If they relied on normal people to buy scavenger cakes they'd
starve... I wouldn't eat disgusting crab anything if it were free.
Eating crab is no different from eating cockroaches.

He's just never eaten crab.
I sometimes refer to them as sea spiders.

Three of the four dinners I had in Tybee Island last year were crab. I
had soft shell crab twice and steamed crab and shrimp. Delicious.

If anyone ever comes the UK ever again, then I can heartily recommend a Cromer
Crab. Quite well known here so best avoided in Cromer itself for tourist tax,
but surrounding villages do magnificent dressed crabs you just eat straight
out of the shell.

Tourist tax? Like the one in Niagara Falls?

The one I had in Georgia came on a platter with a pound of shrimp, some
potatoes and corn a mallet and no plates. They leave a roll of cheap
brown paper towel to serve as your plate and your napkins. It took
several yards of paper towel to make it through the meal.

Ah no, I meant that the crab in Cromer itself tends to be overpriced and not
that great, because it's named after the town.

This sounds brilliant.

That's a lot like Frogmore Stew. There's a bucket for discarding the
shrimp and crab shells and corn cobs. A roll of cheap brown (butcher
paper) on the table. If they'd added locally made link sausage to the
mix you'd have been eating Frogmore Stew.

Someone has to pay for all the extra sanitizer cleaning fluids,
cloths, etc. Also those who clean must also be paid for their time
even though they are not making money. Haircuts at my place went up
$4.

I went to my MD this afternoon to get checked out for a Pre-Op for my
cateract surgery, I passed with flying colorors but it took over two
hours, had to be masked and placed in an exam room that was spotless
and devoid of all extraneous thingies, no mags.
Got an email today that my dentist is back in business but to phone to
set up an appointment for a cleaning, will probably take twice as
long. Just because this is dairy country doesn't mean they need to
milk all the billing hours... and my dental hygienist is plesant, has
a nice ass,but she's sort of flat chested.

My hygienist is pleasant, too, but I don't recall I've ever looked
at his ass.

LOL But then you also don't wear any makeup.
