I certainly like pork and cooking it. But cooking penguin, no, I don't believe in that. I don't mind cooking birds like turkey and chicken, but not penguin.

Penguin Books once received a letter from Antarctica complaining that the Penguin Cookery Book contained no recipes for cooking penguin. The complainants,members of the British Antarctic Survey therefore provided one.

I hear that they taste like chicken (that's what they seem to say in the U.S. about any unusual meat--rattlesnake, turtle . . . .). haha

You were much too serious in your post above. It took me a second to realize that you were being facetious. hahah You were being facetious, weren't you?

Well, people who've been to Iceland and tasted the local delicacy (well, one of them, at any rate), the puffin (which is also the national bird), can tell you that it actually tastes like fish, so penguins are probably pretty similar.

This book has 6 reviews at Amazon. Six reviews is too little to get a real accurate idea of how good or bad a book is. When the number of reviews is small, I like to go to the author's page at Amazon and find out how many books that the author has written, that are at Amazon, and how highly rated those books are. People are generally consistent, and I feel that what they have done in the past is a pretty good predictor of what they will do in the future. Well, the author of this book, Brooke Dojny, has written many cookbooks and they are all generally very highly rated. Based upon that and other things, I think that this is probably a very good cookbook.

Vocational Education of Female Entrepreneurs in China: A multitheoretical and multidimensional analysis of successful businesswomen's everyday lives (Routledge ... in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education). By Mary Ann Maslak. Not rated yet (it has just been published). Print list price $145.00; Kindle price now $0.00. Routledge, publisher. 120 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Vocational-Edu...t+Education%29.

Book Description
This book examines the ways in which formal and non-formal education can contribute to mature and possibly illiterate women’s successful design, development and operation of small businesses in rural settings. Calling on varied yet pertinent social theories, and the exceptional introduction to and study of profitable businesses operated by Dongxiang Muslim women in the southern Gansu province of north-western China, the author explains the multifaceted formula for women's challenges and successes in their business endeavours and goal for financial security, and argues that informal learning is the most important type of education to employ knowledge and skills to earn a living in general, and design and operate small businesses by women in rural areas in particular. The book concludes with an original, timely and necessary model for education that could be utilized by the women in this work; one that positions informal education as the primary conduit for successful entrepreneurial work and combines elements of both formal and non-formal educational principles and practices, thus offering support for the successful operation of women's businesses.

This does not sound that appetizing to me.
