I don't blame you, Torunn.
I won't eat oysters, periwinkles, snails, mussels, but... I really loves me my clams 🙂

They look a bit inedible too, I must say. Are they a little slimy?

That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green..."

OK but that was lunch time. Why not give them “a go” at dinner time?🤔👍

There is no good time for slimy food, I'm sorry for saying this.

Whatever - to keep the forum going.

As you wish but I think you really should “expand” your epicurean experience.👍

I just can't bring myself to do it. The only time oysters were on the lunch menu was in Italy many years ago. I think that choosing something more familiar that time helped keep me alive. 🙂

We need to talk - usually trouble approaching

I’m sorry torunn but the policy here at the Tavern is and always has been, “NO SUBSTITUTES”.

I will be without food today then - no harm done, losing a pound or two won't hurt. 🙂

Lars stepped out for about an hour or two. He said he had some important business to attend to so he left it up to me to set the menu. As I a very keen on oysters, todays dinner offerings all include that wonderful mollusk.👍

Might I have crawfish instead?

@great-big-stees said
“Well that’s alright mama”.👍

As I haven't had dinner yet, I would love to know what's on the menu today, such as foreign dishes introduced by our recently employed foreign chef, Lars P. Möller.

… FMF

It seems pretty clear to me that FMF is gone for good since his bereavement. And whether you loved him or loathed him it is also now clear that he was without doubt one of, if not THE best poster in the two forums he frequented; General and Spirituality.

Thoughts?

He made a difference, I feel sad for his bereavement.

Vaudeville, a theatrical genre.

(sounds a bit like 'Vad du vill' meaning in Swedish 'what you want'.

Cult 80s TV series the ideology of which helped spawn contemporary conspiracy theories about reptilian aliens secretly adopting positions of power and influence.

That was a very good series.

Violence - never to be used on somebody who can't defend themselves.

While I was out, torunn said she saw Elvis go into the men’s restroom.😲

And he never came out again so I assumed he jumped out the window, with the beer, the bear and the bill. 🙂

@great-big-stees said
“Stole”, more like borrowed I think.👍

And Elvis has left the building, but he did have a beer or was it a bear?
