They can be a bit fiddly to prepare, & it took me many attempts before i was brave enough to ignore instructions in cook books/video's/leaflets & just go by instinct. All i seem to disguard are the gills (Dead Man's Fingers) & any brown meat near the mouth which I hope will be it's stomach. I've never been ill from eating crab, so I must get it right. Actually, lobster is easier to prepare, less strange looking bits.<br /><br />And I'm happy to know that someone else makes fish-cakes like me, which collapse. It did sound a tasty meal though.<br /><br />Have you tried reheating the rice in a microwave?Karenjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759086564626599394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-88218226330821792532011-05-17T22:39:58.106+01:002011-05-17T22:39:58.106+01:00You do eat well.

Beeston Has a great Chinese take away called Ko Sing, and for a curry, we always go to Sharma's. <br />Like you, we try not to have too many take aways, beside the cost there is the fat factor to think about!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349828855153546542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-88012516249299842112011-05-17T18:03:24.117+01:002011-05-17T18:03:24.117+01:00An enjoyable read Phil.
