Since I'm not a family member and have an aversion to being locked in small spaces, alas, I have no recipe for you. However, if you'll give me an address in S.F. I promise to go and taste until I come up with one. The crabs swimming in garlic butter----they ARE dead; aren't they?
This may sound like a silly question, but there is a Japanese recipe where you take young eels, alive, swimming in water. Add a big block of tofu and turn on the heat. As the water heats up, the eels swim into the tofu. When all eels are in the tofu and dead, the dish is ready to eat. |
