sclpls Posted September 18, 2014 I grew up in seafood country. My hometown has a huge salmon fishing industry and in this part of the country lobster is so common you can get it at McDonalds. It's still gross. Lobster is gross, but otherwise you are wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted September 18, 2014 I'm a weird guy that loves all shellfish, adores sushi, but overwhelmingly prefer not to eat cooked fish. Smoke the salmon, leave it raw, just don't cook it ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malkav11 Posted September 18, 2014 I like fish and chips and the occasional tuna sandwich. The rest is garbage. I largely agree with you. About the only way I've ever been able to eat seafood is in that super-breaded, super-processed way you get at fast food restaurants in their "fish sandwich" (heavy on the tartar, of course), or in fish and chips. And tuna salad, sure, sparingly. I guess I've also had fish in the tiny bit of sushi I've ever eaten but I've never had any idea what was in the rolls and I know you can do veggie sushi so I can't say for sure. And clam chowder is okay although I prefer other less sea-based chowders. Everything else? Bleah. When, in the interest of not being a complete stick-in-the-mud about food, I've tried, say, lobster bisque, or Subway's seafood sub, etc it's usually made me actively nauseous.

prawks Posted September 18, 2014 That's 'cause lobster sucks I just paused the most recent episode to tell you that you are wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted September 18, 2014 I also find all seafood repugnant. You are not alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemariano Posted September 19, 2014 An aside: Did you also not eat any hamburgers or jerky, or just do the tofu thing? I did not eat them, either. I sold all hamburgers and jerky that I found and only ate candy and non-meat products. For these purposes, I assumed that "Brain Food Lunch" didn't contain actual brains.

clyde Posted September 19, 2014 I'm super jealous of people who like seafood because they really like seafood. I can tell I'm missing out , so every once in a while I try again; I can't stand it. For the record, this includes nori. I'd go as far as to say that the taste I don't like in seafood is the only taste that nori has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted September 19, 2014 Growing up in land of beef, seafood was literally an exotic and rare treat. A very common holiday bonus for a lot of people was to receive a side of beef (one half of a cow), enough beef to feed a family for many, many months, so even low income working folks often had the highest quality beef in the world (much like how great seafood is super cheap in the north east). I think that's one of the reasons I love seafood so much. My brain will always think it's exotic and special, even when it isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted September 19, 2014 My expeirence living near Seattle and then eating other places on trips has shown me that there is a significant diference in the taste of seafood depending on where you live. Even flash-frozen, the quality degrades fairly quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twmac Posted September 19, 2014 I think it's a private one run by our friend David! Sorry :/ Proof! http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/17/Exposed-the-secret-mailing-list-of-the-gaming-journalism-elite Oh fuck, I hate myself. I have been meaning to post this on the 'life' thread or some where else like it. This whole nonsense has hit me really hard and I kind of keep lashing out on this forum, I apologise if this has come off as puerile but humour is my dirty way of dealing with it. Within days of the whole debacle, the false accusations, and all the other nonsense my twitter feed just filled up with crap so I left there. Then I started seeing truthers showing up on facebook about how gamersgate was this thing that was pure and great and how the SJW community had made it ugly. There were people (men and a few women) that seemed to support this cause and I honestly no longer have the strength to spend time debating with them. I am too old to go crusading and it pains me as a result. I want to embrace these fucking idiots and see if we can find some common ground but really it depresses me too much and I have the privilege of turning it all off. It sucks but I just can't see myself continuing to engage these idiots* *I may have been drinking but I pretty much stick by this - No more Twitter and an extremely limited facebook.
