Greetings, Canucks! I come in peace…with meat.

April 29th, 2008 by Scott

Just this past weekend, I appeared on Canadian national public radio (the glorious CBC), on a wonderful show called “Definitely Not the Opera” with host Sook-yin Lee. As you might imagine, if they’re having yours truly in the studio, opera is about the farthest topic from the table. We were talking about meat, naturally — in fact, the entire show’s focus was on the subject, which pleased me to no end. I’m right at the top of the hour, too. Score! Also, this being public radio, we focused on the more philosophical angles of the book, which I have to say sometimes seem to be lost on certain critics and reviewers (much too easy to focus on my adventures at the Testicle Festival or that open letter to PETA).

All in all, it was a lot of fun, and it makes me want to visit Canada this summer for a little poutine. You can check out the interview below…she even got me to sing! On air! Unaccompanied! Now that’s a host.

   I have to be careful reading your stuff. I’m having trouble putting down your Shameless Carnivore. It has a tendency to stimulate gastronomic ideation :)

   Well done – I like your writing style.

   Speaking of poutine – I lived in Ottawa for several years and it was one of my favorites. Has there ever been a finer marriage of fries, gravy, granulated cheese, vinegar and ketchup? I haven’t found it in any other city…
