Lobster Thermidor for 6 tonight. It seems a bit pricey but a meal for two in a restaurant would have been more. As I'm getting free accommodation I thought it justified pushing the boat out. ( Kustardy - really sausage and chips with free scraps and Vimto)
Lobster is very overrated in my opinion, only beaten in the overrated stakes by scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Utter pish.
I should have added truffle to that, another thing that is ****e. No wonder the pigs eat it when they find it and then the handlers thought the dogs were smart enough to find it and not eat it. Which they are.
Agree. Lobster hugely overrated. Disagree. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is delish. Note. I dislike salmon when it's cooked. Awful taste and texture. Oysters? For me, they're yummy.
Normal salmon fillets with some cream cheese and then topped with breadcrumbs are very nice, as are the fillets marinated in soy sauce, but salmon can be very boring. I really like smoked salmon but with scrambled egg it is ****e.
Anyways plenty of oyster festivals over here come September washed down with buckets of Guinness, worth a visit if you fancy a weekend away, what's not to like
Never tried lobster or oysters. I’ve heard they taste like chicken. My sister made scallops once for a starter. With black pudding and pea purée. Scallops are fkn vile.
Pea puree? **** off. No wonder you hated it. Pea puree doesn't work with the black pudding nor the scallops. Your sister is a twat. Tell her I said so. Chicken has no taste. Bland meat. You have to give it some taste. Seen a cooking thing on the telly where an Indian chef refused to cook chicken breast in her curries, she cooked legs on the bone. Surprised me because there isn't marrow in chicken bones (as far as I know). Lobster - highly overrated - crab is better - neither taste like chicken Oysters - fresh out of the shell - beautiful. With our without a bit of lemon juice or even a bit of soy (believe or not) swish those ****ers around your mouth without chewing, you inhale the taste through your mouth like wine, and swallow. Orgasm. Scallops - another little delicious animal when fresh. Don't eat raw. Works tremendously with black pudding also haggis. Fantastic in a tagliatelle, for example. Don't let your sister near them until she stops being a twat.
