To me, bugs are almost more appetizing than some shell fish.

Thanks, SunkenCiv!
Neanderthals obviously didn’t like the crab diet because they all suddenly left and disappeared from Earth.
Proto-Marylanders
Cave crabs. Man, I hate those guys.
I don’t much care for seafood.
I must be a caveman.
“”Our results add an extra nail to the coffin of the obsolete notion that Neanderthals were primitive cave dwellers who could barely scrape a living off scavenged big-game carcasses,” said Nabais.”
More worthless “research”. Like Homo Sapiens to which they are related it is not surprising that they would be omnivores. It’s also not surprising that they had fire for cooking. Does this anthropologist think proof is required to show that Neanderthals didn’t spend 24/7/365 in a cave? That they had to go out and hunt? This was known decades ago.
I get that. I feel kind of sketchy about seafood. Some I love, but fish itself...I can only eat fish whose flesh is firm and white when cooked, and if I even have a remote suspicion that seafood might be old, off, or...”fishy” I won’t touch it.
I do like shellfish of all kinds except oysters.
I completely understand why people don’t enjoy shellfish.
That said, I think those people watching me who were from Iowa and such, were put off by the process of smashing the crab claws with the mallet.
I think for them, it was a little too close to the Gallagher routine where he smashes watermelons with a giant mallet, and everyone in the front row gets covered with the red pulp!
I kind of think it’s more you like to eat what you grow up with.
When I was young we always butchered a steer or two every year, maybe a hog, and some chickens, ducks, or rabbits. We’d eat that with the vegetables that came out of the garden.
So, a good steak with enough grease to drip off your chin is food to me.
Neandthals who lived next to salt water ate what they had plenty of and liked it. Neanderthals who lived on the Asian steppes ate aurochs and mammoth steaks, and they liked that.
I must come from the steppe Neanderthals.
I like that… We must be from the same Neanderthal clan… The “Steppe” tribe… :-)
Humans, in many cultures, practiced infanticide, and that is well documented, unlike the case for the Neanderthals, unless you interviewed some of them
Take it up with the anthropologists who came up with that theory.
Was that a quote from the article? You should have made that plain if so.
Get lost, boomer.
Blue crabs were meant to be ripped open ... there’s even a little tab on the bottom.
Of course...that isn’t what they deliver the mallets for, as you probably know!
So I tried to apologize but you are a nasty piece of work evidently.
