Good to know !!
15th is whitebait season here in Hawkes Bay
Whitebait...yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm, and that is about I can say I really...:D:D
It's my birthday on the Twentieth so you better get you presents on your way quick smart!
Call me a heathen but I find whitebait to be completely underwhelming? Doesn't really taste like ... anything?
/awaits "oh but you must try <insert person> whitebait.
Brings back memory's of my days as a beater. 4 beats a day. bastards always pushed me to to out to the outside end of the line.walk twice as far as anyone else, walking through knee deep heather having to duck for cover when you got near the shooting butts when some retard city shooter didn't obey the stop shooting order and had to have a shot at that last grouse when the beaters were within range. Thing i was about 12 or 13 year old wish I was still as fit
Maybe @EeeBees could put Ryan on the path to whitebait righteousness?
Ryan, Eeebees is a world renown expert at converting raw produce into culinary delights. If any of us food loving men are ever lucky enough to meet her we should prostrate ourselves and worship the ground upon which she walks in the vain hope that she will feed us just a morsel from one of her delightful dishes. Were she to ever prepare whitebait for you I would expect you to become such a fan that you would stake out a riverside claim and invest in a net.
@Rushy
Burp! :P
