They're the most sea-tasting seafood I know of, if that makes any sense.
i read an interesting article translated from Portuguese, apparently there are specific times to pick the stuff and ways to store it, its quite particular, well what i could pick up from the translated page anyway.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieAbsolutely not!! Like the majority of meat eaters, I pay my butcher with conscience money and enjoy meat. This particular animal lived a natural and wild life up until the moment it was shot, and i bought it at a local farmer's market.
murderer!
Each to their own and I would never consider telling a vegetarian or vegan that they should eat meat. I was vegetarian for over seven years when i was younger, so I have been on both sides of the debate.

Originally posted by Pawn Qweenyes i know where you are coming from, celery is like, heave, i was once in an Italian restaurant and i ordered carbonara which i thought was a simple creamy pasta, the dude then got fancy and proceeded to come and crack an egg yolk in the middle of it before my very eyes, apparently it was the authentic way to serve it, my goodness i nearly threw up all over that table, asked the waiter to remove the offensive offering, which he did with a large soup spoon, much to me relief.

Cream in spaghetti alla carbonara... no eggs in spaghetti alla carbonara... next thing you'll tell me that you serve your ragù alla Bolognese with spaghetti, and put woostershaire sorse in it, too.
