How does that effect the taste? I used to love Langoustine but sometimes because I lived in Grenoble they were past their best after bouncing around in a truck for a day or two.Username Taken wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 6:11 amNo. Langoustine live in saltwater. Yabbies are fresh water creatures.

Re: yabbies?
We looked at farming them about ten years ago. We visited an NGO in Takeo that had several tanks and were trying to breed them to supply to farmers as another crop. There was an abandoned place down there with several huge ponds but they were so overgrown that pumping the water out and refurbishing them was uneconomic. We knew the Vietnamese were good at farming them, so many came from there to the Central market. In Australia banana benders and sandgropers grow them.
It all looked a bit too difficult and having staff run a rural property would have meant too many would have gone walkabout. Strewth mate those bloody Khmers are galahs aren't they. Would have turned into a dog's breakfast.
Be wicked to bail from Phnom Penh and gone down the bush in the arvo for a cold one though, stopping at the bottleo or the servo on the way. And then thrown some yabbies in the barbie and drunk some piss.
Then hit the frog and toad and pissed off home with the missus and the carpet grub and the tin lids....

Re: yabbies?
friend of mine in Kep raises crawfish and there tasty 
not as good as a Maine lobster but hey.... its Cambodia
“Crayfish” vs. “Crawfish” vs. “Crawdad”: What’s the Difference?
crawfish is the most common name for these little critters with about 37% of people in the U.S. using the word. In terms of regionality, crawfish is mostly used in the Southern United States, especially in Louisiana, where the crawfish is the official state crustacean.
If you’re in the U.S., a crayfish is the same thing as a crawfish. It just happens to be the second most common word for these animals in the country. Crayfish is more commonly used in the American North and Northeast.
https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles ... difference
Whether you call them crayfish, crawfish, crawdads, mudbugs, mountain lobsters, river lobsters, or yabbies—yes some people call them yabbies—the chances are that you have a friend that calls them one thing, and you think it sounds weird. Here at Bayou Boils & Catering, we know that Cajun catering is more than just crawfish boils and fried catfish.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: yabbies?
Well, actually, No!
A cockatoo, aka a sulphur crested cockatoo is white with a yellow crest on its head.
A galah, as far as birds go, is pink and grey. I believe Americans call them pink and grey parrots. In Oz they are Galahs.

Took me a while to figure out what a Strayan was! Mid-cheshire accent queen's English is my limit as far as patois/colloquisms are concerned.

Thanks for the update on Strayan lingo. Outside of Australia these "galahs" are known as Roseate Cockatoos.Username Taken wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 4:29 pmWell, actually, No!
