AceClown posted:I'm 42 and have never eaten lobster. No idea why, I love seafood, just never had it. I've had lobster and you're not missing much. I mean, it's like a giant shrimp as far as taste and texture but a little milder and a little softer? Sometimes it's hard to tell under all the garlic butter. But it's not some kind of orgasmic food. Crab legs are about the same, just harder to get into. As far as seafood I really prefer shrimp, fried softshell crab or mussels unless it's in a sushi because then eel is the loving best. The best lobster I ever had was on a lobster, bacon and arugula pizza. It was fantastic. All that being said, I've never had oysters. I have watched a ton of food people try them and rave about them but the texture just looks horrific. I honestly think I would try them but I would gag 100% on trying to swallow it. I'd try them but none of my friends are food adventurers. They are all of the very safe food people so like, I'm the adventurous one ordering Indian food, ffs, it's just spicy chicken and spicy gravy plus rice.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Nice try but everyone knows gas station sushi is not a real thing and is just a harmful stereotype about the states. I live in Atlantic Canada and we have gas station lobster. It's a common thing during lobster season to see someone parked at a gas station and selling live lobster from the back of their truck. Best lobster too since it's usually fresh off the boat that morning and cheaper by a few bucks a pound compared to the local markets.

Not in any way defending coffee hand biter, but caffeine withdrawal isn't a fun time, it makes you nasty and snappy and a lot of people don't realise why. It's the reason survival shows go to poo poo within the first few days, people just can't cope with it. That being said, lol, just get some caffeine tablets and suck it up.

One of them was being iterated on in a live thread so some troll bought the other one under the name the thread was hoping to use for it. Nothing to do but finish perfecting it and then buy it under the name that would have been more appropriate for the other one. I just don't remember which was which.

You’re describing truck lobster, which is a real and legitimate business, unlike gas station lobster/sushi which is a mean-spirited urban legend.

greazeball posted:You could just buy him some kind of coffee rig as a cheeky thank you gift 1.) The coffee maker gets tossed in the back of a cabinet or some top shelf of a closet (possibly still in the box) because it's not worth wasting counter space on something that you'll never use. 2.) It is then forgotten about for months or years until you have someone over who asks for coffee and remember it...but of course, you still don't have coffee grinds because why the hell would you, it still doesn't get used. 3.) Eventually, you move to a new place and either throw it in the trash or donate it, having never once used it.

Wait some people just own 'tea cups'' like it's 1900? I drink both coffee and tea and use mugs for both. Mugs are my warm fluid dispenser, also good for hot chocolate the one time a year it's made. The idea of some special cup just for tea is so weird to me.

I had lobster for the first time this year (that I remember) and while the meat bit was okay, the sauce I made from the shell bits was fantastic. And that was a pretty fresh one too. Oysters are tasty - and if you eat mussels, then oysters will be fine. StrangersInTheNight posted:Wait some people just own 'tea cups'' like it's 1900?

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for not having a traditional wedding even though my fiance wants one? Those are the bullshit kind of traditions. Good traditions are about a sense of continuity with the past, helping give weight and meaning to a momentous occasion. They help people feel closer together by partaking in a shared ritual all the parties know and accept. We don't hear much about those kinds of traditions though except when people break them.

Sometimes it's hard to tell under all the garlic butter. I was going to give you poo poo for the garlic butter, which seems kind of overpowering for lobster, but then I remembered the time I had "lobster pie" which is lobster meat in a dish topped with melted butter and garlic ritz crackers. It was so good I went into a weird trance where I only remember eating the pie, and how tasty it was. No memory of surroundings or conversation from the time I started to the time I finished. Anyways, vintage Dear Prudence, Edgelord Roommate Edition quote:Dear Prudence, quote:It is very reasonable and not at all immature to say, “I don’t want pictures of serial killers all over my walls.” By no standard of the maturation process is it reasonable to say, “By such-and-such an age, you must feel extremely comfortable falling asleep under a poster of Ed Gein.” If your roommate isn’t willing to compromise, then I think it’s worth involving an RA or your university’s housing office. She can look at serial killers all she likes, just not on the walls you two have to share. —D.L.
