“They’d eaten every one” : how prescient of Lewis Carroll.
Fantastic value
Oyster farming has taken off in Orleans, Cape Cod, from where I write this, often replacing quahaugs (pronounced “cohogs”), which I like just as much. Both were long term Indian fare before whites arrived.
Yes, I’ve been wondering about quahaugs. Never had them. Charles
Do Menai Oysters ship? Fantastically cheap if they are also fantastically good.
Yes, apparently so. You order them off the website. But would they be so good if not quite so fresh ? Charles
I do hope that the founders of Toast were wearing some of those lovely aprons that their establishment sells!
We did offer them chain mail aprons. Can’t remember where they came from. Charles
