Re: Foods you love and hate
I agree with those who say that crustaceans looks disgusting.
I class them as marine insects as well (yes, I know they are technically closer to spiders  )I mean if you seen a prawn or a lobster scurrying along your carpet, you'd recoil in disgust before stamping on the horrid little thing with your shoe  In terms of seafood, I only eat Haddock, Whiting or Salmon. (I had some Haddock for lunch actually. Baked in breadcrumbs with baby potatoes cooked in parsley butter with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower) I've eaten Sea Bass, Cod and Lemon Sole before but not regularly. Prawns, crab, lobster, oysters and other revolting creatures belong in the sea, not my dining table

I also have a hard time dining if the people I'm with are taking apart lobsters or other assorted sea bugs in front of me. I guess I'm really squeamish, fish with its head still attached does the same to me.  I went to a very "typical" Japanese restaurant a few times cause it's a favorite hang out of my friends, it's not one of those watered down, westernized places and their food is hardcore Japanese stuff. I couldn't believe the fact that they have some sort of seafood material in (or on!) EVERY dish. I couldn't even eat the damn tofu because there was something so odd sprinkled on it that smelled like..rotten fish. They must have hated me, everything I had ordered was untouched and I had to do with the dessert.

Ginger Hello, sweetie. Biggles I have to see you. The door opens, Ginger enters as a terrible poof in camp flying gear, sequins, eye make-up, silver stars on his cheeks. Ginger Yes, Biggles? Biggles Are you a poof Ginger (camp outrage) I should say not. Biggles Thank God for that. Good lad. (Ginger exits) Stout fellow, salt of the earth, backbone of England. Funny, he looks like a poof. (takes off the antlers) Dear Princess Margaret. Pantomime Princess Margaret enters from cupboard. Margaret Hello. Biggles Get back in the cupboard you pantomimetic royal person.

Re: Foods you love and hate
Do I win the camp Biggle's outfit if I get it right?
My guesses are either a) Monthy Python b) You have microphones and cameras secretly set up in Mr Curzon Biggles' house
