Did you guys that like them hard realize they were stale? From the chapter:
"They crumble easily when fresh, but they can become almost as indestructible as hard tack if they are allowed to go stale...
Speaking of places, Cornelius says "The first place in New Jersey I met them was at the Hotel De Crab in the bayside at Beach Haven, a seafood restaurant on stilts over the waters of the thorofare".Not really, but I could see how they would be.
Before Allen's for me was a place called the Oyster House in Conshohocken (gone now, not the current one on Fayette)
Always left out in an open bowl on the tables with a container of horseradish.
Maybe that's why I liked Allen's, reminded me of the past.
Speaking of horseradish, pepper palace nasal napalm!
Yes! I forgot about eating them with just horseradish. TOCs were the best.Not really, but I could see how they would be.
