Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in a message to All:
DM> A kindly Universities gifted me with a tad over
DM> 3lbs of milk 3.2%, rump I'm guessing. Now I am
DM> waiting recommendations on how to cook it.
DM> So, if You were to cook it...what would You do?
First, I wondered why Denis was measuring milk in pounds & why...
since he seems to be reasonably knowledgeable about cooking... he'd be asking
how to cook milk without saying how he was planning to use it.
Second, I read the kludge lines. I saw that Denis was apparently
practising English by rewording a message from another echo.
Third, I consulted the source & saw that the original enquiry was
about moose meat. That would explain the use of the word "rump".
If Denis wants to know how to cook moose meat, that's a different
question. There are deer in Eurasia which some authorities consider to be of
the same species. But unless I hear he has been offered meat he doesn't know
what to do with I'll regard this data as solely of academic interest.... :-Q
