Seafood Sucks

[Kuja]

Anyone ever eaten salmon with hot sauce? Mmmmmmm......

[AdmiralKanos]

A cow is every bit as alive as a lobster.

But not once I eat it. And that's the real sticking point.

You just said that a lobster remains more alive after cooking and ingestion than a cow. Do you realize that? Is that what you intended?

A1 is the solution.

How does steak sauce change the fact that you're eating processed crap when you eat a hot dog?

I hate lobster. Crab I can eat, but would prefer not to.

That's not your palate; that's your mental hang-up.

And, I'm sorry, but I find the image of someone cracking open the shell of just-killed, gigantic bug, and then proceeding to suck it's innards out to be absolutely revolting. It kills any pleasure I could take from that experience.

As I said, it's all about your hang-ups. And BTW, a lobster is not a giant bug, and people don't eat its innards; they avoid the stomach area and eat the meat in the pincers and the tail. This is no different from eating a chicken drumstick.

But it may interest you to know that certain large insects ARE, in fact, eaten in many parts of the world. The distinction between one kind of meat and another is often due to social conditioning more than anything else. Why should the idea of cracking open a lobster and eating its tailmeat be any more revolting than the idea of grinding up a cow into paste, compressing it into sausages, and then selling it as "food"?

i'm into sushi. raw fish is like the best...

Humans developed the ability to make fire for a reason.

yeah but some of us rather prefer the use of fire for malicious reasons, and prefer to eat meat that's still dripping blood.

Nothing wrong with some raw meat or fish now and then, but sushi doesn't drip much blood and I dont see a point in paying for prepared food without the fire aspect.

Yum, protein paste....

[Crown]

See I go through phases where I will not eat sea-food in any shape and form, and other times I just can't get enough!

I meant, it's easier to forget that it is dead.

I do not often eat hotdogs. However, they do not taste like crap, so I was blissfully unaware of this until you told me, and I shall now strive to repress the memory.

That's not your palate; that's your mental hang-up.

Yep. I'm a pretty fucked-up guy.

Exactly. The image of someone sucking...stuff...from a gigantic claw is just...geck...for me.

And, I know it's not a giant bug. It just looks like one.

Ugh. Yeah, I've seen those specials where people in Asian nations will trap thousands of these bugs in bamboo and then roast them.

Interesting that you mention sausages. Whenever I see sausage cooked a certain way, it reminds me of photos I once saw; photos of frozen corpses. I tend to avoid it for that reason.

-shudder-

No. Though I normally like to have some horse radish with it. Thats really good.

Mmmmmmm, sushi........

*ponders*

Hmm, since I'm a Pisces, does that mean that I'm committing cannibalism when I eat fish, horoscopically speaking?

Horse radish.

Horse radish.

What's wrong with processed Horse Radish? All else aside its great for clearing out a stuffed up nose for an hour or more. One must be careful though.

Two friends of mine got into a completion eating it straight from the bottle. They had to stop when one of them ate a heaping soup spoon full and had blood gushing out of his nose about 5 seconds later.

[Raptor 597]

What's the matter with some pig anus? It's not like they don't hose it out first.

*Falls out of his chair laughing* Pig anus.

[Kuja]

LOL, I see this thread has made it into a sig.

[Raptor 597]

LOL, I see this thread has made it into a sig.

Yep, one too remember. Isn't pig anbu in your hot gogs the gretest?

[Kuja]

Of course! In fact, I could go for some pig anus and fries right now!

[Sea Skimmer]

I've got a couple parts saved to my vast quote archive already.

I had a rather nice cup of New England Clam Chowder today. I also enjoy fish filets, especially flounder. I think I had trout once. And every year when I go to the local annual festival I always get a plate of baked clams, since they are sooooo good.

You're making me droll, you bastard.

I love all seafood. Well, almost all. Had Sea Urchin once. Once.

Also, I have a neurosis about chocking on small bones, so I only eat fish fillets.

I don't eat crab or lobster, though. Too much effort, too little reward I don't want to have to work for food, then work some more when I get my food

I eat lobsters with my bare hands. No pansey tools for me. I bite right through the shell!

[Einhander Sn0m4n]

SUSHI!!!!!
WASABI!!!!!!
Yum Yum! Nothing says Pure protein like a hunk of raw fish on a sticky gob of rice smeared with those tasty orange fish eggs! W00T! W00T! YUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUMYUM!!!!!!!!

[Next of Kin]

Is there anyone here on a seefood diet?

[MKSheppard]

It tastes good. It lends variety to the dining experience. You don't feel as bloated afterwards. You get to know precisely which parts of the animal you're eating (not like hot dogs or ground beef). You are closer to nature, as you must confront and accept the fact that you kill and eat other living beings for sustenance. It is good for your health. There are lots of reasons.

Like this:



YUMMY YUM!

Huge chunks of lead flying thru the air at supersonic velocities is only
part of the fun!

I used to love shrimp, but then I ate some, watched some fireworks, and ended up puking all night.

I enjoy Asian seafood, such as sushi, though. And I'd like to try other types of seafood such a squid sometime in the future.

[Ghost Rider]

Shrimp...can be fickle.

What you got was more than likely bad, and that can be ugly.

As for Squid...I have problems finding dried squid unless I go to a asian grocery store. Normally it's okay but a little too chewy.

Sushi...I like but too many places say they do it...and I have a slight problem with a mall resturant handling raw fish.

[Andrew J.]

That's not your palate; that's your mental hang-up.

Um, not to be disrespectful, but has it ever occured to you that he may genuinely dislike the taste of loster and crab? I can't stand 'em either, and I don't have any unusual hangups about seafood. Heck, I think the best calamari should have visible suckers on it!

[Evil Sadistic Bastard]

Mmmmmmm, sushi........

*ponders*

Hmm, since I'm a Pisces, does that mean that I'm committing cannibalism when I eat fish, horoscopically speaking?

Only if you have a tail and scales and exhale through slits in your neck.


And as for my response to the title...

I hate fish.

The last time I ate fish was when I was seven. I stopped eating fish because I choked on their bones TWICE consecutively. The second time I even had to go to the hospital. No, I don't like eating fish.

But crabs are great. Black pepper crabs especially. There is nothing like sucking the spicy flesh from a cracked claw and savoring the taste.

However, I'm not so big on lobsters. Until they make black pepper lobsters I'll stay away.

I don't like sushi that much, so I avoid it. But I have tasted raw fish before and it isn't bad.

Squids are great, especially the hot plate kind. Only problem is that they pop when cooked someyimes and splash oil into your face.

[HemlockGrey]

Incidentally, say what you will about pig anuses(ani?); when I am eating them, they do not look like they are about to take a dump on my plate, which cannot be said for lobster.

Besides, lobster meat is just not fulfilling. It tastes almost sweet. Bleck.

I love seafood, 'tis so good!
