On the Discovery Channel, maybe because it was 1:40am, they were showing this, I was half asleep (having just woken up from falling asleep on the sofa) and walking ‘blindly’ trying to change into my nightclothes (pajamas) and at the same time watching the television which was still on.
The man on the program, the host, whose name I don’t know, built a makeshift spare, stood in the water and tried catching a Salmon. Finally he succeeded! It was a rather large fish, wow; I was impressed by the size of it!
Then he did something that I thought was practically barbaric, he bent the fish slightly, it was wriggling frantically, showed it to us, scale and all, marveling at the look of it, and then he bit into it!
He said it could be eaten just like that, a lot of protein, straight from the river. He then proceeded to devour the entire fish right there and then!
Well, I said to myself, I like eating them, but I just couldn’t do that. I might if my life depended on it. Although I would have to kill the poor thing first. But to my sleep-induced mind that was just a little too much!
Man versus the wild. I guess when you have to survive, man wins!
