JELLY FISH

Scientists and biologists are now studying the effect that growing Jellyfish populations in the oceans have on a possible 'global' effect on the oceans. The theory based on observations has led to some interesting conjectures and conclusions that will need, as can be guessed, more research. HOWEVER, did you know that you can eat Jelly Fish? I have eaten them. They can also be picked live by hand if you know the method, but be cautious if you don't, as they do 'sting'. It is quite a trick to tread on the shores where jelly fish are washing up. One early cold 'spring' day,years ago, I was walking on the shores of a Connecticut beach and was amazed at the many 'corpses' of jellyfish washed up on the rocks and sands there.

CAMEL'S MILK

Soon, if all goes well, the importation of CAMEL'S MILK into the US from the NEAR EAST, namely , DUBAI, will begin. Camel's milk is nutritious, low in calories, has good properties for those who might be diabetic, and perhaps other benefits. The thought of drinking camel's milk may appear unappetizing to those reared on Cow's milk(sacred or otherwise) but remember that nowadays SOY MILK and products are found in US supermarkets and some of us like goat's milk. A rare few of us may well know that SHEEP'S MILK is the prime ingredient in the best PROVALONE (spelling?) CHEESE. For those familiar with cheeses and milk in the Philippines, the milk of the KALABAW, or CARABAO, is often used. I have eaten Carabao cheese and like it. I have also eaten sheep's milk cheese and, of course, goat's cheese. I am sure that there are other animal species whose milk is utilized in human diets from time to time. BON APPETIT!
