Ahhhh so the lungs in Hannibal were actual pork lungs, I'd convinced myself that at least those had been fake. (WARNING: really gross picture.) I don't get grossed out at stuff on tv easy (real life is another cup of tea), but the lungs were particularly disturbing for me.

It doesn't help that I'm a pretty picky eater - the only organ I'm comfortable eating is tongue and only beef tongue, and probably only because I've been eating it sort of since birth, while my parents never pushed me to have the also popular intestine (tripita) or brains (sesos) tacos. I don't even like lamb, and even less goat. my grandad, though, has been known to eat all kinds of seafood, little random birds and other game, and he even once cooked rabbit in my house while I held my pet bunny close and covered his eyes and went 'shush baby, don't look, don't look'.

So like, even if everything wasn't people (SPOILER: EVERYTHING IS PEOPLE) I would still stay that oh no I'd left the oven on at home and run away from Hannibal's table of people and go eat my sorrows at a mcdonalds. A burger king, maybe, if I was feeling especially classy.

Anyway, roundabout way to say YOU ALL HAVE TO START WATCHING HANNIBAL AND YOU ALL HAVE TO START WATCHING IT IN HULU BECAUSE IF IT'S CANCELLED I SHALL CRY. It is creepy and beautiful and darkly funny and dreamy and made of nightmares and happiness and people. Mostly people.

Also, if anyone knows where I can get those earrings the opera singer was wearing in Sorbet please to be telling me right now because I need them like yesterday.

So many people don't like lamb (that's okay, more for me!) My dad grew up in Scotland and Zimbabwe, then lived in Darwin, so he's one of those people who's eaten *everything*, and loves organ meat of all kinds. We used to play a game of "has Dad ever eaten it?" and the answer (apart from carnivorous animals) was usually yes. Including grubs, various insects, elephant, zebra... My brother's wife is Chinese, so she and my dad happily talk about all the animal parts they've eaten and think the rest of us are terribly squeamish.

I wonder if zebra would taste at all like horse? like, seeing the recent scandals, I'm pretty sure most of us have had horse at some point without knowing o_o the thing that makes me super squamish is chicken feet - my grandma loves gnawing on them as if they were corn on the cob, I always have to look away!

Your dad's life sounds super interesting. :)

I was once having lunch with my already mentioned grandad and a neighbor came round to give him a bit of this weird grub casserole she'd made because he's the only other person she knew would have them. SO GROSS. Thankfully I'd finished eating already.

Now that I think about it, does tongue even count as an organ? or is it like, a muscle or something?
