Let's put it on PNL sheet.darth vader was (secretly) married to Princess Padmé, who died moments after giving birth to twins Luke Skywalker and Princess Leiahe wouldn't be paying alimony (spousal support) as Princess Padmé is dead. and not parental negligence: from wikiQuoteVader accuses Padmé of betrayal and uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness.After Obi-Wan defeats Vader in a lightsaber duel, he brings Padmé to the secret asteroid base Polis Massa. Despite efforts of medical droids, Padmé dies after delivering twins, Luke and Leia, having lost the will to live

QuoteOriginally posted by: ppauperSwedish jockey Helena Stahl defends eating her horse after it was put downI respect that. Her reasoning is coherent and compelling and hard to attack from the perspective of an omnivore (like myself). And if you are a vegetarian, or for that matter vegan, it is also not clear to me that eating your favorite horse (once killed for seemingly good reason) is worse than eating the flesh of any other animal, especially given that the latter would presumably have been killed for the express purpose of being eaten.

It seems like a much better way to honor that horse than to feed it the worms, flames, or an abattoir. Any squeamishness that it's akin to cannibalism is entirely irrational because the taboos on cannibalism are linked to the much higher likelihood of disease transmission if one eats a dead member of one's own species.

Nice video from someone's small house party:The traditional Swedish way to eat surströmmingVery tastefully done. But you know when he takes the tin of surströmming away from the deck to open it...hehe - indeed there was some pressure built up inside.

Probably the closest I have come is the Norwegian "rakefisk", which is a fermented trout or arctic char that is traditionally eaten with a similar accoutrement of bread (flat or not), butter our sour cream, raw onion, boiled potato, black pepper, and perhaps other items that I forget.
