Mr Him has taken to new style eating like an elephant to a trampoline. He's landed with a darn great bump into clean eating. Before landing and busting the material he decided that if birthdays are in twos and seminars in twos then his 29th February swansong supper would be in twos. He had fish and chips and fish and chips again. Yes he cooked double.
I asked if he'd give me one of them but he advised me that he had a separate meal in the oven for me. He hinted my meal was accompanied with fresh sweet potato fries. All was well, or so I thought, but he went on to say it was crocodile. Yes that great, easy to come by, British traditional food, that we all have lurking in our freezer, crocodile!
I exclaimed that we didn't have any crocodile! He insisted that we did as he did actually find this, as it happened, lurking in our freezer. We argued a bit about the existence and non-existence of the crocodile but finally I had to believe my eyes and mouth for I was certainly eating crocodile.
We eventually ascertained that Miss 21 had bought it to feed to the automotive engineer. Well she still has one burger left to feed him.
I related the story of the crocodile at work.
'where did she get it from?' was asked by a general populace of colleagues listening.
'it's farmed,' I enlightened them.'Iceland.'
Faces looked puzzled. 'the shop not the country,' I added on realising what was going through their heads.
Hahaha - there's me picturing crocodiles in the snow. Did it taste good, though, or was it more like I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here?
ReplyDeleteI won't be eating it again in a hurry.
DeleteI've never eaten crocodile before, and not even sure if you can buy it in the USA.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky
DeleteI haven't seen this in the stores. And did you like it?
ReplyDeleteI found it too salty.
DeleteThat sounds yummy a Croc burger.
ReplyDeleteNo, it wasn't to my taste although the youngsters liked it.
DeleteI suspect farming crocodiles (anywhere) is a risky business.
ReplyDeleteI'm not brave when it comes to eating meat. I stick to what I know.... so good on you for trying croc!

Who would have thought it would be me eating it and not you. So it isn't a staple in Oz then!
DeleteI've eaten alligator (readily bought in Louisiana), but not crocodile... taste like chicken?
ReplyDeleteSaltier.
