After being sick with a nagging cold with loads of sneezing and sniffing, added on with cravings for something hot & spicy food. Ended up making the ultimate home remedy for bad colds... Crabs. Well eating crabs is a messy business, crack the bone, suck out the yummy juice and relish the tender sweet meat.
