    Garlic crabs

    Not a treatment for an STD but actually a dish on one of the local Indian takeaways.

    Fried in mashed potatoes & garlic paste, highly spiced
    Sounds proper weird so I had to have it as I am having major garlic cravings this evening. Did make me think though, are there any other proper weird items on your local takeaways menu?

    Deep fried spicy Hippo?
    Sechuan Llama?
    Yak Jalfrezi?

    Fill yer boots, but keep 'em honest.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    Cheese and tomato on bread with a couple of extra toppings for fifteen quid.
    There are some right mugs around.
    I never use one but they put their leaflets through my letterbox.

      I've had fresh crabs in Chennai, cooked to the local recipe.
      Very nice, very spicy and now I'm dribbling thinking about them.

      They were actually better than chilli crabs in Singapore
      Coffee's for closers

        I love crab.

        I stay away from anything like this in takeaways as its normally frozen and devoid of flavour.

        You can beat a decent shellfish platter.

            If you can make it here, do. The Company Shed

            Sea food that is fresh, straight to your plate and lots of it. Take your own bottle, bread and any condiments you like.

            Just watch the tide, we got stuck for a while leaving.

              Not far from where I live. So might give it a try.

              Best fish and chips I had were in NZ on Waiheke Island.

                  Shame that's over 200 miles from here, I love seafood and since it's pretty much as fresh as possible there I bet it's excellent.

                    Spicy soft shell crab, deep fried with fresh garlic, chilli, ginger and spring onions. Mmmm-mmmm.
