I had 4 chicken wings and a rum/grape spritzer for dinner… does that make me 4 chicken wings and a rum/grape spritzer? it’s nutrient contents perhaps… until those nutrients are utilised, and then what am I?
I feel a crab and (peeled) courgette supper coming on, later on…
No-one whips me into anything or dictates my life and actions, but we can be friends 
Yes… and me.
Eating animals makes you ugly, it’s a fact of nature. There was this vegetarian bitch who was 70 years old, she was hot and as bangable as a 30 year old porn star.
Your choice if you want to be a stone.
A fact of nature? Link please…
Then go find a 70 year old vegetarian to have relations with.
Dinner for the last two days: spiced crab salmon & vegetable broth… light and refreshing.
Merlin’s Magic…fried diced potatoes, green peppers, onions, bacon. After which, melt/mix in loads of shredded cheddar cheese and top with ranch dressing. I am not terribly fond of ranch dressing, but it really makes the dish yummy.
Stop trolling me… you do know what this thread is about, right?
I guess I’m supposed to be crying into my broth right about now.

Leviticus 11:9-12King James Version (KJV)
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
It’s fresh cooked crab… not raw, and the broth is eaten the next day, so overnight… not 2 days later.
Do you not indulge because of the bible, or just because of your own personal preference to refrain?
You’d think that with my ongoing gut woes that I’d be sensitive to such foods, but the only thing I’m sensitive to are the added chemicals in food… I foresee more crab/seafood broth over the warmer coming months… very light on the palette, yet deceivingly filling on the gut.
Here’s the A Shieldmaiden-friendly version… chicken & sweetcorn broth 
Those broth bowls… on order tomorrow… yep… gotta happen.
Onglet steak… with courgette and white sweet-potato accompaniment. I prefer white sweet-potato to orange, like I prefer white yam to yellow… both subtler in flavour, but firmer of texture.

It makes sense. Crabs are scavengers and feed from the bottom of the sea/rivers, on what has settled there and is rotting.
Compare your pictures.
The ‘Shield friendly’ at least looks edible.
Mags, I think you should become a food photographer. Yep, drop all your other hopes and dreams and cave to the pressures of expensive camera/lighting equipment and Photoshop (there’s the big difference) because the crowd is ungrateful of your sharing. Or you could 
to them all.
I don’t require you to be a professional chef and I find it interesting what you can eat. Sorry it’s so little though, we each have our crosses to bear (although with this crowd you may be carrying two). 
All seafood (salmon, mussels, oysters, crab etc.) are farmed… have been for years… not sure about other countries though…
They both look edible, just not to you… due to your seafood bias, or bias in general.
The muddy colour is due to the aubergine, so nothing to do with the crab… that’s an impossibility.
My food concerns and yours are different, and my choices… extremely limited, so no colourful preserved produce for me.
I’m finding it all highly amusing, and will continue to share/to spread the love. 
Thanks WendyD… I’ve gotten used to the limited choices, but my feelings will always be peaks and troughs about it all and the allergy in general.
They are not a cross… now that would be giving them a position of importance, wouldn’t it. Emotional triggering is such a simple and very basic transparent tactic… again, amusing at best.
Corned beef, red cabbage and green cabbage, potatoes and maybe something else. After I root around a bit, let’s see what turns up. 
Had the window of energy opportunity for a bit of presentation today… arranged griddled aubergine and carrots, a stacked duo of pan-fried steak medallions and wings… the braised lettuce was thrown on top after due to my waning interest in constructing the composition being replaced with the need to eat.
