I might regret this......

The title had me excited
Thinking you were going to do something outrageous like getting a fist tattooed on your neck.

Or worse!

Not until Hell freezes over! Body 'art' will never be my thing, but if others want some, crack on. And no lads, we don't need pics!

I've always fancied a tattoo but never had the nerve to endure the pain even got the image I wanted doing.

Not just the Russians, there's plenty of local fisherman who dredge. And then whine about how bad the fishing is and blame anyone but themselves.

The best description of dredging I've read is that's it's like driving a bulldozer through an orchard to harvest the fruit that falls into the cab.

Things are changing slowly though. They are highly regulated and the dredges are being altered. I know this as fact as my son has been involved with trialling the new dredges.

Fishing trawlers to tattoos... this site never fails to amaze (or amuse!) me

I first tried an oyster when I was working in Paris, a restaurant called Au Petite Riche. It serves Loire valley style food, if you order pigs cheek, you get half a pigs face on your plate winking at you

We were there celebrating the graduation of a colleague's son and this big seafood pyramid arrived. I dodged the oysters until somebody spotted me avoiding them and insisted I try one. It was kind of on my to do list and I'd had a couple of drinks. I think it was just with a squeeze of lemon and straight down, no big deal, quite small oysters.

Next time I tried them was in New York, the oyster bar in Grand Central station. It looks just like a big seafood restaurant, but in the back right hand corner there's a small bar where you can get micro-brewery beers and there's an oyster menu. usually about 10 different types on the menu. I used to work in NY a couple of times a year so used to meet up with colleagues after work for a few beers and plate of assorted oysters. Some of them are too big to swallow in one so you have to chew them, that was the hardest bit to get over but not bad with a few shallots or dash of pepper sauce.

I don't do that much travelling now, the company I work for got bought out so I'm a much smaller fish in a bigger pond, we would have had to move to Atlanta to continue up the greasy pole and the kids were getting to high school age so gave it a miss. Last time I had oysters were in London about 4 weeks ago, I can take them or leave them but they do seem a good idea after a few beers

I would rather eat oysters than have a tattoo, that's just me, I don't mind them on others. The missus has a tattoo, she hid it from her dad for about 20 years, he only saw it a few years ago

Personally I hate tattoos, male or female, when I see young girls covered in them I think what are you going to look like later in life? Especially when they are on the face, which seems to be the fashion around here.

Tattoos on people’s bodies are one thing, tattoos on folks faces - nah

Donkeys ears? Now your talking, taste like chicken..

we were in the French Alps a few weeks back, donkey ears were the speciality of a butcher we passed…

I could easily walk past those!
I've seen pigs noses at a market in strasbourg but never figured out what I'd do with them if I bought some?
I've seen a goat testicle soup stall in Jakarta, with strings of them hanging up. They're supposed to be very tasty but somehow I could never bring myself to try them!

Pigs cheek... best bit

Pigs cheek... best bit

Which cheek?

 

[Anguz]

On the face, but the other end tastes good as well
