{UAH} The Seahorse

I had seen pictures of this creature before but not until I first saw one.

Before I saw it I believed it was a creature lookalike of the land horse but without four legs 

As fate would have it, it was at Halifax pub appropriately name Seahorse where I encountered the creature... but it wasn't what I expected.

Seated with a bunch on my Zimba comrades the waitress came around asking what each of us wanted to imbibe. My mind had wondered away to thoughts about the real Seahorse

I asked the lady if seahorses really existed. She said "yeap". Asked if she had seen any. She said "Yeap. We have some right here".

Told her I wanted to see with my own eyes and got up for the walk which I expected to be in backyard of the pub.

It wasn't to be. 

Right at the bar counter was a fish tank. I was shocked to see some tiny vlcreatires the size of Nsenene in the tank but what struck me more was that I never expected them to be that tiny.

I went on to ask if they would grow bigger then let oitbofvthe tank. She said that was it. That how big they grew.

I was of course disappointed at the misnomer to a horse and even worst, half horse without legs and very very tiny

I didn't bother asking next question which would have been if they were eaten bcos I had been hit by surprise after another at unknowingly eating devious seafoods with disgusting looks.

Escargot for example. Ate the most creamy curry Escargot in Kingston Jamaica without knowing it was snail. Another time I vigorously ate some script spicy stuff with a sexy name called Calamari only to discover it was another ugly slimy creature with three hearts called Octopus.

These days I eat anything in my plate without asking what it is. You no mess with seafood. They are ugly when alive but more tasty tan land creatures. I hesitated for ablimg time before eating shrimp just because it looked like an escaped magnified sperm. In Jamaica they are sold crispy spicy like popcorn by hawkers and believe me, you will likiliki your fingernails.

Nevertheless I still love my Kidepo athletes and prefer them to seafoods 

I was told a member of the famous Owori family who was a legislator in Kenya decided to open a crocodile farm in Nyanza to supply haute cuisine to Nairobi high-end restaurants.

Was successful until demand sunk but left him with hundreds of crocas that likewise ate meats only 

He decided to dump them in a nearby river and within days villagers along the river were disappearing rapidly into the belies of these deadly lizsrds.
