Farming/Agriculture On Stamps

KGV,

i'll make you a deal.if I ever make it to Australia i'll try the grub but,if you are ever in Alabama you have got to try possum.i'll even cook it on an open fire

edit to add : dont worry I will let you wash it down with some home made muscadine wine

deal?

T.J.

That would add a special meaning to an SCF BBQ
where we need bring a plate of food to share.
I am sure some will stick to pop corn.

Argentinian sheep stamps with departmental overprints.

T.J. I shot a hundred woodchucks/groundhogs but never ate one..the migrant workers that came to pick apples would take them..i have had raccoon and tasted muskrat..no possum yet I guess you would get that with yams and cinnamon butter !!

I had Gibnut in Belize which was pretty lovely.
It is featured in a stamp too.

I've eaten groundhog (like bear, it's a little oily for my tastes) and raccoon (good but needs lots of black pepper), but never possum.

And being a country boy, I have of course, also eaten deer, elk, moose, squirrel, quail, grouse, pheasant, etc.

It's all good with gravy

You guys are fairly disgusting,

but you cannot beat Cronus, Rhea's husband,
He ate all his children,
Cronus was able to chow down on Demeter, Hades, Hera, Hestia and
Poseidon as soon as they were born.

Rhea was albeit a bit slow, but she cottoned on,
and when Cronus tried to eat Zeus, Rhea included
a rock in swaddling, so Cronus vomited up the kids.

rod222,

i never said I would eat the possum.i just told KGV I would roast one for him. but the secret to possum is you have to catch one,pen it up for a month and feed it corn,corn bread and milk to "clean" it up before making it a meal.

as far as disgusting - I didn't even mention "mountain oysters",head cheese,or chitlins but I will eat every frog leg you put in front of me

also to get this back on topic - I think I have figured out a way my Norse mythology could fit into my farming topic

Thor the thunder god was also considered the god of farming

hows that for some abstract thinking?

T.J.

I had a chance to eat a plate of rocky mountain oysters at Billy Bobs Texas...but I decided against !!

My dad was an oyster farmer. As a child I remember one year when the bottom dropped out of the oyster market through a food poisoning scare and you couldn't give them away. That year we ate oysters for months. Haven't touched one since.

I've also eaten rabbit, Kangaroo, Emu and goat.

Some more Aussie farming stamps.




Hi! peterethio
I was an oyster farmer before my accident. Where did your dad farm oysters. KGV

Get some Vegetables into ya!





...and some verbal soup from our Tony....


There was another delightful food-oriented slogan illustrated in the
excellent newsletter from the UK dealers Murray Payne: 'WHEN DID YOU
LAST HAVE delicious BEETROOT?'. Apparently it was withdrawn after only
2 days because Churchill hated beetroot. The newsletter says that
Churchill named the operation to liberate Burma Operation Beetroot
because he knew it would be 'bloody and quite horrible'.

rod222,

okay on the subject of vegetables : I wonder what the chances are of finding a stamp that has okra on it? maybe a stamp from Africa? I believe that is where it came from or it could have come from Egypt not sure.

how many people out there have tried it? alot of people hate it but it is one of my favorite vegetables.
