Times are tough again.  The wife had me go out back to build a fire for some slabs of Heifer she had purchased and then gave me a bag of rocks.   Me and my Brother in Law put them on the fire and, low in behold, water began to seep from the rocks.  We took a little knife she had provided each of us and opened them up to find some terrible looking organism inside.  Being hungry we consumed them, with the gusto of a hound dog, and ended up eating 50 of the things.  By the time the Heifer was done, we weren't so sure we were still hungry. :-/

I think I'd like some more of those rocks someday. ;D

Ain't nothing much better than oysters like that. Back when I was dating Donna (1966), I used to go oystering with her family. We'd get back with a croaker sack (That's a burlap sack for you Yanks) full of oysters. They'd fire up the grill and lay a bunch of oysters over the coals. Everyone standing around watching and drooling. As soon as a shell would pop open up a bit, the quickest person would grab it, open it, dip it in hot sauce and chew it up. Those were some good times. Of course we'd be washing it down with some good cold wobbley pop too. 8)

I'd rather eat the rocks than the oysters.
 They kinda remind me of tire patches ;D

It's hard to beat a feed of Oysters loaded up with butter,mind you, with enough butter,even tire patches would taste good.


Jason_WI,

I'm with Deadheader, eating them raw with a little cocktail sause and tobasco, is the only way.  Cocktail sauce is just ketchup and horseradish for those who don't know what it is.

You mean tire patches taste like that?  What brand have you fellows been eating?  I want to get me some. :)

Well, Bibby, we're so destitute and suffering, trying to get on the Gov. Dole and just trying to make ends meet, living one day at a time,  All these porterhouse type slabs and rocks and little shrimpses are the only thing keeping us going. :-/ sigh!  :'(




:D

Guess that's why I've been born and raised a couple hundred miles from the sea.  We use the little spineless creatures as bait!!

Wow!  That's a first!  I've never been implicated as even remotely being a Yankee!  (Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with being a Yankee.)  I just don't include bugs in my diet.

On a trip last year we stopped in Monroe, Louisianna and I had my first plate of real etoufee.  Man that was good eatin'.
when we got to Memphis I ordered it again but it was not the same or as good.  Guess I'll have to visit Louisianna again.  Unless of course one of you real southerners would send me an accurate recipe.  Wasn't there a thread awhile back about starting a recipe page in the forum?

Rocky Mountain Oysters anyone?

A few years ago I went out to Lehigh University to take a course in electron microscopy. They always have this feast for the students and instructors and serve huge platters of oysters and shrimp. I didn't try the oysters (looked kinda raw) but did down a few (16 to be exact) of the biggest shrimp cocktail shrimps I ever did see! This pretty well filled me up and I had a hard time with the main meal. I couldn't figure out what to do with the oysters, the people who were eatin them had funny looks on their faces  ???

Bibbyman, nothing personal, since I am from an area in Mo known as little Dixie.  But, yankee is anything north of where we are.  You can be in Little Rock and be a yankee! ;D

In re to RM oysters,

Don, that rule applies everywhere but Florida. Here, the further south you go, the further north you get.  Thankfully, I'm about as far north as you can get, and still be in Florida. ;D

Tried raw oysters once.  Ate the first one 3 times, so I gazve up.

DanG

The trick is to tie a string on it. Then if you don't like it, you can just pull it back up. ;D

I passed up a chance at some good oysters last weekend, so I could fiddle with my mill. I don't think I'll let that happen, next time.

Sure wish I could eat shrimp. I love'em, but they make me bad, bad sick. I developed a sensitivity to them, back in the mid-seventies. I got sick about 4 times before I figgered out what was doing it. Ain't had one since. :'( :'(

Oh no!   Did you figure out if it was the shrimp or the iodine or maybe "imported" shrimp?  What'cha gonna do in these hard times? ..sniff  ........sigh!

DanG

Could be any of the above. First time was after a shrimp coctail on an airliner.  Got it again from some shrimp dip, but a couple of times were from some pretty good coastal seafood restaurants. Go figger!  Hadda go to the ER twice for IV therapy, and that was enough for me.

DanG,
I have a similar sensitivity to chicken.  Do you have any idea of how many kinds of edibel products have chicken in them?  How about I eat the shrimp and you eat the chicken?
I eat a high-fiber diet.  Lots of sawdust!
