A ham radio friend in Australia sent me a case of Kangaroo Tail

quite different. I haven't seen it at Publix or Piggly Wiggly.

The wonderful Italians used to try to feed us RAT from the street
vendors when I was a young Navy boy. I never ate any of it,
though.

I'm sure we've all eaten some really gross stuff put in our food
by the disgruntled food service employees, especially in the
finer restaurants rich folks like Harry eat in. They spit in it,
you know. Most are never caught.

I've never seen you in Krystal's or Waffle House...too "fine" for you?

And smoked oysters, too!



Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....oysters......raw and still wiggling. I
learned all about oysters from Mike Cushing, an old friend of my
grandfather and a commercial oysterman in Ft Myers, FL.....

Mike thought he was gonna gross out a Yankee teenager by taking
me out on his dock after we'd gotten 3 bushels of oysters from
his prime bank in the river. "What you dooz is cut off this
shell, then scoop 'im out laik dis but leave him on the halfshell
he came out of." Then he put that oyster on the half shell in
the pan. "Den, you dooz da same ting to dis guy except when you
scoop him out you...." and he swallowed the live oyster whole.

Not to be outdone, or outgrossed, I opened one up and put it in
the pan, then scooped out the next and ate him whole, just like
Mike "tole" me to. At that instant, I became an "OK kid", as he
tole my grandfather, later.

By the time we brought the pan full of oysters up the dock to the
charcoal grill, Mike and I had already eaten lunch....(c; We had
lunch at his oyster banks the next day, right out of the
Caloosahatchie. After we got back and sold them, he handed me a
some money and said, "Here, dis yoas. You now an oysterman." It
was a great vacation. My hands came home all cut up and bloodied
but I didn't care....(c;

I'm happy to report you can still see real Florida Crackers
sitting on their docks along the ICW, in front of their redneck
homes with all the dead pickup trucks in the yard.....right next
door to some really rich Yankees with manicured lawns, expensive
cars. The Crackers' kids were having great fun diving into the
ICW off the dock, screaming and yelling. I felt sorry for the
rich Yankees kids. Their dock looked like noone was ever allowed
to even sit on it, much less do cannonballs off it.....

I doubt if that price is still good. This was in
1970.


I doubt it either. Move the decimal to the right one place and
multiply by 3....(c; That's closer....even though I never saw the
place. The 50c Bud you washed it down with isn't 50c
either...dammit.

We live about 1,000 feet from the Caloosahatchie. The red neck homes
are getting fewer and farther apart as the river gets "discovered".
The big houses don't all belong to yankees either. Some of those real
estate, orange grove and cattle guys have done OK also.

That's too bad; the "crackers" probably are the only real people around
there.

Hop on down to a specialty shop and special order it.

Another urban myth. Those weren't rats. They were pasta raised mice.

Did you know that there is more cattle in Florida than in Texas?

Yup, if you go down U.S. 27, you'll see miles and miles and boring
miles of nothing but ranch land on each side from south of S.R. 60 to
south of the lake.
