Top five countries for unusual meats By Lisa M. Keefe on 5/22/2009 With more fresh meats going international, it's worth taking a moment to consider the list compiled by the European flight search engine SkyScanner: the top five countries for carnivores. It's actually a list of countries with interesting protein options among their national cuisines, so perhaps it's more of a list for omnivores than carnivores. So,in apparently no particular order, here is SkyScanner's list and commentary: U.S. (Florida) — Alligator. You can tuck into an alligator steak at various restaurants in Florida. Alligator meat is said to be low in fat compared to beef or lamb, and it has a fine, light-grained texture comparable to pork or chicken. China — Snake. The variety of animals that the Chinese eat seems to encompass every living creature that roams the earth, air and sea, including snake-on-a-stick that can be bought from street vendors in cities like Beijing, alongside scorpion-on-a-stick and seahorse-on-a-stick. Slovenia — Horse burger. Horse is commonly consumed in many European, South American and Asian nations. In Slovenia, horse meat is readily available from supermarkets and restaurants. The renowned Red Hot-Horse take-away joint in capital Ljubljana offers a tasty horse burger for just three euros. Japan — Kobe beef. Kobe cattle are well cared-for; their diet includes beer and they are regularly massaged by hand, which produces a succulent, mouth-wateringly marbled meat. This tender loving care doesn't come cheap though; at more than $315 per pound, Kobe beef is the most expensive in the world. South Korea — Dog. Boshintang (dog stew) is a traditional Korean dish eaten by older Korean men who believe the meat enhances sexual stamina and virility. Scotland — Haggis. (A sausage made of sheep's heart, liver and lungs, combined with seasonings.) In addition to haggis, Scotland is famed for its wild venison and Aberdeen Angus beef. In addition to the five countries for carnivores, SkyScanner also listed its top five countries for vegetarians as: India, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Turkey and Israel. .

Not only does it save money by allowing you to buy a whole bird instead of already prepared pieces, but you’ll have the carcass at the very end of it for some stellar soup. STEP 1 Buy the bird. Free- range birds should always be a little bigger— they’ve grown for longer and you’ll get much more flavor from them. The skin should be intact and fairly dry, and the breast and leg of equal ratio.

If all carbon atoms are joined by single chemical bonds, the acids are called saturated acids. If one or more double bonds occur on the chain of carbon atoms, the acid is unsat urated, has a lower melting point, and is more oily. Thus, unsaturated acids with double bonds become "saturated" with hydrogen into single bonds when hydrogen atoms are added to them in the normal Amount of fat metabolism of the animal. Animal fat contains a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids than does most fat from plant sources. As and Cholesterol illustrated in table 1, however, animal fats are not all saturated and the proportion of saturated fat to unsatu rated fat varies with the animal.
