Trust me, it can't be worse than a Chinese potluck. I've been to a few and I've had to eat sea cucumber, various pig parts(ear etc.), beef tendons... and that's only the last time I've been to one

So far, I've only had a chance to taste "delectable" sea cuccumber in chinese fine-dine restaurants.

I don't particularly like them that much but their just ok.

The pig parts are absolutely delicious! They're crunchy (cholesterol-high; which is usually true of the "best tasting" parts).

Beef tendons are ok but rather considered a luxury at a restaurant. They're a bit hard to get.

Back on the topic of cannibalism, me and my college friends once watched the movie about that latin american team who survived a plane crash in some snow-capped mountains and had to eat their dead after it was agreed by all of them in case people die. We joked around after the movie about what we'd do. Several of us said we'd like to eat our muslim classmate whoe was there with us since she's not a pork-eater and that she's more healthy. She laughed at the idea and took it as a compliment.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I could seriously go for some Sam flesh right now. You are right, you won't know how it tastes until you try it, so might as well dig in.

I also read a book about the disaster of the whale ship, Essex. The ship was way out in the Pacific, and all the crew members were in those little whale boats chasing this humongous old sperm whale. Well, the whale turns and rams the ship, sinking it. The guys in the lifeboats had to get back to land thousands of miles away, and some starved on the way and the others ate them to stay alive, like the plane crash.

Revolting as it seems, "ya gotta do what ya gotta do."

I heard hobbits taste like chicken anyway.

I dont think Frodo would eat Sam or vice versa. I mean think about it. With all the tramping they would be about as tender as beef jerkey . But Sam's too good to be eaten and Frodo is too...too...too...good to be eaten. Actually I'm SURE that if Tolkien didn't provied Gollum Sam would have forced the Ring from Frodo and jumped into the Cracks of Doom to fufill the quest and to free his master. I honestly think that Tolkien had that in mind before he decided this equation. Gollum+Ringlust+Cracks of Doom=SAM'S SAVED!!!! YEEEEHHHHAAAAA!!!!
Sam
ps. Dont touch my buttons! They're real brass! And I am NOT a rabbit! You know I'm gonna get outta here before said phsyco over there*points to Twilight*decides to take a bite.
ADIOUS!

That comment wasn't directed at you Samwise. It was meant to create outrage with my little brother. I am surprised he hasn't commented on it yet.

I like your cat.

I like cats in general, they taste like chicken!



























Just kidding about the eating cats thing.....

Eat Sam?! Never! I'd let him lay there and rest and keep going, see if I could find food...Maybe I'd find an orc and he could eat that...

If it were up to Frodo, he wouldn't eat his loyal companion, he'd die first. But me, hmmm. Let me think. I'd eat the hobbit, but I've always been intrested in cannibalism. But ONLY ONLY ONLY if it were necessary.

AAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!




Eat my bestest buddy (who, I might add, was very hungry also, and had plenty of chances to eat me! And yet I have no bites out of me.....) ? NEVER!!!!!!! Death First!!!!!

I agree with Faramir: I would let Sam rest, and drag myself along the path to find some ork or whatnot, rather than that!

*sniff sniff* How could you even think of such a thing?










Actually, Menelvagor, I'd be more afraid of BoP coming across poor, poor, Frodo......

Goodie! Can I have some cartillage? They're a good source of protein but a bit expensive where I come from. Mmmmm.

I'll trade you 4 pairs of pants for them.
