7379 - *burp*

[scottobear]

Had a food stop at Ernie's... Food arrived fast, and the crew was very friendly. I may've found my new lunch hangout - got a fat "cup" (more like bowl) of conch chowder, a big ol' slice of sweet bimini bread for $3.25, and a delicious honking huge ever-full iced tea for $1.60.

The salads are *gigantic*, too. I wouldn't be able to finish one... plus, the veggie burger looked really good, too.

I had no room for dessert, though the old standby of Key Lime pie was staring me in the face. Background noise and music was medium-low, loud enough to enjoy the music, not so loud that you couldn't talk to you lunchmate.

I'll have to wrangle MP and the rest of the gang to go grab a bite sometime.

Oooh....I love conch! Big ol' sea snails make yummy soup!! Kinda hard to find here in the Midwest, though. And garden slugs aren't a very good subsitute. Guess I'll have a cheese sammich for lunch instead...

Conch is tasty, and I don't feel guilty about eating 'em.

No face, no problem.

The fritters were a little on the over-bready-side, but the soup was great... I'm going to do the salad next time, because I'll certainly be able to get 2 meals out of it.

DON'T EAT GARDEN SLUGS!

"No face, no problem." I like that.

I was trying to explain that very notion to a lovely lady at the B&B we stayed at in Brugge. She noted at breakfast that I was a vegetarian and then was confused when I later mentioned having delicious moules (mussels) for dinner the night before. I told her that I considered bi-valves to be only slightly more sentient than vegetables and therefore felt no guilt about slurping down a few dozen of them. But I could never eat a steak after passing lovely pastures full of the most relaxed-looking cows I'd ever seen...just snoozing in the Belgian sun. Call me a bad veggie if you must, but I think there's a definite distinction between clams and cows.

I tend to agree... a bivalve is less intelligent than a venus-flytrap, as far as I'm concerned.

Leave Ms Moo alone!
