so yes. I prefer crab legs without shells. I buy them on Monday, remove the shells while the steak fries are finishing in the oven, and then leave the shells in the sink. Post supper, I put the shells in kitchen compost bin, take the compost bag to the big compost bin in the garage, open the garage door, and remove the compost and other bins from garage to sidewalk :-)
Of course I don't eat the shells. I like the whole process of taking out each piece and eating it and then the next piece. Plus it stays warm in the shell and cools off way too fast once on a plate.
And I dip them in warm garlic/lemon butter.

We had goulash and spaetzle last night and it hit the spot! I think I am doing a brussels sprout and kale hash with eggs for dinner tonight.
I too have only had bagna cauda that is like a pot of oil.....nothing even close to spinach/artichoke dip which is thick and creamy. And also just a pot at the table....preferably something heavy that holds in the heat a bit.
