Well there can be no chance of mistaking them for horse meat - what about worms.

The night shot is gorgeous, but the picture of the elvers... YECH!!! [:[ Wiggly squiggly... *shudder*

Sooo.... I guess there is no 'cleaning' them before you eat them... guts and all...

Have you eaten them? How are they?

About WurzelDave
WurzelDave I'm a 30 something 'wurzel' who lives in South West England (UK) in the county of Somerset (next to Devon), famous for scrumpy cider, Cheddar cheese, The Wurzels (well worth going to see) & birth county of 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button.Like the rest of the West Country, Somerset has many areas, places & landscapes worth a visit such as Glastonbury Tor & Abbey ruins, Quantock hills, West Somerset Railway, Cheddar Gorge, & Exmoor, to name but a very few.Favourite holiday destiations are Iceland (see alot of photos) & the Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi Sweden (also see photos). Still a lover of the flim camera, my first camera was an Halina 110 camera which you could buy flip flashes for! Now have a Canon 3000V SLR film camera, i also have Canon powershot A3300 & SX150 digital cameras which are useful for close up macro shots & also makes film 'last' longer!
