I guess I'll have to search these out, because I LOVE those chocolate orange sticks!

Now if you'll excuse me I must go have one for dessert.


Just because I sound like a giant pig i want it known that I bought a container of the bite sized ones.

heh- Costco used to sell an 18-count flat of the big ones. Creme, caramel and chocolate fudge-

Yum...(no, I never ate a whole flat myself)

My mother grew up on a farm, and she always said there's nothing like a fresh killed chicken.

My wife grew up near a cornfield in New Jersey, and if you wanted to buy corn from the farmer, he insisted that you call ahead and tell him that the water on the pot was boiling so the sweetness would not convert to starch.

I can vouch for freshly picked tomatos and herbs, but that's about it.

um, what did they do with the head??????


Do people eat shrimp heads?

Apparently Cadbury Cream Eggs are available in vending machines in the Tube stations - but I haven't tried one yet.

So, here's where CP and I (I say when she's not around to defend herself) admit that owning a bunny is turning us into crazy bunny people. We've always rolled our eyes at the Cadbury commercials. The old clucking bunny commercials. How stupid is that, right?

But here's the thing we've learned...bunnies kinda look like chickens. I mean, if she's relaxed, she'll get into this position we call the "bunny hen." She tucks front legs underneath her, her dewlap (the extra fold of skin on her chest) puffs up and covers the feet, her head kinda settles back...and she looks for all the world like she's brooding. And all I can think of is the Cadbury commercials. I can almost hear her clucking.

Yup, crazy bunny people.

Oh yes! They dip the head in tempura batter, deep fry it and serve it up with lemon wedges (usually two of them, since two shrimp constitute an order of sweet shrimp).

Of course, you can elect not to eat the heads. Many people don't. I generally eat one and share the other since by the time I get to sweet shrimp I'm at the end of my sushi dinner and stuff to my own gills.

Go figure, the tamale and the though of eating similar bits of a lobster gross me out totally, but this I don't mind. And the shrimp is incredible, sweet and succulent.

I started to say "I have a problem eating anything with a head but knew I was setting myself up."
