No, I would not. Especially since she's also mentioned she cooks all
the meat she buys when she gets it home from the store. So she
pre-cooks her own meat if she doesn't buy it that way.
Sounds pretty disgusting to me.

She has mentioned seafood. In the Christmas thread she said something
about having made a garlicky shrimp pasta. But it affects her husband's
gout so shrimp/seafood is out.

I seriously doubt she's eaten much (if any) game meats. Somehow I don't
see cooking lamb as part of her repertoire, either. Hmmm, she could
probably make some Mexican-style lamb. Goat might be more traditional,
though.
