Sushi!

[Scat]

Baltar is the smug, condescending, sniveling ******* from BSG. You remind me of him.

Did I mention he's also very short? I bet he could wear 511's as well.

BSG?

Sorry I rub you the wrong way yo.

Bean, dude, sushi should never, ever be all you can eat.

This. As an fortunate survivor, I can testify it is the truth.

When I was in Japan, we were at this rich ladies house and she ordered in some way pricey sushi for the 4 of us missionaries. I ate everything I could, but after the first piece of uni, I just couldn't bring myself to down the second. When she wasn't looking I threw it on my buddies plate and he finished it off for me. Ever since then, I just can't do the uni.
LogGrad, have you ever had it fresh? As in you are still standing in the ocean where you picked it up when you eat it?

Funny. I heard a very similar story about a mormon missionary in eastern europe - the homeowner served the best salted pork fat he had.

BSG?

Battle Star Galactica. Pretty good sci-fi series with several very good actors in it.

Am I as annoying as that one dude?

Yeah, I'll bet there are thousands of those stories from missionaries who serve in countries who cuisine is different from our own.

Perhaps this question could be its own thread, but what is the nastiest thing you have ever eaten? Personally, I downed some cows tongue (without knowing it of course). I was going to town on it thinking it was some sort of Chinese roast beef with gravy until my Chinese friend told me what it was. I had that taste in my mouth for at least 3 days.

No, Baltar isn't really very annoying.

You get this a lot when you get different cultures colliding. For me it was some weird jellied meat and egg dish, almost like salted gelatin over meat and eggs served cold. Yeah didn't go down very well.

Thanks man.

This subject is all relative. I am not Asian and even though not natively from the US my food taste is pretty much western but to me cow's tongue (when properly cleaned and prepared) is a great delicacy. A friend cooked some last week and it was heaven. Tripe soup with extra garlic at lunch after heavy night of drinking is just a lifesaver. Young lamb's small intestines baked with red pepper are delicious. I do eat salted pork fat with garlic and strong "rakija" on the side once in a while. I think my boundaries were pushed when, back in my native country, my wife ordered and got served baked lamb's head. It comes with pretty much everything but the skin. Those large lifeless eyes looking back at me from the plate pretty much killed my appetite.

Annoying isn't the word I'd use to describe Baltar. If I could only use one word it be "snake". But that would leave out smug, self serving and condescending. Oh, and short.
