I sure like shrimp. But the shrimp you get now doesn't seem as good as the shrimp of a few decades back. Farm shrimp? Seems both texture and taste is different. --Vic |

Probably always will take a good steak over lobster. And I certainly wouldn't pay the crazy prices they want for it. Isn't lobster dipped in butter to make it palatable? I've had snails once, called escargot on the menu of course. All garlic-ed up to make them taste other than slime. Don't want a steak that needs steak sauce either. I put a little A1 on it once in a great while anyway, because I just want to taste some A1. Cracking crab legs is nonsense too. More calories lost than gained. Unless you dip it in butter. That'll fatten it up. I do like crabcakes - when somebody else gets the meat from the crab. But I admit crab and lobster have more snob value than a good steak. Nothing against lobster, mind you. Golfers probably eat a lot of it. You know, guys like O.J. Simpson, Tiger Woods, etc. --Vic |

I vacation in Maine quite often, and can't get through a week up there, without having lobster several times. I love eating lobster when I'm in Maine, here, not so much. I find that true with quite a few foods. I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but when I'm in Chinatown... Italian food, however, I don't need to be in Little Italy. --Vic |

As always, have a nice, simple-minded day. |
