  1. Sophia, I can feel my mouth watering merely reading thru your Guide, which is very instrucitve. Will try it out this wkend but with a bit more chilli as 2 teaspoons wont make me hot for the rest of the day.

    Incidentally, I kill crabs differently & instantly, by pouring hot water on the crus & its pincers will fall off automatically, a bonus.

    My butty beng’s method is unorthodox…..he walks the crab round the kitchen till it exhausts itself to death but usually the crab walks faster, further and soon it’s lost…….
