For those who liked ‘Taiwanese travelogue’ this year A poem about 🦀 from 17th century novel:
How delightful to sit and a crab’s claw to chew
In the cassia shade – with some ginger-sauce, too!
Old Grim-chops wants wine, though he’s got no inside,
And he walks never forwards, but all to one side.
The ‘yolks’ are so tasty, who cares if we’re ill!
(The end of the poem is in the comment),

O crabs,’ Dong-po said (and his words I repeat)
‘You have not lived in vain if you’re so good to eat!’
