A good old buddy of mine...seventy six now..was born of an Irish Mother and a French father.

His mother was an Officers daughter, his Dad a soldier..India...The Empire and all that.

When he was a boy, disowned by his grandfather..kicked out of the Barracks..


He went down to the shore to grab a crab..

They had something to eat that night....

Crabs are cool...kept many good people alive.


Slan,

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

This is scary. Everyone else reading this thread is thinking gastronomically.

I was thinking it'd make a great "B" horror movie.

Crabs are docile, harmless and cute. For true horror, you need giant mutant rabbits.

I have a big oval cast iron roaster that will accommodate everyone in the picture, but it will take a month of Sundays to break apart enough garlic cloves. Or I could borrow my wife's 36" cast-iron dye/stew pot. But big bunnies are tough, I like the little coneys.

For a hare that size, think barbecue pit, or fire roasted on a slowly revolving spit. :P

Actually, that may be the un-scariest horror movie ever made. It turns out that even giant mutant carnivorous bunnies are cute.

By the way, for SciFi B movie fans, this one opens in theaters next week, and looks like it will be a must-see. Very positive reviews so far.

Those aren't hares! They're Flemish giant rabbits.
