpacker in Peru I have eaten sheep's intestines (grilled) at streetside stalls, much to the revulsion of the American touristt I was 'guiding', and my old girlfriend Gai who grew up in the country, slaughtering and skinning sheep with nothing more than her teeth and a pocket knife, barfs, whenever I tell her how we loved it when my mother cooked tripe (boiled up lining of a sheep's stomach, served with white sauce and onions ... ). Zombies could survive quite well, I suspect, by just scavenging around the back of butchers' shops. Okay, they’re dead. That doesn’t mean they can’t feel sick, does it?
