Watcha eating?

[dmccarty]

I worked as an oyster shucker at a Calico Jacks restaurant/bar in Florida (20 years ago) and shucked just tons of oysters at the oyster bar. I just never had a hankerin' for 'em raw, but I sure served a bunch of 'em.

Holly Smokes Batman! My cousin and I used to go to a Calico Jacks in Altamonte Spring FLA! Course it was a bit more than 20 years ago. More like 25. Ok, 30 years. :laughing::laughing::laughing: I think we paid $10 a bucket? Steamed or raw. Plus beer. We ate ALOT of oysters in that place....

Ever make/eat a Rooster? :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Later,
Dan

For supper was a piece of baked frozen cod with paprika and lemon on it along with some steamed carrots, a little whole cranberry sauce, a few brussels sprouts and some 100% apple sauce.

No broiled possum as in above post.

Suggested Wine: San Miguel Beer
Serving Ideas : Rice, naturally.

NOTES : During my wedding reception, my brother- in-law suggested we add to the
feast by having dog stew. Wanting to be part of the family, and having been
subjected to all sorts of socials tests already, I agreed. The result was...
well.. a lot better than I expected. In fact, it was great!

It was only later I found out that dog should *not* be served at weddings, as
it may make the bride and groom flight like dogs during the honeymoon. But what
the heck. It didn't seem to have that effect... at least not until a few year
later.

For the faint of heart, you can always substitute lamb in place of next door’s
rover, but the meat will not be as sweet or as rich in flavor.

No possum for me, thank you.

I just put possum in there to see if I could get a "rise" from you guys Actually, when I was in my early teens, I did enjoy possum, ground hogs, turtles, frogs, racoons, rabbits, squirrels, deer, dove, duck, quail, fish eggs, hog brains, morel mushrooms, rhubarb, gooseberries, possum grapes, fox grapes, persimmons, sassafras tea, mulberries, pickled pigs feet and so on. Grandma would cook anything that we would kill and clean. Quite adventurous childhood, I think? Ken Sweet

Ken just in case you get a craving:

The good: This food is low in Sodium. It is also a good source of Protein, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Iron, Phosphorus and Selenium, and a very good source of Vitamin B12.

The bad: This food is high in Cholesterol.

In the early sixties when I was young and in my prime at 125 lbs, The good or bad nutritional guidelines did not enter my mind. In fact, we did not have any. LOL. Nowadays, nutrition is constantly on my mind. I hate that part of getting older Ken Sweet

Most of those were staples to me growing up but I did needed to look up possum grapes. For a while there I thought you were making steers out of the little fellers to sweeten up the possum meat. Waste not, want not.
