Culinary Russian Roulette

Also known as shellfish. We've had a bucketful over the last few days: Oysters; the best prawn cocktail I've ever had; spaghetti al vongole; and scallops every which way - queenies with bacon, hand-dived plumptious ones with black pudding and celeriac mash, and yesterday evening on a bed of pea puree.

Anne spent all night re-visiting these tasty little morsels, and is regurgitating the final clam as I type.

And as much as I'm deeply sympathetic I'm also half-waiting my turn. I remember being one of the last to succumb to the Great Horsham Oyster Plague back in '95...
