That's like saying: "I don't eat potatoes because they're so hard when I
undercook them and so mushy when I overcook them".

Isn't that a long-winded way of saying "I don't know how to cook"?

Yes, but I think sf knows how to cook. She's just being difficult. I
like prawns, but only if they were caught in the Bay of Wadafakawe,
during a westerly wind, at a depth of more than 50 metres, and only with
Bearnaise sauce. Difficult.

I have never used Bearnaise sauce as bait. Interesting.

Eh? You seem to be repeating yourself. Can you speak a little
louder?

Well, he did say it would be difficult.
Myself, I'd try some tartare sauce.
