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! -- WAFA the newsgroup liar free! Well, I've never eaten ludifisk but I dont't think I'm missing much there. |

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. --Vic You've never had lobster?? Gasp... 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. --Vic Well, you oughta try one, just for the hell of it. I'd never buy one in a restaurant, unless my wife wanted it, but when in Maine there are roadside stands that sell it. Not a bad price then, and those folks know what they're doing. Butter isn't necessary. Lobster's pretty good without it. -- John H |

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. Great minds...and all that. -- John H |

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......! Yum, I love split pea soup... Ditto. Not with ham hocks, but real ham and lots of onions and celery. -- John H |

Pretty sure if I was in that general area lobster eating would be second nature for me. But I won't know until I get there. Out of curiosity, what's lobster taste like? Chicken? --Vic |
