When I'm with my kids in a restaurant, I'm often the servant that does it for them...I think they can do it themselves, it's just more convenient for them that way...
Nah man, back in the day the Hill Country kids would roll up and smoke wild grape leaves. According to my dad and others, it'd make you cough like hell, sometimes puke, but gave you one hell of a head buzz for a bit. I don't think anybody tried it more than twice.
I remember as a kid there was a cajun restaurant on the Westside of Houston that a couple of us families liked to go to. For whatever reason, I'd usually order the bone-in fried catfish and then my Mom would painstakingly clean all the meat off the bones for me so I didn't choke to death. Why she never suggested some boneless fish I'll never know.
People who remove the calyx by cutting across the top but leaving the core are the same people who put the TP roll under instead of over. Monsters who should be removed from society.
They're more savages than monsters, I'd say. The tip of an old school veggie peeler, stuck in and rotated around, is the perfect tool for coring them quickly.
Nope. I'm with Alton Brown on this: single use tools just clutter up your kitchen, you want multitaskers.
