Today in Human Geo class we talked about maps a little bit more and countries around the world. We started talking about how Mr. Schick doesn't really like crabs because he was born and raised in Chicago and he wasn't raised or been around people who usually ate crabs. He likes them just it's like not his top food but we were all shocked when he told us that because we are raised in Maryland and crabs is like part of Maryland style. So he tried to make us understand what he was like when he went to a crab feast and ate crabs for the first time. He explained it something like this, that imagine that you were from Maryland and coming to live in Chicago and you go to a squirrel feast or something and they have boiled squirrels with their fur and tail and eyes everything on and in the squirrel just boiled. Now, we take a knife and carve all the fur off of the squirrel and then the eyes and organs, then they started eating the brain (which we don't eat crab brains) and when Mr. Schick said that we all went like "Ew" and he was like yeah exactly that's what it's like when I first had crabs, it was weird and not much meat came out of the crab and it was a pain getting to the meat.
