Love this BUT What? No boiled pnuts?
So true and a terrible omission. We are so sorry we missed the boiled peanuts.
Perhaps six DOZEN oysters? Have never seen them sold by the pound, but I’m sure they still taste the same.
This is so original and so much fun. Love it
Where can you get that Bloody Mary?
