Well I don't have thanksgiving here but I brought a home-made fruit cake with me for Christmas and had to leave more cakes at home for my kids..... rich, fruity and lethal for drivers it has so much brandy in it!

I love shrimp and out here I buy it live and thrashing around in the bag; then I have to share it with a couple of yowly cats when I cook it!

Lynne, if you think fish eyes are a problem, all fish here is served whole and the eyes are considered a delicacy so I am often given the option to eat them as a guest

The worst thing I have had to face though was a LIVE lobster waving its claws and antennae at me while it was being eaten!!! (Not by me!)Lobster is delicious but NOT that way! At least it wasn't cat or dog thank goodness! I once asked a class of high school students if they liked cats and one bright spark at the back of the class said, "Yes, they're delicious!"
