    We do like a good desert. Next time you are sampling some you will have to take some pictures to share with the forum members :);)

    They have inappropriately culturally appropriated a Native American name and displayed a stereotypically offensive depiction of a Native American.
    I'm sure the will be removing the signage and changing their name to something less offensive shortly, unless, of course, they are of Native American Heritage, in which case, all is forgiven. Perhaps they are related to Elizabeth Warren.
    Good thing you parked a Triumph in front of the establishment and not an Indian Scout.

    Never gave that a thought, but you are likely correct, unless they are native “Shawnee”

    Not sure what to make of a canning company with a picture of a horse on their logo…

    @Vulpes won’t approve :):joy:

    Have you (knowingly) tasted it? I have when in France a few years back, perfectly nice meat as I recall... funny how our preconceptions put certain foods into honour categories... would I eat rat, maybe... would think twice about bat though... :p

    Do you know what kinds of food this company actually cans, @Ge-Minigun? I wasn't wondering initially but with all the chatter about the name of the company and just what might be in those cans, my curiosity has been piqued.

    Cheval was always on our BBQ when we went to France. I had Kangaroo on the barby in Oz and ate Impala in Kenya before we’d even been out to see them on safari. We used to have a farm shop near us that sold all sorts of exotic meats like crocodile on occasion.
    Sorry, slight derailment there, back on yer ed.

    Never had horsemeat... that I know of. I eat a lot of game meat. I used to hunt, but have gotten lazy. It's just easier to buy a steak. My buds that still do hunt keep me stocked, mostly venison, and occasionally elk and moose. I have had squirrel (at a BBQ). It was on a stick and looked a lot like a rat, which is understandable, as it is basically a tree-dwelling, bushy-tailed rat. It tasted like chic...no, actually it didn't, and I wouldn't recommend it, unless you have plenty of beer to wash it down and an ample supply of BBQ sauce.

    The next town over from us to the northeast is Medford, NJ. They had their annual Dickens Christmas Festival tonight. Parade, crafts, food, music AND Santa! I took a ride over to see my wife, Lori, at her booth and my middle daughter, Faye, who volunteered to assist. All of Lori's stuff is hand made. She was having a great night $$.

    I haven't broken out my winter riding gear yet. Should have. It's only about twelve miles, but at 35 degrees it was a damned chilly ride. Glad I rode, though. There was a THRONG of people! Parking was at a premium, which is why I took the bike. Always a nook or cranny to squeeze a motorcycle into.

    They shut down the main street (named Main Street, oddly enough) and it's lined with all the various booths.

    Line to see Santa. I hate waiting in lines, but it was worth it. He promised he'd bring me the upgraded, quilted, Speedmaster seat!

    Got me a sausage, pepper and onion sandwich (A Philly/South Jersey staple - second only to the iconic, Philly cheese steak sandwich in popularity) -
    'Twas AWESOME!

    Just put the bike up. A couple bourbon old fashioneds and a hot shower coming up. I'm sure the feeling in my fingers and toes will be back by morning.

    Nice one @Fork Lock ... the town where I live is famous for its Dickensian festival (affectionately known locally as DickFest). This year is the first in ages (apart from Covid cancellation) that my wife and I didn’t go... so I’ve no photos of my own to put up... but these are the type of folk who attend, parade and make it feel special.
