You are bad)))


Personally I don't think you ought
to be regarded as an adult unless you can prepare a small animal
or bird for the pot.

Indeed

Last weekend I bought razor clams at the same shop. Delicious
when sauteed for 60s, but some people don't like watching them
wriggle immediately before cooking. But perhaps this is
meandering a bit too far off topic.

I don't eat shellfish so I have never had this problem. I am not sure
*I* would be happing seeing my ingredient still wiggling either

I wouldn't want to admit it in public, but I was a
bit squeamish too. And that's probably not a bad thing.
