Ditto my fish guy when I asked for fish heads.
What did you want fish heads for? Soup?
Fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Too late.
Of course, in this case, birth might've been been too late.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Whole Foods has miso, too. I'm pretty sure I've also seen it at some of the bigger regular supermarkets.
I'd bet that just about any kosher fish guy would have fish heads. Lots of people use them for gefilte fish.

Huh. So I may have had fish heads without knowing it.

Yup, Marcella Hazan's fish soup/stew. It turns out to have to reserve fish heads in way in advance in my neighborhood, even though they're free, because otherwise little old Italian ladies will snap them up while you're at work. (Or the fish guy will have already turned them into stock, which you can then buy and use instead of making your own, but then you can't put the heads through a food mill and get all the nummy cheeky goodness.)
Mmmmmmm, heads.

So I take it the can't-stand-the-sight-of-food stage has passed?

I'm having a difficult time keeping my cranky rage from affecting my job performance. Maybe lunch would help.

It depends on the food. Fish stew isn't pinging any of my pregnancy-ick buttons right now.
I'm about to go cheese shopping with a co-worker, and we'll see how that goes. I may have to stand outside the shop and point.

I just read Gloomcookie's post in Beep Me and let me say that sucks with a whole extra bag of suck thrown in.

Yup, Marcella Hazan's fish soup/stew.
What happens to the heads? Do they kinda' disintegrate, leaving fishy skulls in the soup? Or do you just eat the heads?
