I can't believe something like vegetarianism has gotten between me and one of the things I must eat before I die! <BR/><BR/>And so funny about the pipas!

My favori...It's my first meme and I'm very excited! <BR/><BR/>My favorite of your list is the story of eating angulas for the first time. I can remember as a child how out-of-the-ordinary moments like that were filled with magic. <BR/><BR/>Until I read this I also did not know that baby eels were a delicacy or that they were endangered. When I was a child I was taught to swim in a salt pond on the New England coast that was teeming with baby eels. In fact, this salt pond was so filled with aquatic life that I found my swimming lessons unnerving. I was forever stepping on horseshoe crabs or starfish, or feeling schools of eels or tiny fish brush against me as they swam by.<BR/><BR/>For the last twenty years or so, the eels have been gone from this place and the number of other creatures is also way down. Pollution, I guess -- more houses, more boats, more people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1156347132070832752006-08-23T17:32:00.000+02:002006-08-23T17:32:00.000+02:00yay! how insanely fun!! and insanely hard! just fi...yay! how insanely fun!! and insanely hard! just five things huh? ;-)<BR/>man, if it's your number one thing, i need to get my hands on some of that iberico....<BR/>thanks much for the tag, i'll try to do you proud!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1156344806872456582006-08-23T16:53:00.000+02:002006-08-23T16:53:00.000+02:00Ah, I look forward to answering.
