A Culinary Journey Through Hoobah Boobah Land, Part 3

The Tentacled Porcxslod is a prized shellfish only found on the outskirts of Florjabeesh, Hoobah Boobah Land's charming sea-side capital. Harvested only in November and December (of our calendar: Hoobah Boobah Land has a completely different calendar from our own. See earlier posts for a description of this complicated calendar system), it is eaten at family celebrations, and is a popular snack at baseball games. Since restaurants are not a large part of Hoobah Boobah Land's culinary life, Florjabeesh's few restaurants seldom have the Tentacled Porcxslod on their menus.

The Tentacled Porcxslod is protected by Hoobah Boobah Land's strict environmental conservation laws. Harvesting this creature out of season is punishable by a minimum fine of 1000 Grzzz (the Grzzz is the currency of H.B.L.) and 30 days imprisonment.

The Tentacled Porcxslod is often referred to in Hoobah Boobah literature. In the year 1232, the great Hoobah Boobah poet Earch Grochneeegoidan penned these immortal lines:

Oh Thou delectable creature
Always featured
At celebrations
It should be mentioned
That your consumption is
Seldom lamented
Your beguiling texture is
Your most wonderful feature
I slide you into my throat
With gusto and with glee!

How sad it is that you who read this will almost certainly never get to sample a Tentacled Porcxslod!
