Jeeze! Sounds like we're all pregnant or sumpthin'! Fair food? EMU! You read it right! EMU meat at one of our Strawberry Fairs here in my neck of the woods! Now folks, I'm considered right adventuresome by some and downright crazy by most, but I have yet to get in line at the Emu stand! This from a woman who thinks nothing of eating rattlesnake meat, squirrel, ramps, wild mushrooms what have you. Guess I'll have to buck up my courage next year and give it a try.

Oh yes, we Cherokees make a bread called Cherokee Bean Bread that, when made right, is just out-of-this world.
