Is the Diamataceous earth your recomending the same that is used to put into the filter system of the swimming pool?....Maby 10 years back I was taking care of a rental house for a neighbor and someone brought in bed bugs that spread like a wild fire never ever seen something like this just how fast it happens, and if you ever have seen bedbugs work it kinda reminds you of how an army of ants work. They lay feces all over the corners of a mattress or sofa and when you try to sweep or pick one up they isntantly pop with the blood of the people they bite leaving anything they occupy useless and trash ridden. They come out at night and were ever you lay down they will follow you by smelling I believe is the carbon dioxide we breath out. Im sorry now the point im asking is after I saw the pest control comp spray then they put down a powder claiming that bud bugs dont have pores in their body and the powder is for them to breath in through their snout, is this the Diamataceous earth Trendkilla.

It sounds like it. It's such a fine powder it gets in all their joints, in their digestive system, they breathe it in. but it doesn't to anything to mammals. I'm not sure about the pool thing though because it's not nearly as effective when it is wet.

It helps the filter catch the algae

Since I live out in the country I have tried/eaten many different critters. Rattlesnake, woodchuck, eel, bear, elk, moose, just about all game, waterfowl and game birds. A fair amount of insects also. I pretty much will try anything once but I usually steer clear of raw fish/meat. Getting gurgly belly is no fun :barf:
I get a bit wary around any animal that is over 200 pounds because if they have a bad moment you just might have a very bad day!!

Hahaha so true just like a saying if you poke something with a stick they'll poke back

Houses full of barely maintained animals are the worst. All the feces and urine all over the place, the stench can make a house practically uninhabitable.

You be surprised the wonders of olfactory fatigue. Stay in there long enough and you won't notice a thing. That's how they manage to live there and looks at you like your crazy when you say their house reeks.

I've heard you need to take it easy with beaver as it is so fatty, eating too much will quickly lead to an upset stomach.

Bear apparently gives you nightmares, but I can't confirm that one.

I like that idea, there is a bunch of different meats I'd love to try!

Seconded, but I think I'm just generally hungry at the moment...

diachi, I definitely believe that, pork gives me nightmares or at least some doozys of a dream. I love any type of seafood and feel bad for people who are allergic to it. Calamari, octopus, big belly clams, ive never tried sushi but with the right dip maby.
Has anyone ever had dinner with a Greek family on Easter? The boiled goats head and goats intestine soup. Ive eaten tongue as a child but never again. They bring the boiled skinless head out on a plate with maby some parsely around it. "its looks fricken scary with all the teeth showing and it didnt help when my aunt used to chase me around the house with it as a child" The elders eat the brain and you always get an old timer that plops an eye out with a fork and eats it. The whole house smells god awful when cooking on Easter holidays. This isnt a surprise I realize for people who live off the land but I grew up in the city. I do enjoy the soup though because I was brought up on it, but wouldnt try it if it was just introduced to it:thinking:
Trendkilla Trustmonkey, thx that makes sense.....Greece did a good thing by really policeing the way Gyro,s are made, trust me like I had said before

The nightmares have less to do with the fact that you're eating some kind of meat, and more with the fact that you're probably experiencing mild intestinal discomfort. Your gut bacteria just aren't used to digesting new things. For me any very spicy foods, or indian foods, tend to equate an unpleasant night. If I do eat something spicy, as of late I tend to follow it up with a small amount of pepto.

Never tried eyes, I think, but I do actually quite enjoy beef tongue. Didn't even really think of it as an exotic food :thinking: People who do live off the land, it's just that they literally don't want to waste anything.

I've tried snake, deer and rabbit. I can't really think of anything odd, some people say crawdads (mudbugs) are odd, I don't think so at all though. Raw Oysters taste and feel like a loogie (snot ball of spit). I've caught and eaten a shark, it wasn't great, I'll stick with fried catfish.

IE. I can see that, maby digesting a fattier meat like pork and im guilty of not trimming of alot of it can cause excessive strain on the system. I dont know how fatty bear meat is though but im sure its confusing to the system. Those survivalist that live of the land sure do seem to know what part of the carcass has the best protein or best healthy fat source and know to a tee how much is needed daily. The thing that grossed me out with tongue was its taste buds and too chewy. Years ago I had read an article that Greeks were the fatest people on average. Alot had to do with the starvation during WW2 and they associate health with food. "Just food for thought"....Trend I think I will pass on the raw oysters

Original subject sure has been derailed but I will ride this train, better than grubby people/houses!!
IMHO, crawdads, snake, rabbit, grouse, deer, squirrels, almost all fish, clams/oysters are great. Tongue, heart and liver are okay, it is mainly the texture that is not very good. To bypass that I usually use it in a sandwich or stew.
That story about the goat head is hilarious!!

Tongue really shouldn't be chewy if properly cooked... which takes freaking FOREVER. Seriously if it's being boiled let's say, figure on 2-3 hours. I personally also prefer mine sliced, so the actual taste bud area is very little of the relative surface size. I can see how it would be odd though.

It's interesting, from a social standpoint, how different people actually look. I mean up to say 1850 or so, a person being heavyset was still an indicator of well being. Now just the opposite is very true. Pretty sure mexicans are now the fattest people.

^^1850 I sure would not want them to step on my toe!!

:crackup: 1850's...

Made me wonder how fat the fattest person ever was. Apparently 960lb.

Jokes on me, you meant the date/year 1850
I thought you meant weight which I knew that the most was somewhere around 970 pounds

True, in years past, if you were plump it meant you had the money to spend on extra food so it was a sign of being wealthy.
