Rick Stein doing his 300th bewildered piece to camera, bemoaning that most of British fish is exported and just like clockwork he then asks a fisherman how he eats the crab he catches, who looks a bit diffident and begrudgingly says as a butty and oh he's never had fennel before.

Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

Accuse not Nature, she hath
done her part;
Do thou but thine; and be not
diffident
Of Wisdom; she deserts thee
not, if thou
Dismiss not her, when most
thou needest her nigh,
By attributing overmuch to
things
Less excellent, as thou
thyself perceivest.

VIII, 561-566
