SleepyWhiteSox Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I got tired of those damn filet-o-fishes... What do you guys eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Long Jhon Silvers Fish 'n more. I love that batter they use to deep fry that fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Had pizza tonight (rare, I don't like it). Faux hamburgers and hotdogs, meatless chili, curried rice/tofu, the possibilities are endless--if you want to go to the effort to cook....

FlaSoxxJim Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Capybara. No joke, in lots of Central and South America, capybara is a huge Lenten Friday dietary staple. Because it is aquatic, locals conveniently think of it as a fish (albeit a hairy, 4-legged, distinctly rodent-like fish), and figure that's good enough for a few fridays every year. Amazing God hasn't caught on to all these religious loopholes people keep coming up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Jumbo shrimp is a good way to go, but I'm not sure what types of fish you like (it seems every person is different -- my brother loves salmon and tuna, I'm more of a shrimp guy). Pasta and Pizza are always good too. Fedduccini Alfredo when made right is really, really good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Today i had some pasta for lunch and cheese pizza for dinner. I've also went the chili route, or soup/salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 tacos, burritos, enchiladas, all made with beans. Various stir fry meals. Pastas with Alfredo, marinara, etc. Shrimp. Chili, Yada yada yada, I told you about the bisque? Remember you really can tuna fish. To make it easy, visit the box meals and pick up a Lipton rice side dish, then visit the tuna fish aisle. Mix them together. This is a huge favorite while backpacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A beaver like thing that chews saplings, has a nice pelt, and Mmmmm good to eat?

FlaSoxxJim Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) Nutria and capybara are different species. Nutria (Myocastor coypus) is more rat-like and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are more cute and cuddly and guinneapig-like. Note the long, rat tail on the nutria, and the near-lack of tail (vestigial) on Homer's Lenten snack. Nutrias actually use the tail for part of their swimming propulsion, much like mustellids (weasel family) Nutria Capybara Edited March 19, 2005 by FlaSoxxJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually not had rat, as far as I know. I just know that all of the things I've had that are supposed to taste like chicken (gator, rattlesnaje, froglegs, etc.) don't.

A little greasy, but if you give it enough time, not directly on the heat, the grease seems to cook out. I thought that LA strategy to controll nutria by teaching people to eat them was awesome, too bad it isn't working. The cost is hurting for one thing, 5 minutes to process them is about 5X longer than commercially viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Fish, fish, & more fish. It helps that I love seafood. Shrimp is the best food God ever gave us. I love it to death. But I enjoy crab, squid, perch, catfish, sushi, cod, salmon, & tuna. There are so many different varieties to choose from today that I don't really consider it a sacrifice. Instead I try to cut down on ice cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Cheese pizza, fish & chips, salmon, tuna casserole, pierogis with cheese/potato filling, shrimp fried rice, stuff like that.
