Mariscada - like this?

View attachment 6608

Yes, more or less. That looks like a langoustine in it, and the shrimp still have heads. We're used to split Maine lobster tails, and headless shrimp.

Americans are often put off by their food looking at them, so the heads are usually discarded. I like sucking out the brains, though.

Still, that looks fantastic. It's only 10 AM and I want mariscada.

They often are in the UK - though it depends where you go. I also love sucking out that tasty head bit! And rather than discard them they can be used to make fantastic stock.

At least the head isn't still alive and the eyes moving (as it was in Taiwan many years ago!).

[I agree with those Americans on this one]

All the discards are perfect for making tom yam stock (except the veins).

Not vein, but rather poop chute.

I was watching a show recently about how the Inuit eat the poop chute that is harvested when a seal is killed. It's apparently a delicacy since seals eat other fish.

I'm glad I've finished eating for the day.

This idle banter should stop or else MG will start another thread on eating poop.

Now you come to mention it...

Somehow we have gone from favourite food to most disgusting... I'm sure there is an existing thread for the latter.

You could have 3 choices for desserts but I sense you are struggling. Not everyone likes desserts so, in my OP, I said you could have 3 starters instead....would that suit you more?

Bread and butter pudding?

 

[buckytom]

Over the years, I've driven into work past a few flavor and fragrance factories, and also some major food manufacturers, and this morning's trip home past them reminded of a few favored aromas.

I've passed a Nabisco factory the past few days, and wafting over the highway from it were the aroma of chocolate chip cookies being baked.

Another less known factory on Route 80 has been making several scents lately, including buttery popcorn, warm butterscotch, fresh strawberry, and sort of a fruity bubblegum.

I look like this as I drive past:

Bread and butter pudding?

Oh yes, rich, warming and definitely comfort food. There are many recipes and variations, but basically it's slices of buttered bread baked in a custard. Yes I know that doesn't sound promising, but with quality ingrediants it is absolute bliss. Example below.
