Huh. Never seen that so concisely and clearly put.
Of course a shark needs more than just meat. That’s where the seeded rye and mustard come in. And a dill pickle. Gotta have a pickle. And don’t forget some cole slaw and a Cel-Ray. Or perhaps and egg cream. The sharks will be begging for more.
If that’s how you feel about honest attempts to answer your questions, I’ll remember that before answering your questions in the future.
Of course not; they’d suffocate waiting in line for their sandwich. Even so, would they eat the pickle, too?
Wait, it was friendly!!!
I posted it that way because God knows my posts/mind/questions are confused to begin with, and by editing my rough draft within the time window, I tried to clear away another part of intellect-query backstory, which even I thought was either too stupid in context of more important question, or side-tracking, or just simply wrong-- all of which I decided was in my (now)-infamous and unrecorded Point 2).
That’s all…
I wouldn’t have posted snark in response to you.
ETA: to Qadgop #23 above.
A planet made entirely of pastrami?
But deep beneath the sea of the Planet of the Zwilniks, Qadgop the Mercotan records and remembers . . .
Very well. I will perchance ponder your future queries. IF it so amuses me.
KNOCK KNOCK!
“Who’s there?”
“Salami Shark!”
“Oh, thank goodness, I only have pastrami. One moment …”
Duh Dum Duh Dum Duh Dum …
Seems to me the question is a matter of calculating the nutrients available in pastrami, and comparing them with the nutrients required for sharks. The former is easy to find, so we need someone to post about the latter.
To get that started, I will posit that a shark probably has the same nutritional requirements that we do except that they may make things within themselves that we don’t make, or not make things we do make. So perhaps looking at that would be useful.
For example, do they make Vitamin C? not a lot of that in Pastrami. But a lot of animals do, even though we don’t. If they don’t, either, then pastrami would not work.
That’s what the banana peppers are for.
See post #12. Have at it…
Whole thread has turned into a shark sandwich . . .
Openfaced Mako, when quoted uncited.
I was thinking of the album by Spinal Tap . . .
Silent But Deadly would also fit…
Openfaced Mako (Hammerhead, 1980): Bootleg album. Outtakes from Shark Sandwich sessions, including studio banter. Includes never-released XXX version of “Sex Farm.”
Also standard offering on Trinidad. Article and sample recipe: The Best Shark Sandwich in Trinidad
For my grad school work, I studied salmon food chains in the open ocean. There’s a species of shark called - the Salmon Shark - whose diet for large amounts of time is, you guessed it, salmon. These salmon (large adult salmon - the sharks follow the returning runs) feed mainly on squid, and the squid feed mainly on crustaceans - krill and copepods - and finally those crustaceans feed on phytoplankton.
So the Salmon Sharks are 3 jumps from plants, so not a lot of direct “pre-digested” plant consumption going on. They eat the whole salmon of course. While I don’t know their nutrient requirements, if nothing else, they get a good dose of carotenoids that way.
Username–grad school suggests this topic is your bread and butter.
Gotta get me that version of “Sex Farm”!!
Locate a copy for me and I’ll even think of you in terms of Leopold instead of Leo.
