Well, I would have thought that no one could possibly convince me to eat penguin, but that recipe would tempt the most nauseated palate.
One question. Do you have to use a puffy penguin? Because I’m trying to lose some weight and I think a slimmer penguin might work better for me.
And then, it seems so wasteful. Do you have any ideas for the remainder of the penguin?

I’ll have to invite myself over for dinner when you make this next time. Can I bring my Leopard Seal along too? We both like penguinsies!

Well, I had some leftover penguin in the fridge that I didn’t know what to do with, so thanks for posting this

Sorry for the silence on my end, folks. We’ve been away for a few days.
I’m delighted that the recipe is appealing. Don’t neglect to include the 1/4 teaspoon of Bud Ice. It is essential.
Janet, it is my understanding that the remainder of the penguin, consisting of mostly fat, can be melted down and used to grease the pan for the omelette. You can also drink it.
Fabulous picture, yes?

It’s not that I’m speechless, it’s just that I’m having a hard time swallowing.

That’s a normal part of it.

BTW, when I stop commenting in a couple of weeks, it won’t be because I am no longer charmed by your posts, but because I will be offline for Lent.

When I stop responding to comments, in a week or so, it will be because I’ve completed this Antarctica blogging project and have collapsed from fatigue (and cold).
Not really, of course. Writing a new post for each day has been challenging, but I’ve been enjoying it. I do think, though, that I’ll take a little break when the month is over.
