Food that should impress you but doesn't

[Grin]

I was 'treated' to some oysters today, and once again I wasn't impressed. In fact, I made up my mind today that I will never again eat oysters in my life.

I've never liked caviar either. Yuk!

 

[Tyler Durden]

Never had either of them. I had lobster but enjoyed that a lot.

What I'm trying to say is....I got nothing

 

[sierrabravo]

crab, lobster, salmon, caviar, all that crap that "rich" people eat, it all tastes nasty to me. i guess i'm just used to oscar mayer bologna lol

 

[Dana]

most food impresses me... honestly... except for onions and tomatoes..... I've never tried oysters

 

[PoopaSwoof]

Escargot :yukuke:

You gotta be fuckin kidding me, eating snails=hurl.

 

[Peter Parka]

Caviar, its ok but nothing special
Oreos - Seriously, why are you Americans mad for this shit? :yuk
Escargot - Yeah, couldn't get away from the fact that it really did feel like eating snails. At least the sauce was nice.

Jellied Eel - Seriously, just dont unless you like the taste of gristle and shit in dog food jelly.

:eek and eek

NEVER tried Oysters!!!

You dont know what your missing.

Oysters Kilpatrick...Oysters mornay....oysters with chilli and avocado....

Oyster shots are to die for...speaking of which...

I wonder if Jim can rustle some up.

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Oysters are yuck!

There's not much that doesn't impress me with food, as long as it doesn't have a gross texture. I am more of a texture eater than a flavor eater. I don't care how good it tastes, if it feels weird, there is no second bite!

I find that to be a common theme with women in their food preferences.

and SMoked oysters:thumbup

The texture does take some getting used to. But once you master that, and savour the flavour (he he I rhymed) you will be converted.

i LOVE all seafood. Living on the coast helps. Nothing beats fresh seafood

One of my favorite tricks is to grill them.

Just lay them on the grill - opened - and drizzle a little italian dressing and a sprinkle of parm. Close the lid on the grill for about 3-4 minutes. Fucking awesome.

Are you a chef?

I saw your photo on the other thread cookin up a storm.

My hubby used to work at the local fish co-op. He still holds the record for most whiting filleted in a day.

We used to get HEAPS of free fish, lobster tails, prawns and mussels

Indeed, my chosen profession.

 

[RedRyder]

I love deep fried shrimp! Not cold or any other way. To be honest, if I'd have seen what they look like prior to indulging, I would never have eaten them! As it is, I was a bit under the influence once and tried deep fried squid.... known as Calamari on the menu..... wasn't until I had eaten a few bites and swallowed it and said I didn't care for it that I was told what it was. Bastards!

Won't ever happen again!

I've never tried Lobster! Can't get past all that noise and mess. I still might try it some day.....

As for oysters, clams and the like..... forget it. Never had a desire to try them.

I definitely won't eat deer, rabbit, or any other wild game for that matter. Don't know why. Just won't.

I have worked with many chefs.:nod: Some good....most arseholes (not saying YOU are though)

Do you insist on being called "Chef" or can the staff use your real name?

I prefer my name. Though on the line during service we expect all the staff to say "chef" to whomever is expediting, necessary to be clear in a noisy and chaotic environment.

A few of my Mexican-native guys still always call me "hefe" no matter what. Part of the polite nature in which they were taught. I don't mind it at all.

Gordon the cunt Ramsey has a lot to answer for!

 

[AUFred]

I have not had raw oysters in years but have sat and shucked them for hours.
I have never tried caviar.
Unfortunately, most lobsters I have tried were overcooked.
I like almost all seafood.

He breaks my heart, really. He's a fucking amazing chef with the creditials to back it up, and started on BBC as a helpful and constructive TV chef. But in the US he's allowed himself to become a cartoon character and his shows are no more real than Jerry Springer. It's disgusting.
