Then why would you order bouillabaisse... it's served in a large bowl
but it's essentially a watery fish broth... and normal folks don't eat
the bivalve shells (those shells would certainly irritate uranus).
Bouillabaisse is one of the lowest calorie foods on a restaurant
menu... and restaurants don't typically serve a very large portion
anyway, at most seafood eaterys it's primarilly served as an appetizer
(soup course), few order it as an entree.

So how did you get to be taller lying down than standing... you got to
weigh over 300 pounds by eating baby portions, eh?

Yoose all are such BSers.. there's not an honest cell in your obeastie
bodies. I seriously doubt any of yoose has ever eaten bouillabaisse,
I'm certain none of you three tons of fun has ever prepared it...
yoose don't even have a clue what it is, obviously, or yoose all
wouldn't be bitching how it's too much food. Bouillabaisse is
typically brought to table in a large tureen and portions ladled into
normal sized bowls... no one eats directly from the tureen unless
you're a big fat sow. And no eatery prepares bouliiabaisse for one...
if you order it for one they bring a normal sized bowl, a single
serving.

The more I read your posts the more I believe yoose BSers dine at the
drive thru... you've never eaten bouillabaisse, I've never seen it
served for one with a dozen mussels... maybe yer tawkin mussels
marinara, a very different dish... and still a couple dozen mussels in
tomato sauce on its own is not a very filling dish, most folks consume
a half loaf of eyetalian bread with it for sopping and it almost
always arrives with a side of ****ghetti. I don't think any of yoose
has ever been to a REAL seafood restaurant. Jill lives on an island
in the Atlantic yet to date has never mentioned eating seafood, not at
home, not at her Kaiser Klub... something about that picture is very
wrong. I've lived most of my life within walking distance of the sea,
and have eaten at countless seafood restaurants. Many don't serve
bouillabaisse because it's not something prepared by the single
portion, it doesn't store well, and it's not a very popular dish
because a lot of people don't like fish broth, I love it but many
don't. It's not a dish I would prepare just for one or two, it's best
to have bouillabaisse at a good seafood restaurant... and it doesn't
pay to prepare it with frozen seafood, blech!
