Also a side story not related to carbs, but definitely to crabs: when I was little, my grandpa accidentally set a tub full of live crabs (fortunately tied up) running all over the house. One even tried to climb up (and possibly start) a motorbike.
Due to the combination of 90% being a Cancer and 10% having a pesky habit of looking up food for no reason, I now have a desire to set crabs on the whole board 🦀🦀🦀. Fear the might of crabs on crackers, creamy crab croquettes and crab in oranges.
(ETA: Bagel-adjacent, really, for clarity, but that's apparently too long for the title.)
Also, crab in oranges? Oranges? I'm a bit afraid to look. Of course, orange chicken is a thing, but I'm kind of picturing crab meat cooked with orange juice in some way and then stuffed into orange rinds, and--
You know what, I'm going to look.
...what the heck. Yuki, that looks like some kind of orange-crab jelly stuffed into a decoratively cut orange rind! What is that? How is that a thing? Why crab in that situation, specifically? Fruit I could understand, but shellfish?
The others look refreshingly normal :P Nice photography. To be fair, the orange one is also photographed nicely; I just can't help but boggle a bit and wonder about its history.
~Z, who doesn't eat crab to begin with and has absolutely no desire to, but can apparently still be drawn in by misreading a word and getting somewhat morbidly curious about oranges in the mental image.
PS: Bublik recipe, with bonus history of bagels. Which have apparently been a thing since at least the very early 1600s?? Incredible. Disclaimer: I haven't tried this recipe myself, but I saw a photo from someone who had (that's where I got the link from) and they look great.

a.k.a. xièniàngchéng (蟹酿橙), seasoned crab meat steamed in a hollowed-out orange. I actually see it as a pretty elegant dish (which I've never tried); here's a subbed recipe video. Also, if my memories serve me correctly, I once told y'all about shrimp stir-fried with tea.
