Subject: Re: dryland fish



Besides mountain/prairie oysters, there's also Albany sturgeon (dried beef),

Block Island turkey (salted codfish), and the ever-popular Welsh rabbit. And

no doubt others involving the same logic (as dryland fish). One of my

favorites, though it may be seen as a bit of an ethnoslur (and we don't want

to rekindle THAT thread, do we?) is "Irish tan", which according to one of my

students, = 'sunburn'. So it's not just for luncheon treats anymore...
