I'm intrigued - the pig brains - what do they taste like, and texture - always imagine it's like eating a soft cauliflower...

They are very creamy, it's like eating soft cheese. Difficult to comment on the taste as such, because I've only had them soaked in chilli oil but very enjoyable.

Eating an apple.

Internal bits as well. seeds & stem included.

Semolina, used to love that as a kid, haven't had it in decades

I've always got some to add to pizza bases, usually do a 50/50 with flour.

I heard a stat a while back that, going back millennia, communities in the UK got about 80% of their protein from oysters,
Oysters would feature in my last supper, [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION] might like to know that a frangipane type desert would also be there.

True. The rabbit holes on Cissbury Ring will often reveal broken oyster shells that the rabbits have dug up. That's from a couple of thousand years ago.

Des huitres sauvage, on the quayside at Concale, Brittany.

Raw wild oysters, the size of your hand.

Agreed.

But I do wish I'd never watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix.

There are numerous old maps around Shoreham showing oyster beds. plenty of molluscs living ad growing there now, as long as the illegal farmers are kept at bay.

They only live a couple of years and die soon after mating anyway, so we might as well eat them. Besides, they're not endangered and are delicious. If they were that smart, they wouldn't climb into pots attached to ropes.

Yeah, I know all that. It's the same for any animal, in principle.

But they've got NINE brains.

And 2 hearts! They really are a fascinating, beautful animal https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/octopus-genome-reveals-secrets-to-complex-intelligence/

So tasty though.

When I lived in Greece we used to get octopus straight out of the sea and on the barbie, delicious.

Fray Bentos cook in the tin meat pies, puff pastry always looked better on tin than in reality after it was cooked.

Yep - basically uncooked soggy pastry at the bottom. Yuk!
