Anyone want to come to my place for Thanksgiving?

I've learned to never eat Thanksgiving or Christmas at other people's houses.  Every home seems to have their own weird traditions as to what tastes good, and put in exotic spices my palate rejects, and serves dishes or ways of cooking my stomach rejects and I end up starving, after politely nibbling on things.  The farther you get distance- and kinship-wise from home, the worse it is.  Like I can tolerate some of the food at family reunions, but I'd take cafeteria food over most of what's been put before me in other people's homes.

It's only holidays though, mostly.  I usually do ok with potlucks and dishes people bring to parties.

It's not even remotely obvious that those are fish. Looks more like worms to me.

You're 100% correct, they are in fact not fish but spoonworms.  Hwvr they're nonscientific name is, indeed, "penis fish".  And I might be mistaken but I believe their nickname does not derive from the fact that they look like penises but because they are rumored to swim up the urethra if you happen by one in an amazonian river.

Haha, is that "the dreaded candiru" (guessing on the spelling) The Monarch mentioned in that one episode of The Venture Brothers?
