Friday OT #2 - Untasted Waters

Never had lobster either. Would like to try it, but not wanting to spend $40 for something I might not like.

Agree. $$ is a major factor for me. If I'm going to eat an ugly-looking sea-dweller that's alive in a tank as I enter a restaurant, and I have to spend mega-bucks to eat the dead version, it needs to be the best f***** thing I've ever tasted.
 
Gyro meat is usually 80% beef and 20% lamb. Speaking of which, I made up a large batch of my own and I still believe I have a batch in the freezer. I should thaw that and make Gyro Burgers.

Not as good as eatery-gyro, but my grocery store has frozen-food Opaa gyro kit, and it's quite authentic. Just have to get tomato and onion separately (it has the pita and cucumber sauce included).

3 things my sig-O cringes when I order at a restaurant: Gyro, bone-in wings and deep-fried shrimp.

Sushi/Sashimi. Yes, I know that not all sushi contains raw fish, but I don't ever want to take that chance. I have cleaned more than enough fish in my day to know that the texture would probably make me vomit. I will try just about anything at least once and there are very few dishes I don't like. It's not about taste, the ingredients look great, except for the chance of hitting raw fish. it's the texture that creeps me out. The closest I have ever come is lox and that isn't even cooked enough for me to deal with the texture, I can only imagine what actual raw fish would taste like.

Add me to the lamb is great crowd. Just bake a leg of lamb with nothing added and I'll make sandwiches with it morning, noon and night.

Go grab a boneless leg of lamb at Costco. Cut it up into skewer size pieces. Season with garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Grill to medium/med rare. Enjoy.

To my recollection, I have never eaten a banana. The smell repulses me.

A lot of my friends eat sushi - tons of it. I went with them for years and ordered teriyaki chicken. I finally caved one day - damn, I had no idea what I was missing. It's now the first thing on the list when the option is available.
 
Considering my SO's family are Asian immigrants, I've been to meals where the most palatable thing was the fried chicken feet.
My next door neighbor recently returned from a trip to Southern China. He decided to be authentic. For two meals, he had pigeon and donkey leg.

If it doesn't have a bone, it's not a wing, it's a chicken nugget.

Chicken Feet and Water Cockroaches,

Chicken feet cuz I am not sure what there is to eat there, and I grew up on a farm I know where those feet have been.

Water Cockroaches, in some restaurants in China, they will prepare fresh Water Cockroaches.
Unlike with U.S. restaurants the presence of cockroaches is encouraged
