When my girls were teens we rented this wonderful movie called "Legend". A very young Tom Cruise was in the movie though that is not why I loved it. My daughters and I were captivated by the fairy tale story of a lovely young girl, the damsel in distress and the magical story that unfolded. Of the Dark Lord who wants the lovely Mia Sara, our damsel in distress, for his own and wants to destroy the last unicorns which would make a world of darkness all over. Evil....yes....
For me, seeing those two beautiful white unicorns that appeared running downstream, playfully tossing their lustrous long white manes and tail that made me melt. I could watch that scene over and over wishing to ride them. Such are dreams! The filming was simple lovely to watch, so many magical scenes. Even the evil parts filled the part of the story you had to endure though painful as it was. We knew our damsel would be saved, we knew the happy ending would come!
Then what did I see in on the internet the other day? This awful joke of Unicorn Meat!!!! I mean really who would come up with this sick idea? Joke or not I was disgusted. This is how they describe it (gag!)......
Unicorns, as we all know, frolic all over the world, pooping rainbows and marshmallows wherever they go. What you don't know is that when unicorns reach the end of their lifespan, they are drawn to County Meath, Ireland. The Sisters at Radiant Farms have dedicated their lives to nursing these elegant creatures through their final days. Taking a cue from the Kobe beef industry, they massage each unicorn's coat with Guinness daily and fatten them on a diet comprised entirely of candy corn.
As the unicorn ages, its meat becomes fatty and marbled and the living bone in the horn loses density in a process much like osteoporosis. The horn's outer layer of keratin begins to develop a flavor very similar to candied almonds. Blending the crushed unicorn horn into the meat adds delightful, crispy flavor notes in each bite. We are confident you will find a world of bewilderment in every mouthful of scrumptious unicorn meat.
So gag again....funny...not so with me the unicorn lover! Seriously they say it sparkles! So I will try not to think of that but set my eyes and heart on this instead...... I may just have to watch this movie real soon to get my fantasy dreams fulfilled and have sweet dreams....
