Well, it'll still gross me out. It's not like I see a frog and go "mmm! delicious!"

Aries Dragon: Pea soup, lamb chop and fried rice. But the lamb chop wasnt that good...it was from Costco and came precooked and frozen.

I prefer chilled Chardonnay, but I know you guys probably like your beer.

I had mine last summer with Polish Kielbasa, Italian sweet sausage, pork chops and NY Angus Sirloin on the side.

Leos prefer `Royal Treatment' - so they may choose `Five Star' Restaurants and Three Course Meals. They like hot spicy food - mostly cloves, nutmeg and parsley. They might avoid Garlic or Onions. They prefer heavy and tongue burning delicacies- like tavaa paneer. Leos become lazy after having their meals and prefer to hibernate

I didnt know they gave the pilgrims seafood on thanksgiving. Then why the turkey?? All this time I could've been eating delicious lobster on thanksgiving instead of turkey :P

RAS,

In Cape Cod, there isn't a lot of wild turkey. There was a lot of seafood though. And they grew corn when they landed. Eating seafood was out of necessity. If there was meat, it would have been mostly deer and perhaps one or two turkeys shared among the whole village settlement. I believe turkeys came when they moved northwards to Boston.

I myself have a New York twist to Thanksgiving. I don't serve the whole turkey, but I serve duck.

Paella is a lot more elaborate in its preparation, with saffron, turmeric and other spices. Paella also has rice and some fresh tomatoes. Sometimes, there is chorizo too.

Seafood would be my most fav thing to eat!

I would try anything once! (including bugs!)

The New England Clam Bake is a lot more crude. Essentially seafood stuff in a boiling pot of water with salt. Pretty delicious though. And the residual broth can be made into a great soup.

I'm cuban and I second that. Paella is pretty different. The only thing they have in common is they both have seafood lol.

Regardes, a scorpion is very similar to a bug! You're right. Lol. I thought about that when I was typing it too. But then again a grasshopper is also a bug, but it doesn't usually live in infested places and doesnt eat feces and junk like cockroaches do.

She got dried crocodile meat and cooked in soup or porridge.

When I was little, I used to love all kinds of seafood. My family used to go crabbing in Maine and catch crabs, along with fresh mussels off the rocks there. I guess this was either before pollution or we didn't care...it tasted good, much better than anything since.

I hate to be squeamish but ANY eyeballs in a dish make me not want to eat it. It's like the dish is watching me.

So Ian, thanks for the clambake picture, but the shrimps had heads!

Ian, how do they taste??
