I put back the only turtle (terrapin) I ever caught in British waters. It was living not far from your old place and weighed a good 5lbs. Must admit, I wouldn't have fancied it. _pale_

Did eel once. It wouldn't stop jumping around in the pan, and it was already in 3" pieces! :rotfl:I didn't really like its rich taste that much.

ATM I'm pheasanted-out & praying there won't be any more on the door handle till next season.

Smoked eel can be amazing, that's one of the things I would never have tried if I didn't waste money in poncey restaurants!

I'm extremely unfussy in pretty much every regard, but I'm also grumpy, painfully antisocial, rude, stubborn, selfish, immature, fickle, particularly unadventurous, and rubbish in bed so it seems your theory is not borne out!

I do at least know my principle character faults though.

Perhaps you are the acception that proves the rule?

I think my theory is more of a likelyhood than a definite ...he it mushrooms so he Must be good. . And tbh, i Am not gonna go back to reasearch to find how likely there is to be a link, i found a man who is a gourmand, so why would i?

Tbh, even good in bed could get me to deal with daily grumpiness and rudeness though. I would add selfishness is almost certainly contraindicatory of a good lover....but your gf seems keen , so hou must get something right, so good for you!

I eat anything and lots of it.
Yum to everything everyone has talked about except oysters. Never tried them. Cant say the idea of them appeals but I'd give them a go.

She's Australian, they have no taste and make cups of tea using the hot tap instead of a kettle so I'm not sure that evidence is admissible in these proceedings!

Try them, michaels would like them. Try good big meaty ones, that are sweetly salty. Six is amole for a meal imo. A dozen is too manyi have decided.

A mole should read enough. Even i can't see the mental leap i made there.

I frequently make my kids try a little taste of things (although only in private en famille, not at other people's houses or when we have guests). It works on DD. DS has yet to change his mind about any of the things he doesn't like. He knows his own mind, and doesn't change it easily, as regards food just as regards everything else.

Isn't it wonderful that there is someone for evryone, even a grumpy person? You are very lucky to have found her, and hopefully you can help her with the kettle.

I hope his project is going well.

The problem with being so decisive is that you can close doors to yourself, and be biased against things that can make you happier.

Yeah, I know. It's hard to persuade him, though.
