I feel the need, the need to feed
My face with fruits de mer!
It IS a real passion, I don’t want to ration
Myself to a pauper’s share!
Pardon me whilst I grab for the winkles, the crab,
The lobster, the scallops (the Coquilles St Jacques),
I need to just cram in a winkle, a clam,
And, after that ‘snack’, give my lips a good smack.
I just cannot skimp on that prawn or that shrimp,
And nor can you wean me off langoustine,
Now let me just foister for that lonesome oyster
But a standard snail just shouldn’t be seen!
I cannot resist, cannot cease or desist,
By all that’s holy, I cannot eat slowly,
I’m into my stride, that mussel can’t hide,
So squeeze a lemon and pass the aioli!

Genius! I’m just near The Ritz Hotel as I write this.. Wonder if it’s on the menu? I’m now starving !
Aren’t most things on the menu at The Ritz my lovely?! Just don’t go into work smelling of garlic!
Love it. Love seafood and not nearly as fattening as the chocolate I crave…
Thank you Alessa….yes indeed…far better for us!
Love the photos!
Thank you
Seafood is near and dear to my Heart. This brings back fond memories of my time spent at our house in Mexico, which is in a small fishing village. When we’re there we meet the fishing boats when they return in the morning with their catch. We purchase directly from the fishermen. That is where I first started eating fish for breakfast as well as dinner. I think it’s time for me to take a trip.
How wonderful William! Many moons ago, I spent a month travelling around Mexico on honeymoon. From the Baja California coast to the Carribbean, It is a country I love. Where’s your house there?
I’d like to sit and eat that platter full of fish with you, Caro, while you talk and laugh and compose poems on the spur. And then I’d like to go to Chef William’s house in Mexico and buy fish from the fishing boats! So much to do this week!
How splendid would that be Amy? We’ll have to plan ahead!
