It's because i have died.

Thats due the fact that i eated today the local traditional delicacy, the River Lamprey

You know slow sharks like the Greenland_shark gets these parasites too... only their skin is so thick it doesn't benefit the parasite to suck on that... so they attach to the eyes making the poor shark eventually blind.

I don't believe you ate that, its just out of the last Alien film wardrobe

lovely. Eye sucking parasites...

The close up mouth shot kinda reminds me of the worm thing in star wars.

You know with Jabbas floating palace and that, think its return of the jedi but not sure. Being a long time since I seen em.

Old people are 'suckers' for that stuff... its smoked and pickled in vinegar/oil.

And i ate it, wasn't even very bad, i can imagine it actually being somewhat good when still fresh and warm from the smoking. Funny thing is the "spine" of the creature was cartilaginoid instead of brittle like other small fish have. (Yes you eat the whole thing, all of it)

A delicacy in Northern Portugal (Minho). Plates served either Arroz de Lampreia or the Lampreia à Bordaleza. The last with blood....

Mmmm... stop wetting my apetite!

[Shendemiar]

I've never fully recovered from my last Portugese delicacy-eating-session with Fernando... Chorizo boiled in wine, olive oil and beans & floury chicken sausages... Lumps 'Nando called cheese that we eated the liquid stuff with spoons from the cracks in the shell... thick and hard bricks we had to use drills to get oieces out of it that smelled like rotten heel of plagued elephant... I've never eaten so much fat in one go before or after ;D

But they were good and i sometimes treat myself buying these artifacts whenever i can get anything distantly similar from here.

[SkulkrinBait]

Sounds great.

;D

Many might not beleive me, but the best place in Europe to eat is in Portugal. Cheap and a mouthful...yes you dont beleive me, but yet its true ;D
