White or Dark meat?

lizzie said:
You know, it's a mystery to me how men seem to enjoy taking a **** so much. I guess if I had a prostate I'd understand. :lol:

As to your query:
White meat. Plain white meat, smoked, baked, or fried, with dressing made of half cornbread, and half white bread, and a little bit of gravy. Plain southern gal.

Most of my life I had no problems and associated the potty with a simple time consuming chore. But as I aged, the frequency and quality took a serious dive. :shock:

Me liking the dark meat so much worked well in my family because mom strictly liked the white and dad preferred both, so it was usually eaten evenly.
 
I don't care what name you put on the menu. It's not calamari, it's squid. If you have to change the name to make it more socially acceptable, you're admitting it's questionable to begin with.
 
Leftovers:

A combo of white and dark for soups, etc.

White only for sandwiches.

Sandwiches are white turkey meat, sourdough or french bread (wheat can work, too, in a pinch, but is not preferred), mayo, and salt. That's it. Anything else is blasphemy.

I think it is more that we have so much more crap to get rid of to make room for more crap than women do.

I used to fish every weekend for years. Catfish is one of my favorites, especially blackened. If it were considered healthier and my stomach could handle it, I'd eat more BBQ. I love grilled food but not too heavily smoked. When I grilled I used charcoal, with a small amount of hickory chips for extra flavoring. Gas grills too me are the same as cooking indoors...lol

No, on the squid. I've tried some sushi and we weren't happening. Tasteless chewy stuff that requires a hot sauce to give it flavor is not for me. I've had plenty of wonderful Asian foods though.

Ditto on the gas grills. Real men do not use gas, they pass it. No on the sushi for me too. Does anyone except the Japanese eat that stuff? I never seen it in all my time in Southeast Asia. Ate a bunch of stuff there that I learned not to ask what it was. Fried Bat was one of those.

I got the idea of fried squid from over there. They had these clay charcoal pots with the squid stretched across it. I got where I loved the stuff. The Thai's did Octopus the same way.
 
Turkey is not one of my favorites. I will eat turkey sandwiches, white meat. I'm good with chicken but not the second day. It always tastes skunked to me the next day. Fish, I love it. Squid isn't a fish, is it. I hate squid. Rubbery.

I like to smoke meat: beef, pork, chicken, sausage, etc. I smoke all year round. I grill it also, but smoked meat is special and I like messing with it, getting the fire just right. Smoked chicken injected with garlic sauce is excellent.

That skillet with the hash in it looks fantastic, Grip. That kind of food rocks me. I love sausage and cabbage with a little bit of pepper flakes and caraway seeds for a quick meal.

I do miss Florida seafood. Nobody cooks seafood like Florida. It's just perfect most anywhere you eat in Florida.

That really doesn't explain it. There is a physiological reason that it is pleasurable for men, as opposed to just something that is a mundane bodily function for women.

I think Sushi and Sashimi are primarily Japanese cuisine, though the other Asian cultures have the share of exotic dishes. A friend of mine was eating something called Balut (Cambodian dish) that he said was delicious. When he asked what it was, he almost threw up when they told him it was deep fried chicken embryos.


One of the best dishes I've eaten was a spicey Thai dish with peanut butter and noodles. It's rich and has to be eaten slowly not to get queasy from it, but the taste is phenomenal.

For me it's more of going from a bloated uncomfortable feeling from stomach to my chest, to the relief from the pressure. I don't find the actual act of defecating physically pleasurable, though opinions may vary. I'm sure the faces and noises are probably similar to what some men do while playing 'hide the salami.' :lol:

I used to get a skillet breakfast from a restaurant chain called The Village Inn. It was served hot in a small iron skillet with scrambled eggs, diced ham and sausage, hash potatoes, onions and cheese. I would get one on the way to a day of fishing, so I could skip trying to eat a lunch on the surf.

Florida seafood is second to none, especially those little mom & pop dives right on the water front. Their fried grouper, fish sandwiches.. with home made tartar sauce, onion rings, coleslaw and hush puppies. Dude, shut the front door! We have a place that charcoal grills hand sized, butterfly shrimp with a garlic, lemon, herb butter marinade that's just outstanding. ;)

I'm not sure I ever had Lamb. Besides turkey, I never cared all that much for chicken either. Although I eat it quite a lot. Beef, pork and fish along with whatever I shot. Now before I retired from Ft. Bragg, they had one of these organizational days where FORSCOM brought in some folks who BBQ these humongous Turkey legs. The kind you see the kings eat in those old knights and kings movies. Now that was good. So good the other day when I seen Walmart selling the huge turkey legs, I bought one. Good for lunch and dinner.

A barbequed or grilled turkey, that's good stuff if its done right. Get a good rub on the turkey breast and nice mild type sauce to brush on at the end of grilling, oh yea good eats.:)

A turkey sandwich after Thanksgiving, is not one unless it has cranberries or sauce.

Heat is heat, fire is fire, whether it comes from gas or from dead trees. I care not where the heat comes from so long as I have the means to control it. If I do, I can make tasty goodness.

Sushi another word for bait. Its eaten all the time in California and Hawaii. I don't eat bait. Even if its cooked.

I learned as you have, to never ask when eating overseas, "What's this?" Especially if I want to keep it down. Its a personal form of don't ask, don't tell.

I don't usually have stuffing on thanksgiving because I don't like it in the turkey. Onions are good though. Especially the Walla Walla sweets.

I've heard different. And got blamed.




Did I say that out loud? Let's note that I no longer, and have not for some time, take part in such activities.

:lol:

After 30 years as an RN, most of that time being in direct care, my observation is that men enjoy it, and women obsess about it.

I believe the statement was (this was decades ago and I no longer engage in such antics, so don't judge me)... "Oh, great. Thanks to you, I get wet when I take a big crap."



And... back to Thanksgiving dinner talk...

That's because it is so often overcooked. I promise you, when cooked properly it will make your tongue hard.

As good as FL seafood is, and it is, it is no comparison to what we get in Seattle.

I find that you have to eat it when it is still hot. The more it cools, the tougher it gets.

As for the rest of your post, I am not that big of a fan of smoked meats. My uncle has a smoke house though and is fanatical about it.

Honestly? I had a male boss tell me once that when a man orgasms, it has basically the same feeling as a really good bowel movement. Basically, it's just an "evacuation" and nothing more.

If that's true, I feel sorry for y'all. When it happens to us, it's like fireworks. Guess it's a trade off for not being able to pee standing up. :shrug:

Risky - did you ever eat at Bottom Feeders when you were in this area? OMG -- so good. Seafood fritters that I could make a meal off of, but I won't do that, because I can't pass up those huge, sweet Georgia shrimp.
 
I absolutely love sushi. All kinds, raw and cooked. The only ones I usually pass on are the ones that have an excess amount of nori. Too much nori and I start having problems swallowing it.

I also love squid. Love, love, love them. When they are cooked properly, they literally just melt in your mouth. But it's a very fine line, cooking them right. If you undercook them, or overcook them, you are like chewing on a tire. But hit that sweet spot? Oh yeah - like buttah.

Sushi bars and restaurants started booming in the 80's, now they are practically everywhere- in a way its like eating raw oysters, you get a taste of the sea- too many westerners eat it the wrong way, they put too much soy and wasabi on it and it drowns out the subtle flavors. Practically all luxury hotels have a sushi bar now as part of their buffet spread. I prefer sashimi myself, thats essentially raw seafood without the rice.

The big new Asian restaurants sweeping the world now are ramen and pho houses.
