In the Italian forum we usually say we like eating even more than photography... it's an inside joke on choosing Pentax
In all honesty, and humbleness, if I had to drop either eating or taking pictures... I would continue eating.

It's Casseroles et Éprouvettes by Hervé This - the Italian version of course, even though I think I could manage in French as well.
I'm sure you would. French is just mangled Italian, mostly

My borther-in-law did a Google translate of an Italian recipe a few years ago. I guess their algorithm is better now, but back then the first sentence was translated into "Expand the kitchen".

He skipped that part.

That's my second career choice, military pilot.
Not a fighter pilot, then. I think you would have problems fitting the pipes into that small a cockpit.

I don't like crispy bacon, or thin either.

Don't cook it that much, leave it soft, much nicer, in my extremely humble opinion.
So very sorry but I humbly disagree with your most humbly Scandinavian of opinions, bacon should be "just" crispy, not burnt. {in my shy humble opinion}

Like this....



Not this



or this

Sounds like fun times.
Only now are the Canadian Rangers (military branch up north) are having their Lee-Enfields replaced and many a polar bear has been shot with them. I think with such a large animal you need to hit it in the CNS (brain or spinal cord) to stop it dead in it's tracks rather than a heart shot. Also these animals are so large and heavy that one should move to the side really quickly as the momentum of the animal may still result in a very heavy dead pile of meat hitting you.
Yes, head shots for polar bears. Too much muscle and blubber on the body to be sure you'll reach heart and lungs.

Good point on the momentum, too. When we had an elephant trotting towards us our guide pulled us behind a big tree. As she put it "The bullet will kill the elephant, but not stop it. The tree will stop it." It never came to that, though, as the animal veered off when he heard the sound of the bolt action. That was about 5-10 m away - hard to judge accurately when the adrenaline levels are high

I'm not Scandinavian (as far as I know ) but I still very much humbly disagree with you, thick and not crispy.

in Tanzania we had elephants very close to the vehicle

the pop up top was opened and locked and I was standing up taking photos

I asked John ( our guide ) what would happen if the elephant put its trunk into the vehicle

no response

I imagine it would not be good

Yep, momentum before is equal to momentum afterwards.
