How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

Definitely agree with Ben
soft-shelled crabs out of the Chesapeake or caught directly out of the Middle River (just north of Baltimore) behind our house eons ago, and
Maryland Crab Cakes
You haven't lived until you tried 'em.
Not sure how the phrase "you are what you eat" impacts on this, though.
With all of these "fish-related" names......is someone trying to say something about my bridge game?

I have to confess I like the food thingies (see my avatar pic, hehe 
) 
But, I'd like if every person could pick their food: may I have "Piadina" ?
As an aside:
I am sure Ron was a bit disappointed because he would like much better WINE names.
Ron, how would it be like if rather than "Mom's dish" your avatar caption was "Montepulciano 19xx" ??

I keep seeing your avatar, and I still can't figure it out. It looks like it could be a guy ralphing or trying to inhale a small chicken head first. Not sure which would be more disturbing

Hehe.
It's a picture of GREAT italian comedian from Naples, very active in the 50s-60s, nicknamed "Totò".
He is eating spaghettis with his hands.
I had to crop the pic to include it in the Avatar.
See : http://www.votantoni...eria/foto77.htm
for the full image.

I like the culinary description and ranks =)
Think someone asked last year for these to be changed regularly--I think we change it whenever we have a lot of time or get bored or Ben posts too much and requires another new rank.
Here are details:
0: snail porridge--snail porridge with jabugo ham on shaved fennel
10: roast foie gras--with almond fluid gel and cherry chamomile
50: sole veronique--sole veronique with pont-neuf potatoes
100: creme brulee--creme brulee with fire
250: mee pok--flat noodles with fish balls, meat balls, minced pork and seasoning
500: hainanese chicken rice--try it at your local restaurant
1000: chili crab--fresh crab in peranakan chilli sauce
1500: durian cake--durian mousse cake
2000: mom's dishes--served with sweet memories
2500: moet & chandon
3000: krug
3500: dom perignon
4000: inniskillin
4500: Aquafina
5000: Ben
5500: Bennier
6000: Benniest

I think the "Ben" dishes are cool (They're not real dishes, now, are they?) But who else has a declarative, a superlative, and a superior rating associated with his name? GO BEN!
That Mee Pok sounds interesting......
Another thing. Look at the criteria for Aquafina!!! What one has to do or accomplish these days just to get a drink of water.......................................

And make sure you floss and brush your teeth afterwards
Cherdano, Hainanese chicken rice is ok but over-rated, in my view. Try Laksa which isn't on the bbo menu, and don't miss the Durian cake. If you can find the fruit, don't be afraid to try. It stinks to high heaven and tastes divine.
Durian has an added advantage: it gets rid of all your house pests
Not allowed on aeroplanes or hotels in Asia.Taking this thread seriously Dog.

K I have request:
Why the heck is a fruit known for dessert - stuck with a main course?! COME ON, I want mine to be the ONLY one with "key lime pie, of course". :-)

I have to say Ben Luis, my monogamous life style (well only saying that in case a certain person reads this thread hee hee) makes me want to avoid crabs in Maryand or any other state.
PS As for Maryland chocolate chip cookies.....turn on the oven and bake them baby (sorry, in my Austin Powers persona now)

I post and post (ok, 84 is not one of the highest numbers of postings here...), and am still Sole Veronique. Enough *brrrbbbsss*, fish is bad for me. How much more is necessary to become Crema Catalan?

Very nice, Roland! It is a coconutmilk-chilli-rice dish (or so), sometimes with fish, too....
But I want sweets, melting slowly on the tongue
