uhhhh.... lampreys aren't exactly native to tropical waters, are they? Or is the reason that many of our TC members are here is that they are stranded not just on the mainland, but in the icy wastes of Kadath? |

Folks, it has come to my attention the the Offical Holiday Lamprey thread is falling sadly way behind the Official Holiday Baby Deer & Holiday Llama ones, respectively... Please don't hesitate to show your inverberate Petromyzon Holiday cheer. Alternately, Holiday Lamper Eels are now eligible as well. |

I have read the the Eel Rivers in Northern California were named after the Lamprey. Not exactly tropo, but close enough to the Tonga Room that in theory, you could get a belly full of rum drinks get in a car, head north, and the lamprey's could share your tipple. |

Didn't St. Patrick compel the lampreys to leave Ireland? (You know you've been on TC too long when you have the random thought during the workday of, "Gee, the lamprey discussion has really fallen by the wayside.") |

Andrew Zimmern samples lamprey in Russia on "Bizarre Foods" (12:40 on the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHReLeErcQY "Next up, the gnarly looking lamprey. They're mud-dwelling predators that feed off the blood of a host fish. Historically, lampreys were a peasant food popularized when Russians couldn't afford anything else. "Supposedly" it helps to pickle them. It's really just a slender little eel so we're going to take out the center bone. I've had a lot of pickled and cured fish in my life - that's just one of the worst I've ever tasted! The lamprey itself has sort of an ammoniated, sort of spoiled flavor that just won't go away no matter how much salt you put on it. And all of the curing that takes place, the pickling that takes place with it leaches all the fat and all the moisture out of the flesh of the fish itself so what's left behind is a very tough, salty, ammoniated piece of nasty fish. One thing I can say definitively about Russian pickled lamprey is... it's NOT good!" |

Maybe December 1st should be a lamprey holiday; on that day in 1135 King Henry I of England died from eating too many lampreys "Henry stopped at St. Denys in the wood of Lions to eat some lampreys, a fish he was very fond of, though they always disagreed with him, and the physicians had often cautioned him against eating them, but he would not listen to their advice. This food mortally chilled the old man's blood and caused a sudden and violent illness against which nature struggled and brought on an acute fever in an effort to resist the worst effects of the disease." |

Before I joined Tiki Central I never really paid much thought to lampreys....unlike Henry I of England. Sure I knew what they were and what nasty little buggers they are, but apart from their disgusting eating habits that was it. However now I have discovered that the slimy little eels have invaded my very own Tiki Bar! I will instigate control measures immediately! (The "skeletal" items were part of a Halloween gathering, NOT the leftovers of their feasting.) See video HERE: [ Edited by TIKIGIKI on 2022-11-07 16:41:51 ] |

There is of course another little horror lurking in the ocean that can inflict FAR more damage than the lamprey.
I'm referring to what is called the "cookie-cutter" shark.
These things are only small but possess nightmarish teeth that inflict a very serious bite....and deep!
Three to four centimetres in fact. That's a fair size pellet of flesh!
A bloke attempting the Hawaiian Inter-island Swim was attached twice!
If these things happened to hit a major artery in say the neck or thigh, you would be in SERIOUS trouble!
Looks innocent enough at first.
I'd take my chances with a lamprey! [ Edited by TIKIGIKI on 2022-11-21 15:00:24 ] [ Edited by TIKIGIKI on 2023-02-25 17:05:04 ] |
