bethany725 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Sushi Oooh that's one of my favorites! Do you have an aversion to eating raw fish or just haven't gotten around to trying it yet? Quote
Peacefield Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I'm quite curious as to what lobster is like, I bet it's really expensive to buy though! Lobster is oh-so-YUMMY Lexie! If you get a full lobster though, it is expensive and is a lot of work for not a lot of meat, but still, mighty tasty stuff. Especially with some drawn butter! I've only had it a handful of times, but if it were more reasonably priced I would definitely have it more often. I realized last night that I don't think I've ever had swordfish. I was watching Giada make grilled swordfish sandwiches and now I'm convinced I need to try it! Quote
Ernie Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Tofu. I was vegetarian once (for a year) and allough there were some good tofu recipes around, I never got to try any. Quote
Janet Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Peacefield - you should definitely try Swordfish if you get the chance - it's lovely. And I agree, lobster is yumptious! Mmmmm! I've never tried Tofu - the look of it puts me off somewhat. Quote
lexiepiper Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Sushi is another thing I've not tried that I'd like to at some point Quote
BookBee8 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I've not tried sushi either. There's so many foods that I haven't tried! Quote
Roland Butter Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Peacefield - you should definitely try Swordfish if you get the chance - it's lovely. Janet, in that case I recommend that you never read Anthony Bourdain's book Kitchen Confidential! Quote
Rawr Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Eggs surprisingly, they just seem so eww! Hmm, oysters, sushi and coconut, i actually bought a coconut from the supermarket a couple of months ago but forgot about it lmao >_< Quote
thereader Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Scallops are really nice, mustn't be cooked too long, thats what makes them rubbery. Quote
Janet Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 The reader is right about scallops. They're gorgeous - especially in a stir fry with king prawns and chilli - yum! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Sushi Oooh that's one of my favorites! Do you have an aversion to eating raw fish or just haven't gotten around to trying it yet? But sushi isn't raw fish - it's vinegared rice. Raw fish - isn't that sashimi? Sushi may contain raw fish - but not necessarily. Sorry to be pedantic. I love sushi, but I've never had it with raw fish, don't really want to either. You can get lots of fillings, chicken, beef, fruit, vegetable. Quote
Ben Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 There's obviously a lot I haven't tried! Never had Sushi either. Quote
Midget Gem Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Agree with The Reader and Janet, scallops are great, so long as not over done... the same can be send for calamari. I like snails, but have never tried frogs legs, and would like to find out whether they're anygood. I saw braised rabbit on the menu on Friday lunchtime, so had to try it - a bit gamey. I tried crocodile when in Cape Town. It was like a thin slice of salami, but fattier than I thought - Didn't like it much. Also had Springbok and Ostrich on that trip. When in Rome.... Quote
Echo Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 When in Rome.... ...I'll find a Pizza Hut, thank you very much. Quote
pipread Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 There are lots of "fishy" foods I haven`t tried, I just don`t think I`d like them but I`m not prepared to try them to find out for certain. Quote
Peacefield Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I think seafood is probably my favorite type of food, although there is probably plenty out there I've never tried - like swordfish. As far as sushi goes, I've only ever tried veggie rolls and just yesterday I had a California roll, which has veggies and crab. Both super yummy! I'll have to try more. I do know that I had shark fin once and disliked the consistency. Quote
Charm Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 There are lots of "fishy" foods I haven`t tried, I just don`t think I`d like them but I`m not prepared to try them to find out for certain. I don't eat anything from the sea and have no desire to try anything that swims Quote
pipread Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I don't eat anything from the sea and have no desire to try anything that swims I sort of wish I did eat fish though, because it is good, health wise, for you, but I`m still not trying it! Quote
Ben Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I love mussels. In Skiathos - Greece, on holiday, they did a lovely mussels in red wine sauce with rice. It was lovely! Quote
bethany725 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 But sushi isn't raw fish - it's vinegared rice. Raw fish - isn't that sashimi? Sushi may contain raw fish - but not necessarily. Sorry to be pedantic. I love sushi, but I've never had it with raw fish, don't really want to either. You can get lots of fillings, chicken, beef, fruit, vegetable. There are different forms of sushi -- and the "forms" are named differently and read on menus differently depending on where you are. Many menus separate "sushi" from "sashimi" .. but there's a lot more types than JUST those two categories, and sushi in general has many forms and types. This (from Wikipedia) may help too, if we must make distinctions.. I'm sure in Japan, there are REALLY strict terms for each variation, but having never spent time in Japan in my life, I tend to be more lax about the terminology. There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or algae) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし). And you're right.. it definitely doesn't always contain raw fish. In fact, most of the time, the fillings in maki rolls are typically at least seared, if not actually cooked. But lots of people are put off ALL sushi because some forms of it do involve raw fish or raw seafood.. That's the only reason I asked about the aversion to raw fish. Usually, that's the culprit!

Chimera Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Oysters. And I'm definitely not trying them, ever. I realised last WE only that you're actually meant to eat them alive. That was an interesting moment to witness... Quote

Chrissy Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I've tried oysters - wasn't impressed. Just cold and slimey. I hope they were dead! Quote
