I actually own a cookbook which instructs one in how to marinate a large
(dead) whole salmon in the tub.... somehow I never got around to that recipe.
Gefilte Fish is highly over-rated -- I tried for years to like it, to do
something anything to it to make it palatable. It's kind of like meat-loaf or
liver & onions.....everyone hates it but hey, it's tradition! You gotta
pretend to love it. Re. guinea pigs....there's something about them --
they're --
prickly sort of....sharp angles ......and they're not nice .....they
bite....they're just not....pet material (but of course I said that about mice
<sigh>). Elena (my daughter)'s parting shot last night as she was being
tucked in
was that she's decided she'd rather have a Kamodo dragon than a gerbil or
hamster or rat. I told her she better find a well-paying job.

No...go for the gold...gefilte...fish. In the bath until passover,
very tasty at the feast.
I'm referring, of course, to a children's book, the title of which I
forget, but the gist of which was that Ma kept carp in the bathtub
until they were needed to sate the appetites of reclining persons.
Why not guinea pigs?
Different geography, same rationale.
