I often wonder about the guy who lost the bet and had to be the first person to eat one of those things.

What are the Brits whining about? Cook it, eat it. It’s not like it’s made of lead.

Does this apply to Muslims as well? We’re talking about a hell of a lot more damage from them.

If they start harvesting them, then they’ll never eradicate it.

Chef Gordon Ramsey did a youtube piece on the invasion of Britain by the American Crayfish.

Well, it is from China, so you could understand why they would think so.

Unfortunately, after about 13 centuries of research, no one has discovered any use for Muslims.

Couldn’t they be used to fill the holes in the banks that the crabs dig?

Go ahead and eat seafood that may have foraged in the mud at the bottom of the Thames - mud that is some of the most toxic in the world.

Be sure not to test it first, just chug it down.

That would require some sort of hole-filling crab.
