Love this! Having been known to eat a few monumentally revolting things in my time (the palm larva was even more cringe worthy but didn't cause hurlage as the gooseneck barnacles did) I, too, would be firmly on the pastel bus rather than the lamprey bus. When shall we come over??
Agree on the lampreys. Just can’t quite get past the image. But gooseneck barnacles sort of seem like seeds for geoduck clams, which are simply spectacular on many levels. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoduck
