That's too bad. He missed a lot!

Not sure. Never had lobster, but I'm not missing it a bit.
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.

Looks like the prices paid to the fishermen will be low again this year.
That means cheap lobster off the back of a truck around here.

Been a choice on the menu plenty of times at "events."
Always chose steak. 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.

Pretty damn accurate description of lobster. Although, you leave out the
ambiance. 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.

If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob,
achmed the sock puppet,or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting
your time by trying to *communicate* with me through rec.boats, because,
well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I
don't read the vomit you post, except by accident on occasion. As
always, have a nice, simple-minded day.

Balsamic vinegar until slightly carmalized.....mmmm, mmm!
I like all greens, especially turnip greens. Really though, if someone
knows how to cook a good batch of collards, they aren't bitter. My
neighbor, the soul food cooking machine can make some fine collards,
mine aren't bad. He also makes the best ox tail stew on the planet!


I still can't do peas or pea soup. For some reason I love the pea pods
in Chinese food. Go figure...

Rob

Mmm, love peas any kind of way. Split pea soup cooked with lots of ham
hocks......!

Yes, he was just like that. If he didn't want to, he just wouldn't try
something. When he was in the Navy, they served Chop Suey, not Chinese
at all, but they thought it was. Well, he didn't like it, so he NEVER
tried any other real chinese food. And I mean NEVER!
