What fork do you use for scorpion?

Edible, adj.: Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
- Ambrose Bierce

Dogs seem to regard all that they encounter as one of only two things: edible or inedible. People, however, have greater discrimation and a broader spectrum of choice (except perhaps for the British- great country, great people, but awful food- like we slurpie-sucking cheeze-whizzing Americans have anything to crow about). Yet look at the things we actually choose to eat! There are TV shows chronicling the disgusting things we're willing to eat, and businesses selling such wares are thriving. (Check out edible in London) There's an old saying that one man's meat is another man's poison, but now one man's poison is another man's meat. When did mealtime become truth or dare?
