Squid burgers sound pretty good to me. I made a fried abalone burger
once and it was really good.

1988? Give it time.

My wife stuffs squid with a pork, cabbage, vermicelli, and other
secret ingredients mixture and fries it.
We get squid from the shrimp boats, it's sometimes part of the bycatch.

The cartoon may be more a testament to 'marketing'.

Maybe you don't market "squid burgers" to the squeamish U.S. but,
instead, sell "Calamari Burgers."

http://www.katysplacecarmel.com/calamari.html

Calamari Jack Burger
The most popular Burger at Katy's with:
Gourmet Calamari filet, lightly breaded and grilled with Jack cheese,
tartar sauce
$14.95

Squid, or Calamari, is rather popular in many parts of the world.

Yep. I have calamari in some form or another probably once a week.

I used to be able to get abalone, but it seems to have vanished,
victim of endangered species restrictions.

I also often joke that the first 'caveman' to eat lobster must have
been very, very, very, hungry to imagine that nasty bug looking thing
was edible.

I have a pot big enough to boil 6 at a time, on the side burner on my
barbie... on the left side in this photo...

Domed covers on the right are warmers that I made from Sam's Club

underneath... so potent I can boil water in the reservoirs... I need
to throttle those down some ;-)

Lobster being 'poor man's food' is a very popular story, along with it
being salmon, but culinary historians dispute it's validity because
there aren't any records to that effect. It seems to be a 'nostalgic'
story invented in the 19'th century when lobster and salmon were
becoming more scarce. You know, like the modern nostalgia of "I
remember when gasoline was 25 cents a gallon," etc. (While
'technically true' the problem with the later is it doesn't equate the
purchasing power of 25 cents 'back then' with current value.)

But I DO remember when gasoline was 19 cents/gallon ;-)

Bought it in Boston when I was a student at MIT.

And I can also remember a Cadillac pulling up beside my Renault

when it grows up?"

Dauphine and the driver saying, "Sonny. What's that car going to be
when it grows up?"

LOL Sounds like it could be a line out of Bill Cosby's 200 MPH
routine. hehe

One of my favorite parts is what could be called "Revenge of the
Volkswagen" with Cosby recounting when his Ferrari was disabled at the
side of the road. "Now, it's bad enough I have a Ferrari that won't
go... but a Volkswagen comes along Doesn't just go by, no, he backs
up and yells out the window 'I get 100 miles to the gallon and if a
fan belt breaks I use a rubber band.'... putta putta putta putta
outta"

The Dauphine seems to have mixed reviews but in an article that also
sounds a bit like a Cosby routine Time magazine is less than
enthusiastic.

"The most ineffective bit of French engineering since the Maginot
Line, the Renault Dauphine was originally to be named the Corvette,
tres ironie. It was, in fact, a rickety, paper-thin scandal of a car
that, if you stood beside it, you could actually hear rusting. Its
most salient feature was its slowness, a rate of acceleration you
could measure with a calendar. It took the drivers at Road and Track
32 seconds to reach 60 mph, which would put the Dauphine at a severe
disadvantage in any drag race involving farm equipment. The fact that
the ultra-cheap, super-sketchy Dauphine sold over 2 million copies
around the world is an index of how desperately people wanted cars.
Any cars."

http://www.time.com/time/specials/20...657681,00.html

Don't feel bad, though. Cadillac made the "50 worst" list twice and
there's even a Ferrari sharing in the honors.


In the one year I had the Dauphine in Massachusetts it did acquire a
few rust spots.

When I arrived in AZ, the rust spots changed from brown to gray and
never proceeded any further... I guess the extreme heat "passivated"
the wounds.

I don't remember the Dauphine being that slow, but I'm an aggressive
driver.

Tom Frederiksen (my cubicle mate at Motorola) would complain, when we
went out for lunch, that the engine sounded like he was being chased
by 100 lawnmowers ;-)

You can still buy and eat abalone, if you must. Nobody will call you a
loon for doing so. It'll likely be the product of a controlled harvest
of non-endangered species. Your kids might be able to do the same,
when they're your age. Knock on wood.

I lived in Destin, Florida for a while. I never went into the gulf,

On a military base? Gas in the US in '73 was around 40-50 cents, I
think. I got it in Alberta in ~'78 for ~50 cents (for a real gallon,
so 40 cents a US gallon), but that was remarkably low.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

On a military base? Gas in the US in '73 was around 40-50 cents, I
think. I got it in Alberta in ~'78 for ~50 cents (for a real gallon,
so 40 cents a US gallon), but that was remarkably low.

Speaking to Terrell, or me? My 19 cents was Jentane brand in Boston
(in 1960).

Mike. I can't imagine (taxed) gas that cheap. Maybe in Saudi or
Venezuela.

How about 8.9 cents a gallon in 1973?

Huh? I can remember 19 cents in 1960


At FGt. Rucker Alabama. On base was 8.9 cents. Off base it was
13.9, with the 5 cent in taxes. Two refineries were having a 'Gas
War'. A month later I was in Alaska wher it was almost $2.00 a gallon,
outside the gate at Ft Greely..

to walk by the seafood section at the grocery store.

Which might explain some of your health issues. Seafood is _loaded_
with trace minerals very important to the body.

I had trout for lunch yesterday ;-)


I get sick around seafood. I could eat a few types as a kid, but
even those make me sick these days.

You must have been in a special place with a gas war to boot because
the national average in 1973 was around half a buck. That is, before
the embargo.


The emargo hit enroute to my next duty station.

The 'good old days' of gas lines.


I wouldn't know. I had two weeks travel time and left my '66 GTO at
home, half way between army bases. it was mothballed, in my dad's
garage for my last year of active duty. I did very little driving in
Alaska, after passing the required winter survival training course so I
could keep my military driver's license.

I worked at a gas station from 71 to 73, during the prices wars, the
lowest we ever got was 18 cents a gallon. (Michigan)

The lowest "gas war" prices i can remember is 17 cents a gallon back
around 1967, normal was about 32 IIRC. Silicon valley though.

Squid burgers sound pretty good to me. I made a fried abalone burger
once and it was really good.

1988? Give it time.

The cartoon may be more a testament to 'marketing'.

Maybe you don't market "squid burgers" to the squeamish U.S. but,
instead, sell "Calamari Burgers."

http://www.katysplacecarmel.com/calamari.html

Calamari Jack Burger
The most popular Burger at Katy's with:
Gourmet Calamari filet, lightly breaded and grilled with Jack cheese,
tartar sauce
$14.95

Squid, or Calamari, is rather popular in many parts of the world.

Yep. I have calamari in some form or another probably once a week.

I used to be able to get abalone, but it seems to have vanished,
victim of endangered species restrictions.

...Jim Thompson

I can still get it, but it is farmed.
