DEAR MISS MANNERS — In Spain several years ago, |
ordered zarzveula de mariscos, on a friend’s advice. When it
arrived, I found that the shrimp, clams, mussels and Jobster
were still in their shells and in broth.

Although [ watched the
Spaniards closely, E did not
discover the secret of removing the
shells without getting my hands
wet and dripping the soup halfway
up my arms.

Last week, I visited a restaurant
where the specialty was stuffed
quail. My experience with the zar-
zuela had unnerved me and f was
afraid to order the quail, not hav-
ing the foggiest ideas of how to eat
it. No one else was cating quail, so
I could not observe.

I would appreciate suggestions
about how to approach the above
and similar situations.

one is very sure of the state of
one’s teeth.

Zarzuela and its French cousin,
bouillabaisse, offer two hazards.
Not only does one have to extract
the seafood morsels from their
shells, which are sometimes reluc-
tant to yield, but this must be per-
formed without making waves in
the liquid in which they res?.

The correct method, such as it
is, is to consume as much liquid as
can be spooned up without knock-
ing the shells about dangerously,
and then to hold the shell out of
the broth with the left hand while
picking out the goody with a
seafood fork. As the shells are de-
posited on the under-plate or
another plate provided for the
Purpose, manoeuvring room even-
tually becomes available for the
soup spoon.

There are also two things to
watch out for in eating quail:
bones and buckshot. The bird
should be cooked so that the bones
may simply be eaten with the meat.
