Everything looks so clean and tidy. I love the face mask on the chef - how many of us know places where we wish face masks would be worn ?; 15 April 2009 at 11:29
Chairman Bill said...: Kapgaf: The scorpions are reported as somewhat nutty flavoured - a bit like strong peanuts.; 15 April 2009 at 14:18
kapgaf said...: I like the idea of walking into a pub in China and saying "I'll 'ave a pint anna packet of salt 'n vinegar scorpions please".; 15 April 2009 at 19:23
A Woman Of No Importance said...: I had to tick unfunny, Sir - I cannot believe they eat scorpions - Christ, you could only have found out how they tasted during a dire famine, surely! All our senses must keep us from the stingy tailed ones - It's only common sense! And eating them - Agggggggghhhhhhhhh! I'd have to be drugged - But being as it was China, perhaps they are?; 15 April 2009 at 22:46
