Even though Stuttgart is in southern Germany, I doubt that Baron Munchhausen
would be "whistling Dixie".  Bv)=

He might hum Das Deutschlandlied, though.

Well, yeah. Unless one wants to spend a bunch on air-freight.

Mostly shrimp and oysters (if the beds take a hit). A lot of the panic pricing
has to more to do with fear than reality ... which is going to be bad enough. I
fail to grasp why people think they have to "worst case" everything. I am
moderately pessimistic and a firm believer in Murphy. But, if I was as bad as
some of the pundits (assuming that they believe what they spew) I'd go suck my
gun barrel.   Bv(=

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Boned Oysters
 Categories: Five, Seafood, Shellfish
      Yield: 2 servings

     12    Oysters; fresh or frozen
      1 c  Flour
    1/2 c  Oil
           Salt & pepper
 
  Use only the large Asiatic oysters caught in the Indian
  Ocean, Black Sea, or the Persian and Arabian gulfs.
   
  Use the delicious white meat only. Discard the round white
  bone sometimes discovered inside the shell -- or give it to
  some Persian. They seem to prefer these bones to gold; they
  call them "pearls".
   
  Drain oysters. Roll in flour. Heat oil until hot in a large
  frying pan. Fry oysters on medium-high heat for 5 minutes
  turning over once. Sprinkle with seasonings and serve.
