But it is rhythmical and chanted.... so a form of music without precise notes... :) A fun piece.... :)

Yeah, I suppose, if you think of stuff like
rap as music.

That's not exactly rap, either.... :)

Rhythmical and chanted, so.

Or make them. It may take a lot of oil
and a bit of space, but on the other hand
it might be something that worked okay in
a Presto fryer (which I basically don't
have much use for).

And which I don't have.... the oil, the space or the Presto fryer,
for that matter.... ;) I'll just look for them at some local
restaurant... ;)

It may be possible to do a modified version
of them in an oven-fry with chilled canapes
sprayed with oil and put into a very hot oven.

the real thing. in recent years my travels
have introduced me to many snacks made with
shrimp paste or fish paste and a surprising

I haven't found that yet.

Someday you might run across something similar... never know... ;)

Probably made with Spam.

I've had supposedly seafood things that might

manager at Woodman's about using rancid oil. The
spineless thief blamed his teenage help, claiming
they'd forgotten to change the oil (believe me,
the stuff hadn't been fit to eat in days). We got
our money back and a bunch of credit to be used at
the bar upstairs, plus we got to keep the food (we
ended up dumping it in the trash in front of the
employees). Why the rest of the customers didn't
call them out is a mystery; also a mystery is how
it manages to stay in business. Uniess the dining
public basically lacks taste buds.

Or discernment.... Was that at the Clam Crawl that I got to...? It
sounds vaguely familiar....

Yeah - not the most enjoyable picnic ever, but at least
the echo company and some of the clams were good.

Thanks for checking on them.... :) It's good to know that
he's doing ok in that heat.... and enterprisingly using
his engineering skills... :)

Seemed to work. He didn't say anything about
Kevin or Greg, so I presume they didn't croak.
