All You Chicken Hearts – Be Quiet! by We Are Never Full

Towards the end of an otherwise very enjoyable dish of Cantonese-style spicy duck tongues at Congee Village on New York’s Lower East Side a few years ago, I found myself asking the inevitable question: how many ducks does it take to make a plate of this?

All I Want for Christmas is… Baby Octopus by We Are Never Full

For much of what we are accustomed to seeing around Christmas, the candles, trees, the mistletoe, the decorations, and many of the songs, we need to thank the Germans.

How to Deliver on Duck Liver by We Are Never Full

Dec 9th, 2014 by Jonny & AmySince we defected to the suburbs, started going to bed at 9.30 and became generally boring and matronly, one aspect of the luxury of space afforded by our new location that we have enjoyed particularly is having two fridge-freezers.
