t
he peculiar natures of humans' relations with cattle undergirds the
recently revived rwanda crisis, tusti are cattle people and hutu are
sedentary farmers.
I am unsure about what the question means about gastronomy, in the
neighborhood - matters of taste, to be sure --
swordfish is good in two areas of sicily, capetown deserves not a mention,
guangz-hou probably better, lyon is fat & meat is better outside of buenos
aires or the chianina valles, what remains of it
best

luckily nothing suggests nothing.
in latin the (word-notion) for property derives from the idea of
enclosures for cattle, here, e.g. merriam and webster
*Pecuniary* first appeared in English in the early 16th century and comes
from the Latin word *pecunia,* which means "money." Both this root and
Latin *peculium,* which means "private property," are related to the
Latin noun for cattle, *pecus.* In early times, cattle were viewed as a
trading commodity (as they still are in some parts of the world), and
property was often valued in terms of cattle. *Pecunia* has also given us
*impecunious,* a word meaning "having little or no money," while
*peculium* gave us *peculate,* a synonym for "embezzle." In *peculium*
you might also recognize the word *peculiar,* which originally meant
"exclusively one's own" or "distinctive" before acquiring its current
meaning of "strange."
Thank you again. This is all that comes to mind by way of quasi-literary
response: “That is the problem with governments these days. They want to
do things all the time; they are always very busy thinking of what things
they can do next. That is not what people want. People want to be left
alone to look after their cattle.”

as for cheese I have no idea and no interest, I ate once pecorino and it
sucks, like any and all roman gastronomy
Where, just out of curiosity, does gastronomy not suck? Sicily, Lyon,
Capetown, Shanghai…?
