i agree, our son on the other hand won't eat a lot of things , i still think hes a changling i was raised to eat what was put on the table and my momma was a good cook

Sounds like my SIL and my daughter's 3 children. My son's adopted (Chinese) children will eat/try anything. Most people today have never had to 'do without'. Eat what's there or go hungry - note I said 'most'. If you are seriously hungry, you will eat what is offered. We may be entering a phase of relearning that plain and simple fact. Mom always said, "Waste not, want not."

everybody,
after hunting for about an hour on the net, i found out what that tree is, it wasn't native until the 50's, when they imported it for oil for machinery, from china, its a tungoil tree so even if i manage to start one, don't think i will too bad, it has beautiful blooms

my daddy always said, if i put it on my plate, i had to eat it but if i didn't want it i didn't put it on my plate and didn't have to eat it, i ate most everything well, one thing i just couldn't like daddy loved squirrel fried brains , nope, nope, heck nope

Deal was when I was growing up that if you shot it, you ate it. Never shot another raccoon. Just now realized that rule did not apply to trapped animals? Guess because at least the pelt was utilized. Bottom line was respect life, but utilize what was needed.

I sold freshly caught muskrats to a local fur handler. He paid as much for the meat as he did for the pelts.
