Can't tell exactly what they are from the photo pedicabby. Insect or seafood? Insect would scare me less. Sadly I can't find my photos of bugs I ate in Thailand, but they weren't bad.

'bout the time we stopped calling ourselves 'British'.

What happened to courgette & lady fingers

One of the joys of no longer being british is that we are no longer bound by that curious cultural cringe about food that compels the Brits to contantly use the French names for food. I always figured they were hoping that by using French names it would make otherwise average food seem better or make ingredients seem 'exotic'. I've never heard or seen okra labelled as 'lady fingers' here, nor does anyone call eggplant 'aubergine' or snow peas 'mange touts'. Could never work out why the poms did. Odd people. Really.

That's gratitude for you. We send you, free of charge, to a country full of loveliness ie. snakes, spiders, sharks, crocs and delicacies and this is how you thank us. You can thank Chef Escofier for the Frenceh flair but I'm sure you are aware that British cuisine...oppps cooking, is now as highly rated, if not higher, than French. Ask any of the tens of thousands of your countrymen working in London bars and restaurants aka posh cafes. I know ...I keep falling over their chains.
