YABBIES

l was reading a magazine and noticed an add for a yabby restaurant.

l remember back  to when my 3 grandchildren were small, and as they were growing up they would spend every 2nd or 3rd Sunday with us.

We loved those days with Ashley, Caitlyn and Cody. They are now in their late teens and 20's so they are very busy with their own lives so we don't see them very often.

The photo above was when they were very small and loved to play with yabbies.

We had a pond in our garden with hundreds of yabbies dwelling there and we would net some out and have some great yabby races.

The children were never frightened of them and knew how to pick them up properly. 

The biggest yabbies hardly ever won a race. l remember the 3 kids would squeal with excitement. We never cooked our yabbies as l couldn't stand the thought of dropping them into boiling water.

They are considered  a delicacy.
The yabby is a small freshwater crayfish native to Australia. This small crustacean is so tasty  to eat so of course yabby farming is very popular. l have tasted one and they do taste like a mini crayfish.
