Title: Crab Sticks
Post by: Rimms on May 03, 2004, 10:57:03 AM

What is it about Crab Sticks in Turkey, Have you seen the price of them in Migros ? Last May we saw a small pack was 66 million ! Of course you would think that was a mistake, but when we went back in August it was the same price.

What made me think about this was we just had friends around for a glass of wine and I opened a pack of iceland crab sticks marked as 99p.

Sod the Bacon, I'm taking a suitcase full of these ( and playing cards ! )

I know that it isn't strictly the same stuff but it reminded me that Mick had prawns last year at a restaurant and they were horrifyingly expensive for a tiny amount.  Our worst meal ever in Turkey.

So should it perhaps be crab sticks and prawns instead of bacon & sausages that we should be taking ?. Can you imagine the smell if you luggage happened to go astray for a few days :D

Bet those dogs trained to smell cannabis would be fooled by crab sticks, I am going to bring a rucksack full and buy a boat with the proceeds !
