OT: 87th Obsequious Banter Thread: Don't be Brash

Raw oysters on the half with a drizzle of lemon and cocktail sauce ≥ crabs > lobster = mussels

I've never tried raw oysters and it's possible that I never will. I mean, I accept that they are very good but it's just gross.

 

[Jack Straw]

I'm guessing @FlyerNutter is going to say walleye.

I'm not a huge fan of eating fish, but walleye is delicious.

Never had it. I'll have to try it.

 

[Jack Straw]

What is the proper roll for them anyway? While mine was very good...the fresh lobster..the bread was a bit scant tbh.

Hot dog roll.

 

[Beef Invictus]

You can put a stick of butter on a hot dog bun and eat it. Go ahead. It's good.

One stick of butter is fine. Probably even healthy.

 

[Appleyard]

Never been a butter fan. Even the good Danish and Irish stuff.

Only ever voluntarily put it on toast, crumpets and potato cakes.

It makes me ill when people butter sandwiches. And iller when butter and then put on mayo or mustard or ketchup... tastes so weird with a sauce on top.

A block of butter usually lasts me a year ahaha.

A good steak doesn’t NEED anything but gets enhanced by stuff. Corn on the cob needs at least salt and butter at the least.

the quality of corn on the cob down there must be sub par

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Lobster roll is hit or miss, depends where you get it.

me I would rather not waste lobster by using mayo. I don’t care how little you use. Now lobster mac and cheese is the shit

Yeah, the best lobster rolls I've had here didn't use mayo. Lobster Mac and cheese... yes.

I want to see you take a bite out of a brick of butter to prove you have had it before.

Nobody has claimed the corn isn't good enough to be great on it's own. It's just that the butter makes it even better. This is what butter does. Please eat butter.

One mussel, no not really a problem. But a whole bowl of them, in that sauce that they come in where some of them might be submerged and you have to fish around for them... that's a little work. But I never, EVER, said mussels are too much work. That would be insane.

I personally go for the whole lobster, even the legs if I'm really motivated. But for someone who thinks it's "too much work", just go for the tail. Beginners.

I am not sure what sauce you are referring to. Up here, most placed steam them in garlic and white wine when you get a bowl as an appetizer.

I too eat the whole lobster. The "bodies" that most don't bother with, usually yield enough for a little sandwich...but it does take time to pick that meat out.

I still would never tell a beginner to not eat the claw and knuckles due to too much work....it's worth the effort!

I was looking at prices today and they have gone thru the roof. They are $17.99 a lb....$18.99 if they cook them for you(supermarket prices....restaurants are way higher)

That's what I meant. I just used sauce in the generic, liquid-y sort of sense.

Every copy of that movie should be incinerated. Then all of the ashes should be locked in a vault. The vault should then be airlifted and dropped into the Mariana Trench.

You've demonstrated throughout the years to be incapable of providing good food takes. This one about butter is no different.

 

[Beef Invictus]

All these butterphobes have been passing false judgement upon me from a position of false moral authority.

I thought I was the only one. My family looks at me weird when I opt out on butter.

You are obviously overly sensitive and overreacting to the situation. Nobody is saying butter is bad. Only that, like all things in life, there is a time and a place. Butter on toast? Fine. On pancakes and waffles? Better than fine. Sometimes when I make spaghetti, and sauce from a jar is too much work, I’ll just melt butter in the noodles, dump in some parmesan cheese and some broccoli (steamed of course) and voila.

But corn on the cob?

When I was a kid I used to put butter and salt on my corn on the cob.

But when I became a man I put away childish things. Except Fruit Loops. I still like those.

Edit: And as Whitey always used to tell us, Tastykakes are made with “milk, butter, and eggs”. And TKs rock. So yes, up with butter. Just not on corn.
