Morecambe Bay shrimps have a distinctive unique flavour. Living in Lancaster near Glasson Dock as a kid we ate loads and loads of them along with other bottom feeding crustacea.,such as mussels and winkles.That was years before the Chinese cockle pickers came over to drown themselves in those treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay..Eating the shellfish never did me any harm,although increasingly in later life others have often strangely commented that I'm sometimes full of sh*t.

It is no wonder that you always have a golden glow Davy, Those shrimps are full of Nuclear Radiation, from Sellafield`s outflows into the sea.
A friend who is /was a fisherman off there had his catch tested with a geiger counter and all the Prawns , shrimps and fish were full of it.
I bet you glow in the dark. very handy if you have a power cut. just stand in the corner with a lamp shade on your head.:cool:

If someone said list what you regard as British unique food , Morecambe bay shrimps would be high on the list along with Gower peninsular cockles , cromer crab , and a few other Britisg specialities .
Kippers and pickled onions JS
Rob, p6 they call the Sth African passport I am told 'Black Mamba'as no country likes them...Agree with you as to French control. We could not get back to France recently all trains & planes booked so for a change took a coach, cost 35stg each. It was surprisingly very comfortable & painless. Yes took 8hrs I think, but? Stopped at Cheriton for passport check, UK stamped hers as departure but French did nothing. odd? & nothing in France when we drove up from tunnel no check of passports at all!
Irony is I have come in through Heathrow many times on the Cathay P flight from Hong Kong arriving 6.30-7am, walked straight through with Aus passport, no one at boarder control or customs, go figure?
