My favorite kebab place is Halal (Muslim regulations) but, tho similar,
it seems to differ from Kosher in that shrimps are in.

I actually met the professor at the U of NC who developed the
multipurpose chicken some years ago. As it grows, it first becomes
suitable for Cornish game hens, then grows into a small roaster, then
further into an egg layer. My Japanese assistant was much amused by the
thought of a "Chicken Professor" and she talked about him for months
afterwards. Actually, Chisuko was, and probably still is, a bit
iconoclastic. Here is is her view of the Cherry Blossom festival; an
unconscious haiku.
The *men* sit under the cherry trees
And get very drunk.
