You do make some wise decisions then Darlo
Scampi's bloody weird anyway.. I bet 90% of the people who eat it couldn't tell you what it is. Weird little pseudo-lobstery shrimp thing in batter please..
Back in the halcyon days of the Fitton takeover, an end of season bash was held in The Old Bank, black tie do, for fans to meet players etc.
Nice little class system....cheap seats downstairs, more expensive going upwards. However even the cheap seats had copious langoustine around the place as part of the buffet.
There was a good turn out of TEFers, some extant and others departed (as in no longer on forum), it was encouraging to see that next to no TEFers, had an clue what the prawns were for, preferring the drumsticks and pork pies.
I'll hold my hand up to admitting, that I've had sufficient exposure to middle class life, to be able to make my way through a plate of fruit de mer.
The breaded stuff is mainly padded out with pangasius, the Mekong cat fish, these are farmed by the river dwellers. The Mekong is a dirty old thing, and the cat fish grow pretty big.
I had a fillet of pangasius, 3 or so years ago in Fratellos, very nice too, lovely sauce, gave a taster to my Bulgarian lady, 2 hours later she had an analphylactic reaction, very strange, obviously allergic to the Mekong chemical soup.
