They’re basically salty slime that have literally filtered shit out of seawater to feed it to the next person. Can you tell I’m not a fan? Do you have the same aversion to cockles mussels razor clams flitters whelks sea urchins sea cucumbers queenies/scallops jellyfish snails?

Pretty much, and I certainly wouldn’t eat them raw. Can’t be bothered with mussels, and my experience of snails is that they’re like garlic chewing gum. Not tried the rest, and I’ve never heard of flitters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you weren’t down on the beach on Good Friday prising the flitters off the rocks, cooking them and eating them, ensuring no metal was used. Good Manx tradition! They’re tough and tasteless. ( limpets ) Does your antipathy run to prawns, shrimp, crab, lobster? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab always seems to have bits of shell in it, and lobster is massively overrated. I certainly can't be bothered fishing bits of meat out of the claws etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These happy meals aren't cheap any more and they should be done under the trade description act, as it didn't make her happy on her Birthday.
