An common food you have never eaten and embarrassed to tell others

[Peace Pilgrim]

Since I barely know you guys and this is my thread. Lobster. I've never eaten squid either.

 

[HN]

but why would you be embarrassed about it?

 

[moonbogg]

I don't believe I've eaten snails. I'm not embarrassed about that though. This hurts my brain. This thread sucks.

King crab > lobster

I just hate seeing Red Lobster commercials with people around and them going "ooooh awwww...so hungry" I'm like "yeah that looks so good" but I am a phoney.

i think "uncommon foods that you have had but are embarrassed to tell people others" would work.

like, "i love tiger balls with my split pea soup in the evenings. it helps me sleep"
or, "i drink endangered whale tears in the morning instead of coffee"

I've never had real lobster. I had the fake stuff once, and it was alright. Usually when I'm in a seafood place, there's other things I want. I'm also not terribly enthused about screwing with crustaceans. They almost always have a high work:reward ratio. Shrimp are a delicious, but messy exception to that.

I hear eating a shotgun is tasty too OP, you might wanna try that out!




You've been here awhile and you know better than to post a comment like that.

Ditto on both counts.

You really need to be banned.

Lobster, crab, squid, oysters, salmon, trout. I've eaten maybe a teaspoon of shrimp and couldn't keep it down. Projectile vomiting is nature's way of telling me I should stay away from crustaceans and fish.

Bullshit.

Stick to lobster tails. They're worth it.

1. break tail off from rest of lobster
2. break tail in half but try to keep the meat inside from breaking in half
3. slide off smaller half of shell to reveal tasty goodness
4. push tasty goodness back through the remaining half shell of the tail to entirely free tasty goodness from its shelled confines
5. slather in butter
6. EXPERIENCE NIRVANA

Fake lobster tastes nothing like lobster. You can only eat the tail and the claws. The rest is kind of disgusting but some people eat it anyway.

Go to a place and get a lobster roll. It's shelled for you.

Are we talking about spiny lobsters or Atlantic lobsters? Or both?

There are a lot of uncommon foods I've never tried like Rocky Mountain oysters, fried pickles, and chitterlings that some people swear are delicious.

 

[alkemyst]

Wow you guys that never had lobster...this explains a lot.

 

[Peace Pilgrim]

I'm talking about common foods that most of the regular populace has experienced.

I have never eaten grits.

Atlantic. Preferably in Maine. Preferably in the Bar Harbor region.

Preferably at Beal's.

And now I want lobster.

If you've never had lobster please, for the love of god, don't go to Red Lobster for your first tasting of it. That place is to fine seafood dining as Outback is to a fine steakhouse.

Grits are awful. You aren't missing anything.

Depends on where you want to talk about things being common.

If we're talking about the US in general - I've heard there are places that pickled hot dogs are a thing? Not something I've tried.

On the converse topic of unusual things that I *have* eaten. When I was in Qingdao my friend took me to a restaurant that served butterfly(or moth) chrysalides sauteed with red chili peppers and leeks, quite good really, I also tried cat when we were near Dandong (don't bother gamey and stringy.)

When I was in Tyumen I bought some meat off a street vendor that the locals I was with assured me would catch dogs off the street - I'm not certain it was dog, but if it was I'll rate it 4 stars would eat again.

I actually liked durian, once my nostrils shut down. Didn't really go for natto though.

I will admit that since moving to CO I have avoided the rocky mountain oyster question. I should probably get around to it sometime.

After reading this and throwing up I've come to realize I'm glad I've never traveled outside my country.
