34. Had One in Around 1993

Was visiting a chemical manufacturing site near Pontchartrain.
The plant manager, at the end of the day, took us to dinner.
Place looked liked a dump!
It was ok inside, but I ordered the crawfish etouffee.
It was so good, I would, 32 years later if they were still there, fly to New Orleans, drive there for lunch, and fly home.
It was that good!
I've been to NO a half-dozen times, & that was the best version I've ever had.
I actually make a mean etouffee myself, but not as good as that one.

-on bread spread w/cream cheese/



My wife & I had so many tuna subs while she was pregnant that
our son to this day can't eat tuna fish!

Sure got the smarts tho'!

[debm55]

33. HAHAHAHAHA. Thank you very much, justaprogressive.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Shrimp

Scampi, Alfredo, Thai curry style, boiled, skewered...
Yeah, I know I sound like Forrest Gump, but I could do shrimp as my only protein forever.

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much ProfessorGAC, Shrimp is my to meal every Friday during Lent

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Back In College...

...I ran the fish fry at the banquet hall where I worked as a janitor.
Fridays during Lent were like being in rush hour traffic for 4&1/2 hours.
We served fried shrimp as one of our menu items.
We served over 800 dinners on Fridays during Lent. Under 500 the rest of the year.
Despite that, I still love fish & shrimp!

[debm55]

44. Me too. We have a church across the river that sells the best fish and shrimp. However they are only during lent. Bummer

This year they had a call ahead. But it was still packed with people,

[electric_blue68]

45. Have you ever had Shrimp Tandoori? Oooh, yum!

[ProfessorGAC]

49. I Sure Have!

And, you're absolutely correct.
I make a weird mash-up of Indian & Scampi that my wife loves. Garlic, garam masala, white wine, ghee, lime, red bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and basil. (Plus, spices(
I think you'd like it.

[electric_blue68]

62. Intriguing! 👍

I can't do hot spicing jalapeños may be my limit, although I seem to be able to take some red pepper flakes in General Tsao's chicken, go figure! 🤔😄

Otherwise I probably can eat shrimp just about any other way except I've never liked any cheese and related except possibly yogurt. Hmmm, not sure. Haven't had shrimp in 2+ yrs.

The Indian restaurant I was getting take out from when I lived in a different nabe seems to have gone down hill. Last year's reviews.
That's where I had the tandoori shrimp.
I'll have to recheck latest reviews. I'd take a bus to get there if they've really improved.

[nuxvomica]

36. Hunan chicken

From a Chinese takeout restaurant in the next town. I get a large order and eat a third of it reserving the rest for a few lunches thereafter. I believe I could live in it while my number-one food choice is popcorn popped in a Whirley-Pop using Filippo Berio olive oil, drizzled with real butter and seasoned with the finest, literally, popcorn salt. Problem is, I don't think I could live on that for long.

[debm55]

37. Thank you very much for sharing with us, nuxvomica. Enjoy.

[JoseBalow]

38. Tough call! I'd have to go with English Trifle

[debm55]

41. OH MY. That looks delicious. Thank you JoseBalow. Enjoy.

39. Deb - Avoid albacore tuna - go with light tuna or skipjack

Deb - Consumer Reports says to only have one to three (four oz servings) a week because of mercury in tuna. Way less for children and pregnant women - if any!


(In their tests, Albacore has 3 times more mercury than light tuna because it’s a bigger tuna)

How Worried Should You Be About Mercury in Your Tuna?
CR tested canned tuna from Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, StarKist, and other popular brands. Here's our advice for pregnant people, and everyone else.

Because so many people eat tuna, and because of its potential risks, CR tested five popular brands of canned tuna for mercury: Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, StarKist, Safe Catch, and Wild Planet. We found a wide range in mercury levels between types of tuna as well as among different brands. Light and skipjack varieties, for instance, contain much less mercury on average than albacore tuna. (Note that the type of tuna in pouches is the same as what’s in cans, but we did not test pouches.)

One big takeaway is that albacore has much more mercury than light or skipjack tuna, regardless of the brand. That’s not surprising, since albacore is larger and lives longer than the tunas that make up the light tuna or skipjack tunas. But the disparity was quite wide: The albacore products had three times more mercury, on average, than the others.

That albacore has more mercury than light tuna is well-known among scientists and seafood experts, but CR’s recent survey found that it may be news to the average consumer. About half of Americans said they did not know that different varieties of canned tuna have different levels of mercury. And 18 percent said that they didn’t know that canned tuna has any mercury at all.

[debm55]

43. Thank you very much for sharing that with us. I buy the small cans of Starkist and chicken of the sea. The light brand I

had , but I now have albacore. Thank you for the post and link, which I read. I will have to ask my doctor as I just finished Physical Therapy on my leg. They thought it was a blood clot. It was't.They gave me pain pills instead.

[electric_blue68]

46. Have to choose between white pizza (w a parmasan base), lamb korma w rice, nan bread and the little "sauces", or

Greek lamb shesh kabob skewers w lamb, onion, and orange, yellow peppers.

Dessert: Talenti's Double Dark Chocolate Gelatow vermouth. I don't care about the vermouth, it's slight, and not my favorite taste; got used to it, but oooh, the chocolate and these incredible little shards of dark chocolate "chips". While really prefer chocolate, they make it with black raspberry. Quite tasty!

Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk, or Chocolate Therapy.

Between this andcthe eggs post - I'm glad I have some snacks handy! 😄

[debm55]

47. Wow, thank you very much, electric_blue68, they are wonderful. Thank you.

[sestina]

48. Tacos -

jalapeno flavor hard shells with chicken, black beans, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, onion, jalapeno, and avocado.
Dessert: Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

[debm55]

55. A chicken salad wrap with lettuce, tomato and bacon,

From Sarge’s Deli and diner. 3rd Avenue in NYC. I can eat it until I’m ill.

[debm55]

60. Oh don't do that. Thank you very for your choice,pdxflyboy.

[PlanetBev]

56. Here we go

Lasagna, antipasto salad and garlic bread. For dessert, Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream.

I’m lactose intolerant, so I’d most likely blow the covers off my bed.

[debm55]

61. Anytime, Deb

We need all the laughs we can get at this time.

[Aristus]

57. With no penalty to my health?

Sausage.

The advantage to this is that there are so many thousands of varieties of sausage, I could have a different one at every meal, and not repeat for a number of years.

[debm55]

58. I never though of that. Thank you very much, Aristus.

[DFW]

63. Tough choice

Either: A Turkish döner kebap with marinated chicken, spicy paprika powder, crushed garlic juice. With lettuce tomato, sweet onions and tzatziki in the Syrian bread holder.

0r a grilled Japanese teriyaki chicken done with finely chopped spring onions

Or, if nutrition is guaranteed and fat and sugar are not, my grandmother used to make an unreal dark chocolate layer cake with a perfectly textured dark chocolate that was half coffee. I have never had anything like it before or since.
