Wow, a parent. I didn't figure you for that. :)

But I guess it HAS been mentioned before. The lounge attracts more "mature"(physically and mentally) members than your average bnet crowd.

Jellyfish is as the name suggests. It's got a consistency similar to, I guess, cartilage? You know, when you knaw off those shiny white things on the joint of a chicken bone?

Sea urchin is pretty good too.

I'd love to try paella some day. Haggis too. Both sound fun. Can anyone tell me what a "shepherd's pie" is supposed to be? The one my mother brought home some time back didn't seem like much beyond a regular chicken pie. I was expecting something with maybe sheep guts in it. :P

Sadly, as Bob reported, they don't make it with real shepherds any more. But the pie is good, though not in a real pie shell either. In my experience it is a layer of mashed potatoes on top of ground or finely chopped cooked lamb in gravy. Many people make the dish as a way of reusing leftovers from roast lamb.

In England they are fond kidney pie. Which when I had it was served in a pie crust.

What comes to mind when you describe jellyfish is shark fin soup, which around here is very expensive and hard to find. Even though sharks, like jellyfish, wash up on the beach.

For that matter my son is actually a parent, but to my knowledge my granddaughter has not yet registered on the lounge.

Another topic is what goes into mincemeat pie.

Count, if you're still reading, did you ever find your paper?
