Gobbler, there's no room in the cellar - that's where the squid's defrosting now. pg, next Chez Fur event, can we do it full moon and catch them? I guess somethings don't need bear bile on tap to do that. Sticky, the image of peeling the ox tongue skin just put me off my Jaffa Cake.
Gobbler, there’s no room in the cellar – that’s where the squid’s defrosting now.

At the turn of the moon. Off Dromana Pier. And I speak from experience when I say WATCH OUT FOR THE INK. Those little buggers can squirt a hell of a way.

At least it wasnt a Austrian cellar-I know, I know, bad taste! Ed that defrosting NZ giant cellaphod sounds like an awful lot of bait for one hook!

Having said that, I had a strange childhood, my next favourite kitchen task was peeling the thick skin from an ox tongue which had been slow cooked in a crockpot.
