Barramundi is... a big, predatory fish. Thing. Ish. I've never had it, but I saw it in Sydney.

Oh, I'd eat that. I like big steak fish. Like shark or maki maki.

Did I ever tell you the story about how one time a friend was cooking them on a dare and they 'sploded. *snerk*

sorlklewis explained 'em to me. YICK. But then, I'll try anything once. *g*

Of course, this makes the exploding anecdote that much ickier. EW.

I had barramundi just last weekend! Tasty.

Meat pies can be good (I have no idea how they differ between here and elsewhere), but most of them are pretty foul. They used to have them at school, and the mince would be this really bright brown, and it would drip out everywhere, and... gross. Never could bring myself to eat one, although I'll quite happily munch away on the offally goodness of a sausage roll. However, pies with chunkier meat (and not from the el cheapo companies) are good. Don't generally have egg in them, though.

I never even knew that most places in the US didn't sell pasties until I read American Gods.

I've had AMERICAN meat pies, or, rather things called "meat pie" or "pot pie" over here, contaning various and sundry meats and maybe an egg. In a pie crust.

And tell me of these pasties of which you speak.

We have pasties in Michigan, they're like the lunchtime lovechild of a pot pie and a sandwich. There's a dough pocket with chunks of steak, potato, carrot, onion and (if you get the more traditional kind) rutabega. They're baked, and then you can eat them cold, warm them over, smother them in gravy. The meat is very tender, and even the dough takes on a meaty flavour.

Now I know what we're eating this week, heh.

Like a knish! Like a knish? Knishes usually come in kasha or potato, but you can get anything in a knish these days.

Oh, this is an INTERESTING meme! I think I'll steal.

boofadil November 12 2005, 07:45:56 UTC

you don't like ice cream? i'm not entirely sure what to do with that thought.

iamsab November 12 2005, 10:44:04 UTC

The kid pointed out that I ate a bowl of mint chocolate chip just last night, so I guess I don't HATE ice cream. But I don't seek it out, I never buy it, and I avoid things with ice cream in them, like shakes. You know, when you get pie and ice cream, I'm always, "Hold the ice cream!"
