They do fire some of the little frigate's guns, but only in salutes and not broadside, according to the 'net research.

I fired a signal cannon from a 1985 Ocean Yacht 55 Once Back in 1995.
10 people on a big boat with beer, a full bar, shot guns, a skeet thrower and a canon. What can go wrong?
We got the captian drunk, took over navigation,and got lost, at least till he sobered back up.

On the other thread, Yak was mentioned.
another said, no organ meat or weird stuff.
I have only one comment about weird stuff...
most American's regularly eat fetus of chicken and the fat from a Pig belly, for breakfast.
that's gotta be weird to someone, in some other Country, who's got a Yak on the spit.

About naval cannons; Dad had 2. They were for throwing line from one ship to another. On Fourth of July he'd drag one out into the alley behind the house, load it with rags and fire it for the neighbors. Everybody loved it. Imagine what the news headline would read today.
Tongue? I used to balk at the idea of eating something that had already been in someone (or something) else's mouth. Guess I've gotten a bit more adventurous as I've aged.
Eggs? Chicken, duck, quail, salmon, sturgeon, cod; they're all yummy.
When I was scuba diving, we would bring up scallops, open them up and drizzle lemon juice on them and eat them raw.
I still have no desire to eat snails or rocky mountain oysters.

Tongue?
A woman walks into a meat market and notices the butcher has a Beef Tongue on the scale. She says "What in the world is that?" The butcher says "Beef Tongue". She replies, "Eeeewwwwww! I'm not eating anything that came out of an animals mouth". The butcher glances in her shopping cart and calmly says "I see you got eggs".
Sorry, bad joke.
Funny how many people especially city dwellers, don't realize that a chicken only has one opening in the backside. The vent. Both eggs and excrement come out that hole because both systems join together at the vent. Maybe we should just not tell them . . .

Eggs got shells and tongue's got skin (which you remove).

Yup, after it comes out of the smoker it goes into the pressure cooker for 1/2 an hour. When it is cool enough to handle the outer skin peels off pretty easily. I really really like it sliced on a Town House cracker with a dab of Woeber's Horseradish sauce on it.

Protein is protein. If the natives can eat it so can I. Except for the monkey I ate in RVN that gave me worms.

Seven GI's and 20 ARVN's were sent out on a five day mission to locate a new ARVN outpost. Planned for c-rats for us but the ARVN just got tubes of rice. Monsoon and fog settled in so no chopper resupply or extraction. Even sharing the chow, we were pretty hungry after nine days. Snake isn't too bad nor monkey, but didn't boil the monkey long enough to be will done as we were just about out of C4.

I like guns . . . do guns count?? None that shoot raisins though.

Raisons and walnuts are required in oatmeal cookies, not that I get any anymore.
