We went through a sushi phase, many years ago. We thought "Oh, it's healthy and delicious, the perfect meal". Well, after many of these meals, we realized a few things:
- all that rice isn't really that good for you;
- it's expensive to get a meal of just sushi;
- you tend to start looking for something more to eat after an hour.
So now, we'll have it as an appetizer. But I'm sure that bowl you had was a good time!

It's amazing how a person can rip into a bloody, chewy, gamey steak without a 2nd thought; but a completely flavorless, odorless, refined and manicured little square of tuna sends people running.
I have an understanding for people who won't try raw oysters or clams, or eat fishy fish. And some people are put-off by shellfish. But sushi is about as mild and devoid of any character as the rice it's wrapped in. This is just my observation; ultimately, it doesn't affect me.

Where did I say I liked steak tartar or raw beef or chicken or pork? I like my steak medium. If you cooked sushi medium I would probably try it.
I never said raw. But eating a medium-cooked steak, or chicken on the bone, or pork, veal, or lamb, or even ground beef is really a disgusting, barbaric thing (and I do all those things). Everything about it makes it clear you're tearing into an animal. To me, sushi is the opposite of that. That's all I'm saying. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, just making an observation.
If an alien beamed down to earth, which one of these would he most likely judge as more crude?
Prolly not, but I never really worry about that.
True, but I make a meal of it anyway.
Not that night, sir. Not that night.
I'm like a kid in a candy store. If the places i go to didn't have so many great rolls, it would be easier to have it as an app and move on to a dinner.
Mild yes, but full of good flavor and character IMO.
Now I'm hungry again.
We're going out for a wicked good Steak Saturday night.
The last few years we've been going out to a fancy steak-house on Christmas Eve. We had to bump it to Saturday this year, but a big dry-aged medium rare steak is waiting for me.
If IRBS isn't a fan of the raw fish, an old steak that is on the edge of rotting (in controlled conditions) is probably not going to be on his plate either.
So I can make french fries now and they're really good.
I know I sound dumb but I had no idea this would work.
Slice a few russet potatoes really thin, throw a bunch of sea salt on them and toss them in the air fryer at 375 for 15 mins and they come out crunchy and delicious.

Even as a kid, I knew that jambalaya and gumbo and etoufee were regional dishes, and we’re eating these things weekly but the rest of America is not.
I guess I never saw Red Beans and Rice the same way, but I guess it’s more a local favorite also.
Do you guys never partake in some good red beans and rice? With Andouille sausage of course.

My wife would occasionally order red beans and rice from Popeyes. I have never nor would I ever partake in the dish. I am not a beans person.Even as a kid, I knew that jambalaya and gumbo and etoufee were regional dishes, and we’re eating these things weekly but the rest of America is not.

Never had any of 'em. And like IRBS, I'm not a bean guy (unless it's Campbell's pork & beans)
They have seafood jambalaya here, such as the place we just went to, which does it with haddock, mussels, shrimp, chicken, and sausage. I used to order jambalaya (however they made it) at just about any place I went to for a while, especially at brewpubs. But in recent years, I've cut back on that kind of stuff, especially when eating late. I know of gumbo, probably had it here and there. I'm not familiar with an etoufee, so I'm not sure about that.
We do chili with red beans, and of course Mexican black beans and rice. I've probably had it with red beans, rice, and sausage a few times over the years. I was in Huntsville AL for work, and I had that at a barbecue place with pulled pork.
I've also had paella, which seems like it's in the same category. A neighbor in NH was making giant pans of it at a yard party, with a live bluegrass band playing.
It surprises me how 'south' NH can be at times, especially the further north you go. You'd swear you were in Alabama if it weren't for the 2 feet of snow.
