Yuck. I cooked an Iranian once. Pan-seared him then put him on a slow braise. Basted him in his own juices, then served him thin-sliced with a wine reduction sauce and a little grated parmesan on top. Tasted like shit. From now on I’m sticking to Chinese. ---

If this is true it’s clear a _Stealth Fork_ gap has begun and we simply can’t allow that to continue. ---

Well there’s your problem, you gotta slice 'em up and fry 'em like catfish. A couple dashes of hot sauce, a couple dashes of either cider or malt vinegar and wash 'em down with a nice cold lager.
