I'll have to try this one.   The name if it made me have to look and see!

This is an excellent recipe for wieght loss... Go out into the garden on a nice sunny day, take one Butterfly net, espy butterfly amongst the flowers, give chase, after running around the garden, perspiring profusely, catch same butterfly, take inside, put butterfly on a plate, place plate in sun, have one large drink of water, and collapse!!!!!!!!! I guarantee, you wont feel like eating till the next meal, which by the way is earthworm soup!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHA!  Maureen! 

Ha ha Maureen. That is so funny.

This is an interesting title Porcupine --  although turkey, chicken & fish are the best for dieting I have two recipes one is using canned salmon and the other is using beef so I guess any combination can be called Porcupine ------ and the WW recipe is much healthier than the ones I have.

Ha! Maureen.  Sauteed butterfly wings are delicious!!!!!!!!  NOT!!! 

Porcupine, I guess, could be anything with rice.  I think the rice is the 'porcupine' part!
