Just got back from eating $74 of dim sum with a buddy of mine. I don't like a lot of seafood but I at least tried some of their seafood items (some kind of shrimp pastries, etc)

$74 worth for yourself? You trying to turn into Tuconious?

No, that was the total for two people. Still was a lot of dim sum though.

I'm jealous. I love seafood of all sorts and live in the middle of the damned country.

This is the same thing for me. Even worse my ex is from Fall River, MA and she hated just the smell of seafood. Which is torture for me since that meant I basically couldn't eat it around her for the 2 years I lived out there.

I live in Somerset. Right over the braga bridge

That would be a relationship deal breaker for me about 2 weeks in,i don't know how you made it two years. He'll i almost broke up with a girl once because she hated the Smahing Pumpkins so much that i couldn't listen to them around her, and i like seafood 1000x more than Billy Corgan.

Quesalupa was a huge disappointment.

My brother has a friend that eats almost nothing but fast food, frozen pizzas, and fish sticks. He will pass up gourmet dinners for that shit. Whenever he's at a function with food, he'll get a plate and put a tiny portion of whatever it is on there and eat a bite or two and then an hour later you'll see him with a bag of fucking McDonald's.

Adults that eat like children fucking rustle me hard.

God, I hate people like this. Ewwww, it has something that's icky on it, I won't try it

Sounds like he did try it, just didn't like it.

Add me to the hates pretty much all seafood. I mean if you cover up the taste of it enough I can eat it, but that kind of defeats the purpose of it right?

I use "I hate all seafood" as a sign to immediately disregard any food related opinions that person has. Almost everyone who says this had some fish once or twice when they were a kid and judge all seafood based on that experience.

If seafood tastes fishy - it's poorly done or gone bad - the grand majority of seafood doesn't taste fishy in a good state. I don't like fishy seafood - but there's TONSSSSSSS of seafood that I enjoy.

It's alright man, eat your shit-eating fish while I just go turf-only. More beef for me when you fags are eating squishy turd nuggets from the sea.

Thin Mints right out of the freezer for me.

Late to the game(goddamn you fools post a lot on the weekend), but this is pretty much the only way and type of Girl Scout cookies I eat. Granted, Tagalongs could kill me.

I find there isn't much of a taste difference between the Quesalupa and a Chalupa. It just has a little bit more cheese than what a normal one would have and cost like $1.50 more.

A lot of seafood has a similar "squishy" texture. Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, that sort of stuff. When people say they don't like seafood, they might not mean all seafood, they just don't want to get into a nuanced discussion that's going to end unsatisfactorily.

I don't mind the taste of the aforementioned foods, broths or stocks made from them are great, just can't get away from the texture. Same reason I don't like mushrooms. I'll gladly eat most fish.

Couple complicating factors: good seafood is more expensive than good turf, sometimes even when you live on the coast. How long the food stays fresh plus price can deter a lot of people from trying the food. Thus they are left with bad impressions because they tried poor representations.

It's ok man, no need to defend my argument - I am a fag.
