OK, those DinoToes are seriously disgusting-looking.
Pim says...
Casey,
They are percebes, a kind of shellfish. Quite yum actually. I wrote about it here.

What are those prehistoric snacks? They must be crunchy...
Pim says...
Hmm...I'm not a big fan of them to tell the truth. They are horseshoe crabs - they actually are prehistoric, one of the oldest creatures on earth. In Thailand the eggs are eaten, usually crushed into spicy nam-prik relishes. They are used more for the scent and the flavor, which is a bit metallic to me, and stinky too. Ugh.

Great article for this Halloween day! Are those ducks? I've never seen birds flattened like that!

Pim, you're so funny when you say they're scary...

The picture we have up today seems to be scaring some folks:

Pim:
The "mangda talay" do look scary, but you could have included a picture of "mangda" as well. When I was learning Thai I thought I was getting horseshoe crab (which I thought was very adventurous), but ended up with mangda instead. Now *that* was scary! ;-)
Love the blog!

I just had horseshoe crab in a couple of days ago in Penang, I didn't like it at all (first time). I had always avoided eating it because it looks scary...

Just love these pics!
Shortly before Halloween, I was in Healdsburg (one of my favorite places in California!) and ordered up my usual plate of barbecued oysters. To my surprise, they came arranged in a goblinesque pattern that resembled a jack-o-lantern! Wish I'd had my camera to add to your photos.
BTW, check out Healdsburg if you haven't!

The prehistoric horseshoe crab is plentiful along Delaware and Maryland coastlines, where I grew up. Their tail, that scary-sharp protuberance called a telson, is dangerous only if you happen to step on it with bare feet. Eating? I wouldn't think they'd be worth the trouble of catching for what little meat they'd yield.
