I got tired of those damn filet-o-fishes...

 

What do you guys eat?

Long Jhon Silvers Fish 'n more. I love that batter they use to deep fry that fish.

Had pizza tonight (rare, I don't like it).

Faux hamburgers and hotdogs, meatless chili, curried rice/tofu, the possibilities are endless--if you want to go to the effort to cook....

Capybara.

 

 

No joke, in lots of Central and South America, capybara is a huge Lenten Friday dietary staple. Because it is aquatic, locals conveniently think of it as a fish (albeit a hairy, 4-legged, distinctly rodent-like fish), and figure that's good enough for a few fridays every year.

 

Amazing God hasn't caught on to all these religious loopholes people keep coming up with.

do cats count?

Tonight, I ate some soup and a salad.

Jumbo shrimp is a good way to go, but I'm not sure what types of fish you like (it seems every person is different -- my brother loves salmon and tuna, I'm more of a shrimp guy).

 

Pasta and Pizza are always good too. Fedduccini Alfredo when made right is really, really good...

Today i had some pasta for lunch and cheese pizza for dinner. I've also went the chili route, or soup/salad.

tacos, burritos, enchiladas, all made with beans. Various stir fry meals. Pastas with Alfredo, marinara, etc. Shrimp. Chili, Yada yada yada, I told you about the bisque? Remember you really can tuna fish.

 

To make it easy, visit the box meals and pick up a Lipton rice side dish, then visit the tuna fish aisle. Mix them together. This is a huge favorite while backpacking.

Isn't that called nutria here in the US?

 

A beaver like thing that chews saplings, has a nice pelt, and Mmmmm good to eat?

 

Article here re: Eating Out

Efforts by LA to get you to eat a rat

Nutria and capybara are different species. Nutria (Myocastor coypus) is more rat-like and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are more cute and cuddly and guinneapig-like. Note the long, rat tail on the nutria, and the near-lack of tail (vestigial) on Homer's Lenten snack. Nutrias actually use the tail for part of their swimming propulsion, much like mustellids (weasel family)

We go to a Fish Fry every Friday.

Which are better tasting?

I've only had nutria so I cannot make a comparison. The nutria wasn't bad. Tasted like rat, er.., chicken, yeah chicken.

I never had rat, so I couldn't compare. How was the rat prepared and how was the Nutria prepared?

I've actually not had rat, as far as I know. I just know that all of the things I've had that are supposed to taste like chicken (gator, rattlesnaje, froglegs, etc.) don't.

Mmmm rattlesnake, great slow roasted over a fire or grilled. A little greasy, but if you give it enough time, not directly on the heat, the grease seems to cook out.

 

I thought that LA strategy to controll nutria by teaching people to eat them was awesome, too bad it isn't working. The cost is hurting for one thing, 5 minutes to process them is about 5X longer than commercially viable.

Fish, fish, & more fish. It helps that I love seafood.

Shrimp is the best food God ever gave us. I love it to death.

But I enjoy crab, squid, perch, catfish, sushi, cod, salmon, & tuna.

There are so many different varieties to choose from today that I don't really consider it a sacrifice.

 

Instead I try to cut down on ice cream

Cheese pizza, fish & chips, salmon, tuna casserole, pierogis with cheese/potato filling, shrimp fried rice, stuff like that.

 

NO, not all at the same meal!!!!!

( The wife won't allow that..... )

Unfortunately, I'm allergic to shrimp. I love the taste, but it makes me violently ill.
