FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[DCAllAfrican]

Crab cake on a brioche with cheese is also good.

Nah. Don't do that to the beloved crab cake.

 

[Comparison Ford]

This is why Italians laugh at our “Italian” cuisine

Is that also why Marea, a Michelin-starred restaurant, serves lobster with burrata?

Crab Melts are everywhere. And they’re good.

 

[heelsandeers]

I can do parm/pecorino on most things. You won't find it in Italy which is fine but I don't see it as much of a problem

I think some of the hard/fast Italian food rules are more to follow tradition than out of necessity today/or because something doesn't pair well

Expand your palate brother.

Didn’t know they have a outpost in Italy also. Putting cheese on anything is an American thing

Their entire menu is coastal Italian.

But I’m not entirely sure what your grievance is here outside of some obstinate adherence to tradition.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Again I’m not saying putting cheese on fish should never be done but it just doesn’t go well on almost all fish dishes like it does with meat.

…so all of this to basically agree with what I was saying from the jump?

Good grief, man.

A coastal Italian menu made for a American palette is not the same as a Italian restaurant in Italy. And my grievance is that cheese overpowers fish I’m not talking a bout some lox, shrimp, squid or something fried. I’m talking about some seabass or halibut or salmon. Those are delicate fishes to put something like cheese that’s so overpowering and distinct in taste is a disservice to the protein and basically masks the star of the suppose dish the fish an afterthought

I guess it’s a good thing I never mentioned any of the fishes you were talking about.

But I think that’s enough brain cells for one day. Time for me to move on.

No chicken on pasta or pizza >>> no cheese on seafood

I always said fish and ya came at me with shrimp and squid, those aren’t fishes.

FWIW

Fish is a singular plural

“John caught a fish”
“John caught 5 fish”
“Good thing I never mentioned any of the fish you were talking about”
“You came at me with squid, and those aren’t fish”

Those California rolls with Philadelphia cream cheese…

Trash

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Expand your palate brother.

Nah. Not in this case.

It ruins the roll. I hate biting into a glob of cream cheese when eating any kind of sushi

 

[ahat]

Im not a big fan of rolls in general, esp the ones with all those sauces all over the place. Too much going on for me

Those rolls are for Americans that use the, "I don't like raw fish" excuse but still want to eat "sushi."

Shrimp/chicken tempura rolls*

I'll gobble down like 5 orders of those suckers though, with spicy mayo.

It’s a gateway “roll”.

Most people graduate once they get used to the cold temp, texture, and taste of a sushi roll.

For those that never graduate, if they eat California rolls I sure hope they aren’t bragging about it or posting it.
