		<description>I went to Scotland in 1985ish.  I was surprised by how beautiful Edinburgh is.  We didn&#039;t have the internet back then, so I had no idea what it looked like.  It&#039;s a great European capital city built on a site with spectacular topography and filled with incredible architecture.</description>

		<description>In point of fact, the ortolan that migrate north and west to France are indeed threatened in that region of Europe, though not globally, and that&#039;s entirely attributable to French culinary preferences. It&#039;s also why the E.U. issued a directive protecting them and why France, the US, and others have outlawed their consumption. These laws aren&#039;t just inexplicably Francophobic - they&#039;re based on ornithological studies. Most ortolan offered on French menus are trapped in these areas. I&#039;d guess you could go nuts in, say, Morocco, and eat all the deep fried buntings your seared mouth desires, but why would you? Moroccan food is awesome.

And not to be pedantic, but wikipedia entries should rarely, if ever, be sourced as a basis for a point of view or argument. At the very least, go that extra link or two and examine their reference sections. The article I cited from the Associated Press is pretty accurate, and is buttressed by reporting from NPR, the Telegraph, and others. In fact, these reports are what the wikipedia page you linked to are based on. 

Sure, taste in food is subjective and regional, but still, not everything that can be eaten should be eaten. I&#039;ve read - and agree with, on an intellectual level - arguments for a future insect-heavy diet as a source of abundant protein on a planet going to 10 billion+, but I&#039;ll leave the ants, beetles, and such to southern Mexicans, some Asian cultures, and Baloo from The Jungle Book, little britches. 

I&#039;d only add that the cultural relativism that excuses the behavior of certain groups of people is an outdated notion that leads to things like exceptions for native tribes to continue unsustainable whaling traditions, or, say, the Taliban. The rules that govern human behavior have changed for almost all societies all over the world since the Chinese first got down with a plate of Fido. Slavery and uxoricide (killing one&#039;s wife - I had to look that up. Who knew?) are generally no longer tolerated, and those people who still engage in that behavior are universally shunned or outlawed (I&#039;m looking at you, northern Pakistan). Sure, it&#039;s basically a sentimental impulse to eschew dog and cat consumption, but it&#039;s also one based on a time-honored human norm of domestic cohabitation with dogs and cats. There&#039;s a reason most cultures revert to these food sources only in times of famine. 

But hey, what harm can a little African bush meat do, right? It&#039;s only disgusting from my myopic, xenophobic American point of view.</description>

		<description>The article you link to is a little bit misleading, but does contain some truth, in that this is a local poaching problem. Orlotan isn&#039;t a threatened species, described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortolan_Bunting as categorized  a species of &quot;least concern&quot;, meaning &quot;As such they do not qualify as threatened, Near Threatened, or (prior to 2001) Conservation Dependent.&quot; What France has is a near impossible to enforce hunting law. 

As for dog, cat, bugs, genitalia as food, I find nothing objectively wrong, but more like &quot;stuff Westerners usually find icky&quot;. </description>

		<description>Unless something&#039;s changed since this piece ran in 2007, the ortolan in France is threatened and that&#039;s why consumption there - and in here in the US - is illegal. They&#039;re simply eating them toward extinction. In &quot;Medium Raw,&quot; Anthony Bourdain makes a big to-do about his secret ortolan meal at an NYC restaurant run by another famous chef. Speaking as a fan, I found the whole scene to be disgusting - and I&#039;m an enthusiastically-lapsed pescatarian. Outside of bugs, genitalia, dogs, and cats, there&#039;s not much food I think of as inexcusably wrong, but eating a member of a threatened species is just wrong and stupid.

Oh, and jellyfish. Now that&#039;s just downright ookie.</description>

		<description>We&#039;ve only had it in Britain (England and Scotland).  But it&#039;s time to find a source on our side of &quot;the pond&quot;....so if I do, I&#039;ll let you know.

Edited to add: what I&#039;ve discovered so far is that Macsween is supposedly the best choice, but AFAIK isn&#039;t easily available in the States (international freight charges are not worth it).  There&#039;s also a brand-in-a-can available at Amazon: Stahly&#039;s.  Caledonia Kitchen supposedly has a canned version as well, but that doesn&#039;t seem to be available anywhere, not even at their own website.

The closest thing to what we&#039;ve had in Britain and yet available in the US seems to be:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scottishgourmetusa.com/product/vegetarian-haggis-for-sale/Robert-Burns-Dinner-or-burns-supper&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Scottish Gourmet Veggie Haggis In a Skin&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>I actually took a trip to scotland recently and the first thing I tried was haggis with a fine whiskey. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I was also surprised by Loch Ness, so not what I was expecting.

		<description>I am Scottish by ancestry, and I&#039;m all for tartan indoctrination camps for the wee bairns and giving a sgian-dubh for a baby shower gift, but I&#039;m not getting near a haggis.  The one time that I barely dodged a haggis bullet, I chose lamb&#039;s brains in peach sauce to avoid the bag of gut-flavored porridge.</description>

Smaw, neshy kynds is growen for human consumption, while lairger kynds is growen as feed for stock. Neeps is weel-likit in Europe, parteecular in caulder airts, sith they growe weel in cauld climates an can be keepit for mony months efter the hairst.

		<description>Vegetarian chili is legitimate chili.  The only required ingredient is chili peppers, and after that I&#039;d say onions, garlic, cumin, and maybe oregano.  Whether there&#039;s meat or beans or neither is style, not definition (as opposed to the &quot;vegetarian chili con carne&quot; that euansmith mentioned, which is an oxymoron.)

So where can you find a &quot;veggie haggis&quot; in the US?  It&#039;s not something I&#039;ve seen in the British food sections of the grocery (which have Marmite and various marmalades and such.)  I&#039;d expect it to be as far off-base as Tofurkey is.</description>
