seafood

you know, i'm very cheap to feed. i don't like most expensive seafood. XD just fry me an egg, give me one bowl of plain white rice and some soya sauce, i'll be all set. :P
actually, i do eat three types of seafood: fish (obviously, i prefer fish and chips where possible :P), scallops (LOVE them, but again, i love them the most when i get them crumbed with fish and chips :P) and after my brain injury, calamari (the ones i get with fish and chips, obviously :P).
even when i was a wee lil kid, i'd refuse to eat prawns. somehow, my mother reckoned that i reused to eat them coz i was scared of their orange and white stripes, so one night, she mashes the prawns into my bowl of rice so i can't see them. i take one mouthful, screw up my face, and go, "eww, mum, prawns! disgusting!!!!" after that, mother understood that i really didn't like prawns and stopped trying to feed me them. :P actually, when i grew older, when dad cooked prawns and placed them onto the table, i'd shove the plate closer to him. "yuk, dad," i'd say. "your prawns stink. move them closer to yourself." :P
once, down @ ian dipple lagoon, where charis seafood is, i tried a raw oyster. my verdict? DISGUSTING!!>< 'twas SLIMY!! like, eww. :P
several months ago, i rang madam hippo down in canberra, and asked her what she was having for dinner that night.
"ling fish." came the response.
i thought i'd heard her incorrectly. "come again?" i asked her.
"ling fish." she repeated a second time. i exploded into laughter. BAHAHA!!!! see, my mother's name is ling. :P
dad and i made a big fuss outta 'eating mum' whenever we had this fish. obviously, mother. was. not. impressed. definitely! XD
oh yeah. tonight, aunty a came over for dinner tonight, and we had baby abalone. that too is DISGUSTING, BTW. XD
basically, seafood and i don't really get along very well. :P
but i almost forgot! one more thing: tinned tuna! obviously, john west is the best, like they say on their ads. safcol comes second, but greenseas comes dead last, coz their tuna's all dry and yucky, not juicy.
anyways, next post here ... well, bookclub's next thursday ... maybe i'll get my post about disabled parking permits up before then. anyways, until then!
cheers,
em. ^^
