Kerises in different cultural spheres

Wasn't trying to be funny Jussi.

Actually, I like sharks. They make really great eating. I think my favourite fish for fish & chips is shark.

Being the kind, sensitive people we are here in the Land of Oz, we've declared a lot of types of sharks as endangered, and protected them. I'm not all that much in agreement with this, because it reduces availability of them for eating.

Another example of animal protectionism gone mad.

You see, we eat the sharks:- the sharks don't eat us.

Mako can be good if fresh .
Pointies are protected here as in AU. if I am correct.

BTW , what a Helluva Winter we've been having; major coastal erosion; and we don't have a heck of a lot left to erode !
I couldn't take the back road to Town; it was flooded out .

"Oh what a good game."

Just to take this conversation just a little bit further off the discussion of keris, sharks have THE highest levels of mercury of ANY fish you can eat. Just something to keep in mind if you eat it often.
