Spinal cord is probably the strangest thing I've eaten, it was just chewy and fatty.

Re: Couples with differing views on religion
Plus, there is plenty about religion which is more about family and traditions than it is about god. It would make me very sad to see my family's traditions die. God has very little to do with it.
