To be the first person to actually die laughing.

It's a new day - new question....


Snails, oysters or both?

^careful everyone - we all know that angry waiters totally do things to yours food


also, angry, would you mind ending all of your posts with a :mad:?

thank you for your kind assistance in this matter

um, neither?

ew :eek:

Oysters definitely. Snails make me gag.

I will not!:mad:

Definitely oysters, because the idea of pulling escargot out of a shell sounds disgusting...i like my slimy molluscs de-shelled, thank you very much!

i've tried both and i found snails conceptually more difficult. in the battle of mind over matter, snails were much harder to defeat.

my answer is neither, but if i absolutely had to choose i'd choose oysters.

I am a veggie head and so don't eat either, but if I had to choose, I would choose oysters if I could have them this way, because it is so purdy.

Both! Snails in their shells with garlic butter and oysters with caviar, creme fraiche and vodka or in a shot glass with......dammit I can't remember but they were good.

conch.

^ yes, in fritter form.


i basically have a policy about meat that says i can't eat anything that looks like it looked like when it was alive. no fish with the heads on, no snails still in the shells, no lobster.

it's not a moral thing. it's a grossout thing.

mmm... I think I'll skip the shells and have the


swordfish

Oysters and snails are pretty much undifferentiated slime. For my money, oysters tend to go better with other sadistic foods I am fond of.

Oyster-wasabi shots with aquavit
Serves 6
Warning: Not for the faint-of-heart!

3 ounces aquavit
6 small fresh oysters such as Olympias, freshly shucked (or use pre-shucked Chesapeake or Pacific oysters)
3/4 teaspoon prepared wasabi paste, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons domestic or imported black caviar, or salmon roe caviar
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon orange zest

Place the aquavit in the freezer at least 2 hours before you plan to serve. Chill 6 shot glasses, preferably the straight-sided variety.
If using the very large, shucked Pacific oysters, cut them into halves or quarters. Working quickly, place 1 tablespoon of aquavit into each of the chilled glasses and top with 1/8 teaspoon of wasabi paste, or to taste. Top with an oyster, and top each oyster with 1/4 teaspoon caviar, and a tiny pinch of cilantro and orange zest. Serve immediately.
If it is possible to do so elegantly, drink the whole thing in one gulp.

Aquavit.

Weird - was trying to explain aquavit to a co-worker yesterday. What're the odds that it'd come up twice in twenty-four hours?
Especially considering I live in the US now & stopped drinking years ago! :mad:

¿ question of the day ? for wednesday 14th november:

Because he cut an entire semester of anger management class...the Farking Jerkwad SOB.

oh ya...i cut it too.

somebunny stole his digestive biscuits

he's been on the receiving end of one too many suht ups.

he's emulating madasacutmoiselle

He's 57 years old and still known as "Kid". Wouldn't that piss you off, too?

Mean spirited and bitter, that's what you are!

Question for thurs the 15th...

On Tuesday, it was so warm that I waded into the river up to my knees. The frye nibbled at my toes, the water hyacinths were blooming, there were bees. I felt the impulse to jump in.

Did I do it?

I say you were pushed.

Yes, with all my heart I hope you did.

just like brave sir robin, you did it in your armour :)

^ luku, have i told you lately that i love you?


pearly: i'm going to say no. i'm going to guess that a moment before plunging in you were distracted by a strange "hoo-hooting" off in the distance and you galloped into the woods in the hopes of tracking down its source. you galloped for days but never found it.

wait... you are a horse, right?

This is fun. :D

Just to see how it affects your thinking, I'm going to specify that I was fully clothed and there were a few people about. Total strangers, all of them.

i think you did it.

Well, Ophelia did....
