There are? Maybe out in the wastelands of the countryside I suppose. I live in Stockholm and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Reading up on it it would appear to have been a thing for Norwegians back in the day;

I figure it's expensive to maintain and that Americans aren't big into seafood much less live ones.

I knew it was one or the other because you know what linguica is. I'm in Southern Mass, I raise a glass of coffee milk to you!

Tip posted:

Is linguica extra popular there? Because I think it's generally available, my normal rear end grocery store in Oregon always has it.

I had never heard of it though until a Hawaiian girlfriend introduced me to it. Tasty stuff, very good with some eggs and toast.

(Article) A hot wiener is lifted off the grill, nestled in a steamed split roll baked by East Providence’s Homestead Baking Company (in business for more than eighty years), slathered with bran mustard, smothered with proprietary meat sauce, sprinkled with onion and dusted with celery salt. Open wide: You can have all this and more for $2.49 each (prices of wieners almost always correspond with gas prices). Add on a coffee milk from Munroe Dairy and cheese fries and you have yourself a well-rounded meal with all four food groups. When it’s really busy, the guy on the grill in the corner lines up ten wieners snug in buns along his arm, from the knuckles to the bend in his elbow.

(Article) When it got into the canned coffee business, Field’s great-grandfather, Frank O. Field, named the coffee line Autocrat after a series of essays that appeared in Atlantic Monthly, “The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,” written by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. He wanted his coffee to rule the breakfast table with “undisputed influence.”

RE: seafood boils and americana -

Last boil I went to was in St. Petersburg Florida. It was a wedding rehearsal dinner, and the food was ready to eat right as the sun went down. It ended up being a mini college reunion of sorts and I had a great time catching up with everyone. We had it at a small motor court style hotel from the early 60s that the bride's family owned. After we finished the boil and the pony keg of beer, we splashed around in the pool. The more adventurous types there and those of us that didn't have kids to watch got more beer and some moonshine, and proceeded to stay up until sunrise on the beach. There were bioluminescent bacteria active in the water and you got to see a brilliant bit of blue in the water at night from them. I never saw a gulf side sunrise before in my life, and watching the ocean as the sun came up after seeing the bioluminescent bacteria at night was amazing.

I know in my heart that was the last time I will see most of those people. Life moves on and people fade away with time. That memory of everyone at that 50 year old motel having a crawfish boil and celebrating a friend's wedding to a woman he loved will always be in my mind.
