Subdeacon Joe Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I've got a reminder set on my calendar! I like caviar. First had it in my teens. The inexpensive stuff you can find in supermarkets. Salty, "oceany," and a little fishy. Then I got to try a better quality in the 1990s, BevMo had a tasting promotion for one of the California caviars, it was really good. Salty, a little nutty, a "hint of the sea" that's hard to really describe. I just can't justify spending that much money on it when my wife doesn't really care for it. One of the guys at church was a commercial fisherman and regularly brought in salmon caviar that he had put up himself. He'd make up platters of toast points with a little sour cream and his caviar. A real treat. And he would always donate a dozen or so half cup jars of it for the annual pre-Lent blini meal. 2 Quote

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I wouldn’t turn it down if offered, but I’m not going out of my way to get it. To me it kinda’ tastes like canned tuna packed in oil… 1 Quote

I guess I'm not lowbrow enough to like catfish or grits. Or sophisticated enough to like champagne. "Sophistication" has nothing to do with it. Some foods some people like instantly. Some they learn to like. Some they never develop a taste for. Some people think they're supposed to like something because of their social class and so eat it because of that. And sometimes people decide that they don't like something without giving it a fair shot because it's "too sophisticated" or "too common." 3 Quote
Alpo Posted February 4 Posted February 4 And some people just don't like the taste. My in-laws bought some Maine lobster one time. I have had people tell me that the reason it had the texture of rubber is because they overcooked it. Maybe so. But it tasted like shrimp. I like shrimp, but I can get shrimp for a whole lot less money than that lobster cost. So I have no intention of ever buying lobster. When I was a young teenager my father got from somebody a jar of caviar. To me it tasted exactly like sardines. With sardines at 49 cents a can and caviar at $10 a jar I saw no sense in eating caviar. 1 Quote
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 I'll try just about any food once. Shortcake does not appreciate "unfamiliar" food. She has a middle school menu; cheeseburgers, fried chicken, grilled cheese, pulled pork, etc. Typically, a 6th grade food selection. Craziest thing I ate was a balut. Her usual line, "Kiss me now, cause you're not kissing me after you eat that crap!" 2 4 Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Good smoked or fried catfish ranks much higher on my preference list than caviar! It’s just what I have always liked! If I have to “develop a taste” for something, it didn’t taste good to me to start with and I really don’t have time for that sort of thing when there a plenty of things that I know I DO like and many others that I have yet to try!! I don’t drink beer because I don’t like the taste!! I drank beer for a while because everyone else did and they all said that I would “develop a taste” for it! After a while, my “I’m now an adult and I don’t have to eat/drink things that I don’t like” attitude took over! There ARE things that I like when they’re prepared one way or another, but don’t like them prepared in other ways, so I’ll eat/drink ‘em the way I like ‘em and that’s that! There are things that I just don’t like! Don’t be offended, but if I say “no”, I mean exactly that! NO! If I haven’t tried something, I will probably take a taste. I may even try something a second time or prepared a different way, but if I don’t like it, nothing you say will get me to consume it willingly! 2 Quote

I'm kinda finicky, but generally like seafood. Definitely liked catfish when traveling down south. Now liver I will never even try, saw it raw once and that was it for me!! With all the meat on a critter I just don't really need the organs! 1 Quote

As a teenager I also drank beer because everybody drank beer and I would "develope a taste for it". But I didn't so I stopped. 2 Quote

Her usual line, "Kiss me now, cause you're not kissing me after you eat that crap!" I'll give something 2 or 3 tries. Mood, how something is prepared,what else is served with all can alter my perspective about something. Heck, sometimes I'll take a helping of something I really like, but that day it just tastes "off." 19 minutes ago, Alpo said: My in-laws bought some Maine lobster one time. I have had people tell me that the reason it had the texture of rubber is because they overcooked it. Maybe so. But it tasted like shrimp. I find it sweeter and richer than shrimp. But not worth the cost. The same as I really like the U8 prawns, but not enough to pay the premium over the 21-25s. Quote
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 4 Posted February 4 In my parlance, I don't see anything at McDonalds that qualifies as "FOOD" for human consumption. I wouldn't expect McCaviar to resemble human palatable food. 3 1 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 4 Posted February 4 To me catfish tastes like fishy mud. Tried it several times because people keep singing it's praises, but unless it's seasoned so strongly that all you taste is the seasoning, it still tastes like mud. ALL food preferences are learned, most at an early age. Usually so young that you don't realize that you are being trained to like it. Quote

ALL food preferences are learned, most at an early age. Usually so young that you don't realize that you are being trained to like it. I respectfully disagree! My folks tried to feed me certain foods from infancy and finally realized/admitted that I did not and would never like or willingly eat them! Green peas, beets, boiled asparagus and okra, boiled ham, creamed or kernel corn, and a few other things would sit on my plate ‘til doomsday and you couldn’t beat me or cajole me in any way to eat them! 😡🤢 I’d spit them out when they tried to make me eat them from the Gerber jars before I knew what I was eating and I once sat at the dinner table for six hours, refusing to eat green peas!! Even took a serious spanking more than once! And you can put eggplant and squash in that category too!🤮 Quote

I like shrimp, but I can get shrimp for a whole lot less money than that lobster cost. So I have no intention of ever buying lobster. Cook lobster OR shrimp too long and they both turn to rubber and, yeah, taste pretty much the same. Cooked properly, again, a world of difference in taste and texture. As with any seafood, there's a magic ten seconds. 1 hour ago, Blackwater 53393 said: I don’t drink beer because I don’t like the taste!! Same. Especially don't care for the dark, ropey stouts. But I usually keep some type of domestic around. On a hot summer day after mowing the yard there's nothing like an ice cold beer. 49 minutes ago, Subdeacon Joe said: To me catfish tastes like fishy mud. To me, any fresh water fish tastes like the water you fished it out of smells. The only FW fish I care for is fresh trout. On the other hand, I'll eat anything that comes out of the ocean. Well... except jellyfish & octopus. No desire to try snails. Wherever they come from. But I'll founder myself on conch fritters. 1 Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I tried snails once! They weren’t bad, but they were gawdawful rich!! I don’t know if I would have them again though. They, or something in that meal didn’t agree with me! 1 Quote

They, or something in that meal didn’t agree with me! Probably too much butter. That butter and garlic sauce that's usually with them can be deadly. As you say, they aren't bad. Not particularly good, either. I won't order them again, but I won't turn them down. 3 hours ago, Lawdog Dago Dom said: Craziest thing I ate was a balut. That's something that I can't quite wrap my head around. The people I know who have tried it say it's actually pretty good. And, it's a perfect example of learned food preference. If you were raised with it as a normal food, a fairly popular street food from what I understand, you probably like it. Or at least not dislike it. Quote

I use em to put them on my knee to alleviate the swelling! 😂😂😂 Now, I'm the opposite. Don't like canned peas, although I'll admit to not trying them in at least 30 years. Maybe the industry has gotten better. Fresh peas I like in salads, or just raw as a snack. For cooking, it's frozen every time. Quote

Nope the canned are no better than 30 years ago! I also don't mind and will add fresh peas to a salad. Will eat garden fresh popped from the pod like a snack, rarely but sometimes. 1 Quote
