Never tried ‘em, never will! But probably applies, for those who do eat them.
I agree with Jim Gaffigan on this point! I don’t like seafood at all. You can slather just about anything else in butter for me.
Growing up, almost my entire diet was unseasoned rice and seafood like fish and oysters. Water chestnuts are not "nothing", they have a slight sweetness to them that's not present naturally in other wild foodstuffs around SE asia. There's a crunch (texture is important!) as well which, as you might guess, is not at all a pleasant experience when you're having oysters.
Forget what I said about liking seafood. Oysters, clams, mussels... that's where I draw the line. Anything where you have to crack a rock open to eat the booger inside gets a "no, thank you" from me.
If there is, by some miracle, an afterlife, I do not want them to see what I’m up to thank you. Privacy is hard enough to find as it is.
I have had escargot, and yes, butter garlic and bread makes them very good
I didn’t say they “are nothing,” but that they “taste like nothing,” and I stand by that! They do have a crunch, and that texture is their entire point, along with taking up space and stretching the more expensive ingredients further. Seasoning is a must!
Yeah I don't eat it either anymore. But you eat them happily when the only dinner you're getting is what you can fish out of the Mekong river
Love chargrilled oysters with some butter sauce and jalapeñosYeah I don't eat it either anymore. But you eat them happily when the only dinner you're getting is what you can fish out of the Mekong river
D'ye have tha shinning, boy?
Have you had snails?
Well they tasted sweet to us, guess it depends on what your palate is used to, and they were a rare treat whenever mom could get her hands on some
starting to understand where you're coming from with your taco-purism now... foodstuffs are sacred.
It’s better than death
Admittedly. No. But...eeeewwww
I had the same thought till I went for it, not bad honestly
Snails are fine, you pretty much just taste garlic and butter.
Then why not eat just about anything non-snails covered in garlic and butter? Why subject yourself to the ick?! Just gimme some garlic knots
I tired to mostly to say I had. It was free so I wasn’t losing anything if I didn’t like it.Then why not eat just about anything non-snails covered in garlic and butter? Why subject yourself to the ick?! Just gimme some garlic knots

Which makes sense, as the boys were mostly based out of the Bay Area at the time.
