The Food Monologues

On TV last night, we watched a program called Autumn Hairy Crab - a typical food program on the Chinese satellite channel. You got it, an entire television show devoted to this crustacean - how to cook it and eat it. Now this crab sells for about £20 in London restaurants and is a high delicacy, imported from China. Compared to the brown crabs caught off the coast of Britain - they are much smaller and have hairy legs and claws. The program proceeded to show how you can identify a good crab, how to eat it and the many ways in which dishes can be made from it. All mouthwatering stuff and at that price, I should hope it tastes nice too!
