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!!!!!!!!!!

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!
