Snapping Kangaroos

... Everything and Anything.

Last week at the market, this Asian lady (from Hong Kong I suspect) bought a packet of 10 shell things (we are clueless what it is till today) and she gave us 1 because I asked her what it was. She told us we had to hammer the shell to break it so that we could take the flesh out and later to boil it.

Nice Shell		The flesh is orangy with some small yellow rings
After some hammering		Gross! Intestines and organs.
The intestines were twirled around the shell.		Trying to pull out the flesh. Ken said it was slimmy.
Finally he got it out and it smells. Disgusting!		Really disgusting and slimmy.
I think that is the organ, stomach and dont know what.		Wanna puke yet?
On left is the flesh.		Boiling the flesh.
Water actually turned orangy.		Cooked.
Underside.

We boiled the stuff too long coz we weren't sure and Ken took a bite (not taste) and said it felt rubbery. Anyway we were too disgusted to try eating it after pulling all the guts out and me photographing the process.
