I’m not going to fall into the trap of taking satire seriously enough to correct misapprehensions. 1 But that’s a tiny snippet from a very entertaining piece on The Economist’s Europe View. It explains menu items such as Cutlet Carpathian Style 2 and other gems. What I want to know is, could we do the same for traditional, neglected and underutilised species?
- Actually, I am; indigestible is a good thing, if by that you mean a lower glycemic index, which confers all manner of health benefits. And organic needn’t cost more, especially if externalities are properly internalised.
- You’re halfway through eating it when the Ukrainians take it away and say the rest belongs to them.
