Have a large head(of a calf or veal) cleaned nicely without taking off the skin, divide the chop from the front of the head, take out the tongue, (which is best when salted,) put on the head with a gallon of water, the hock of a ham or a piece of nice pork, four or five onions, thyme, parsley, cloves and nutmeg, pepper and salt, boil all these together until the flesh on the head is quite tender, then take it up, cut all into small pieces, take the eyes out carefully, strain the water in which it was boiled, add half a pint of wine and a gill of mushroom catsup, let it boil slowly till reduced to two quarts, thicken it with two spoonsful of browned flour rubbed into four ounces of butter, put the meat in, and after stewing it a short time, serve it up. The eyes are a great delicacy.

boil them alive like lobsters? It's basically turtle, isn't it?

I wonder if a tortoise would be any good?

That was oysters, maybe.

your bath for a day or two before comsumption. Alive, of course, while changing the water on a regular basis so they can swim about and use it to cleanse their innerworkings.

f**k off basically.

Filthy things, really. Don't understand why anyone who wasn't starving would bother with a snail. A whelk, on the other hand, has a certain charm.

"Easter eggs? f**k off! Here's this muddy-tasting fish with a million tiny bones and weirdly gelatinous, green tinged flesh instead. Happy Easter!"

Although, of course (coarse?), pike are lone predators and don't school.
