Weren’t lobsters like that? I remember reading somewhere that only poor people ate them sometime ago, beaches would sometimes get flooded with lobsters
Iirc lobsters can become much much larger than the ones we eat which are lil babies (comparatively speaking). The 2 or so lb lobsters we see are like 5yo but lobsters can live to be 100+ and 15lbs or sumsuch. Maybe the old crotchety ones folks ate back didn’t taste as good?
same with quinoa, price went up so much that people started cultivating it outside of its native south America and then the price plummeted so bad that it caused financial devastation among farmers
They were fed to prisoners
Oysters are, indeed, vastly unappealing as food; however, they’re not trash - they’re excellent water filters.
Imagine opening up a water filter and giving all that goodness inside a good taste
No.
Do it pussy.
This is the most unpleasant representation of cunnilingus I have ever encountered.
edit: Did you know that you can edit a deleted post to resurrect it? Apparently you can.
edit 2: I guess no one but me and maybe some mods will ever see this, but apparently that’s not true.
“Yeah. I really do want a big salty lugee in my mouth” ~ Oyster Enjoyers
I heard a thing in NYC was the immigrants could look for work, and if they didn’t find anything they could go to the shore, get enough oysters to survive, and keep going.
So common, NYC streets were often paved with a mix of oyster shells.
I like oysters, but like… 4 per week is fine. If it was staple food for me, I’d cry myself asleep every night.
The most oysters I’ve ever had was three dozen, in the Baja coastal town of San Quintin. You told the man wearing rubber pants to the waist how many you wanted, he’d wade into the water with a machete in hand, hacked at what essentially was a rock of bunched-up oysters, then waded back to the shore.
He’d plop that heap of oysters on a wooden table, give you a shucking knife, a bunch of lemons, Salsa Búfalo (not for buffalo wings, it was a brand of smoky hot sauce) and salt crackers.
If they had a blue ribbon that said “I ate like a pig in San Quintin”, I am not ashamed to say I would have earned it.
You just reminded me of the crab at Cielito Lindo, a massive pile of legs and claws drowned in spiced butter, a couple of Pacificos with the meal and a glass of Presidente brandy to cap it off. ¡El sabor!
Yup. I prefer them smoked, so I get a can a couple times per year. I honestly don’t want more than that.
But when it comes to mussels, load me up! I could eat those multiple times a week and not get bored of them.
They are still trash food. So are lobsters.
To be fair, both of those are delicious. That said, I haven’t had caviar itself (too expensive), but I’ve had plenty of other fish-egg products, and it’s fantastic as a sushi topper or in a salad or something. I also love lobster, crab, and other “weird” foods from the bottom of the ocean.
Maybe I’m trashy, idk.
My grandfather liked black caviar and had it sometimes (it’s cheaper than you would think, or was in the 80s). I remember it being mostly just salty. I did not care for it.
If it’s anything like other kinds of fish roe (I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t), it’s not something to eat on its own, but with something. It basically adds some fresh fishiness to whatever you’re eating, for example mild pastas like alfredo or carbonara. I really like fish, so I find it adds some nice flavor to a wide variety of dishes.
I believe he used to have it on a small slice of pumpernickel.
Hmm, he was probably missing out if that’s all he had it with. I’m sure it’s fine, but there are so many other ways to enjoy fish roe than just with bread or crackers.
If you’re ever up for trying it again and like fish, try adding a little to an otherwise mild dish. If you don’t overdo it, you’ll keep the mild flavors of the dish, but with a taste of the ocean as well. A little goes a long way, so don’t go too crazy.
I guess it was the German Jewish way to eat caviar? At least in the early 20th century? That’s what he grew up eating.
It’s certainly common, I just think there are better ways to enjoy it, especially for people new to it. But eating it on bread or crackers is the goto, at least for caviar itself (less so for other types of fish roe).
I can take or leave oysters, but I used to get fried clams at Long John Silver’s and they were the shit.

say that to a yinglet [fictional] ;)
Too bad this douchebag uses Twitter.
