Stay Away From Those Guernsey Shankers, Stuart!
 

Welcome, Stuart! Thanks for your comments on our site and also for your first post. Keep'em coming!

I had heard the name Guernsey, but I couldn't have located it before today. So, on your inspiration, I went to our Frapper Map, searched through the members, found your name, clicked and -- voila'! -- there you are. Like the photo, too! By the way, for the record, you were Member #100 on the map! I encourage all LBG members who have not put their name up to do so now. http://www.frappr.com/thetgmworldmap It only takes a minute, and its fun to see where everybody is!

I did a little more homework on Guernsey and found that, not surprisingly, the island's restaurants do a robust seafood business. One of the more popular items seems to be crab, which the Guerns refer to by its French name: chancre. The only problem with that word is its pronunciation...

Shanker.

:(

Well Yoda
 

You certainly have done your homework, one little thing, I can't beleive I am going to be correcting you! "the Britons" actually just call it edible crab or brown crab, we Guerns!! call it chancre.

Now if you want a truly local local dish which you will not find in England or France check out our Ormers!!

Ormer Stuff And A Rousing LBG Welcome To KOC
 

Hey, fluff, that Ormer Casserole looks pretty good. Anything that's lasted about 400 years can't be all bad! I've got a hunch I might find myself out your way sometime soon. If that happens, we'll load up on some of those shankers -- I mean, chancres :D -- and the Ormers. From the looks of those critters, though, we're going to need to wash'm down with something a little stronger than 'Co-Cola.' Any ideas? :cool:

Hey, while I'm here, welcome to our newest Frapper Member, KOC, from Hong Kong, China. Welcome aboard, KOC, Frapper Member #101. Please...post!
