Man, I need to get a small table so we can get out our grill.

It's not necessary, but I like it. You don't boil the body meat (which I find to be more delicious than the legs+claws) with its guts.

yeah actually, most people do
and they still taste just fine

I know most people do, I was saying that if you clean it/half it first, you're not boiling the body meat with guts. Just an easy hack, tug, and rinsing them off. It looks less impressive, I guess, but I like being able to pull the halves out of the pot nice and hot and just ronch them without worrying about cleaning. Its just personal preference though, I also don't eat it with any butter

auughh want crab nowww.

All about the personal preference.

Hell, there are folks who eat the "mustard" of the crabs. Just...don't ever eat the lungs.

or else you'll die!
ha, I remember my friend's parents trying to scare off us little kids with that

Crawfish are way too delicious.

krush

I agree with the earlier sentiment about duck; I just don't like it.


And I just couldn't get into crawfish either.

That said, today's lunch was leftover country fried pork chops, smothered in a white wine and mushroom gravy with spinach sauteed with bacon.

Goose!

Do you know what suck the head means? Cause I had this one friend and he didn't know! Its nothin' bad.



Alternatively: I am so terrible when it comes to food and half of the stuff you guys talk about I have never even tried.

Satanic Jesus

I don't like any seafood. I much prefer eating cows.

I love crab... but not those creepy little things. Urgh.

Delicious protein in the form of animal flesh. Eat and be merry.

Pinch the tail. Suck the head! Use the vest for a napkin... throw away the eyes.

you call crawfish disgusting aquatic spiders but you love crab? now you're making even less sense

krush

I'm amazed that this thread is already on the 3rd page and the awesomeness that is BACON has yet to be mentioned.

Cogliostro

I like grab legs. And they're MUCH larger.

Crawfish look more like bugs. Some kind of alien bug from a far off planet that needs to be eradicated.

BACON IS A SUPERIOR FOOD TO ALL OTHERS!!!


Peanut Butter and Bacon sammiches for all.

Peter Ebel

You know what's good? Freshly chopped vegetables fried in sesame oil, some steamed rice in the pan, some beat egg and a little soy sauce. Also, adding a few fresh mint leaves.

Seriously. Bacon is tasty and all, but the internet's obsession with it is tiresome.

krush

you're just mad 'cause you're bacon intolerant or something. Saltipork Disease, somache rumbles and you get the squirty-shits when you eat the savory goodness of bacon.

Druhim

jesus, just fucking shut up if you don't have anything to contribute to the food thread besides a tired old bacon meme

is there really an obsession???


I'm being dead serious.


I love bacon for real and I do eat PB and Bacon sadwiches.

you must forgive me for being meme-illiterate. I had no idea there's some kind of running bacon gag on the net.

I actually, factually love bacon.

Peter Ebel

At this point, you need to be making bacon from a wild boar you hunted and killed with your bare hands in Northern Russia to be allowed to talk about bacon.

Supraluminal

Look, everyone loves bacon. It's delicious. It's also ubiquitous. People have made bacon-flavored/wrapped/stuffed/infused everything at this point. There's just no reason to talk about how much you love bacon anymore. It's like saying how oxygen is so rad for breathing, and it's totally your favorite gas.

Staleghoti

Hi new food thread

you're awesome

Man, screw Oxygen. Nitrogen is the way to go these days.

krush

well... since there's an anti-bacon movement... I'll be moving on to other foods to discuss.


Has any of you ever tried Durian? Been meaning to track it down since seeing it on an episode of Bizarre Foods.

Indeed. I've only had them once and I couldn't find the meat, let alone figure out an efficient way to remove the exterior crap that composes 90% of the animal. I was so ashamed of myself, but I gave up and just ate the potatoes. This was in Texas, your results probably vary where people are more accustomed to eating dirt.

Durian tastes like snot covered vomit packets.

man, crawfish are super easy to eat
ignore the head unless you want to suck it
simply pull the tail off the body, that's where the biggest and easiest to reach chunk of meat is and most people only eat that

once you have the tail removed, simply pinch the base of the tail until the meat starts to loosen and then just pull the meat out with your teeth and enjoy

there's no need to go through the laborious process of peeling the tail off of the meat

Kochikens

Durian is awful. :[

Satanic Jesus

Pasta is awesome. I need to learn some recipes for pasta. Otherwise I'm stuck with just adding tomatoe sauce.

that bad???

I've heard people agree with the host of that show in saying it tastes a bit like custard, which I could definitely deal with.

Then too, I've had people tell me that they threw up from the smell before even eating it.

Druhim

Ok, I'm going to post an oldy but goody. Ever roasted a chicken and been less than impressed with the result? Was the meat bland and dry? Was the skin gross and soggy? Well it's actually really simple to make an excellent roast chicken as long as you follow some simple steps, and it doesn't require any butter on or under the skin or any other fats to help the skin brown, or herbs under the skin, or injectors to get flavor into the meat.

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/My-Favorite-Simple-Roast-Chicken-231348

That right there covers the simple steps to make an excellent roast chicken seasoned with just pepper and kosher salt that will be moist and flavorful throughout and will have delicious, crispy skin to boot. The butter and thyme are optional and are used after the chicken is done cooking.

ShimSham

Eating crawfish is not a complicated process.

Rip it in half.

Eat the meat in the middle.
