MMmmmmm... sounds delicious.

it was...the quality of the pork alone....is outstanding.....very tender and moist.....of course the preparation is important too :) the restaurant is kind of like a japanese-french fusion bistro.

But then I look at the pics of crabs with long legs... and lots of them... and I get turned off. I don't think I would mind if I got it served in pieces, instead of the whole thing that still looks like the live version.

Wait, does that make sense?

I'm exactly the same. :ashamed:

Not a big fan of fish heads either. I don't really like my lunch looking back at me. :bleh:

how 'bout shrimp....at a proper sushi restaurant, when you order amaebi, will always ask you how you want the heades prepared...fried as in the photo below or served in a bowl of miso soup.

crunchy little head...gets chomped on when it's dead.

Never had or was asked about shrimp heads. I don't know if I'd eat one. The eyes are scaring me a little. Although fried it kind of look cool. :mrgreen:

my friends and i usually break the eyes off and then get the straws from our water glasses and use the eyes as spitballs to hit drunk ppl at other tables...it's quite fun.

:rofl:

Sounds fun. Too bad they only have 2 eyes. :sweat:

your aim must be true...the best shot at the end of the night is awarded "sniper" status...and receives a free green tea tempura fried ice cream as a reward.

Yummy.

How about a nice Elvis snack? Got this in the news.
Elvis' favorite sandwich was fried peanut butter and banana - sometimes with honey or slices of bacon added.

So in July, to mark the 30th anniversary of the rock legend's death, Hershey will introduce a limited edition of its chocolate cup featuring a layer of peanut butter and a layer of banana crème.

Healthy. :mrgreen:

i had read that once a long time ago...drugs peanuts and bacon will end any human life prematurely.

They can't serve that in NYC, due to the trans fat ban. :sweat:

I better begin stocking up Oreo cookies and Cheez Whiz in my bunker. ;)

Since, they announced the ban over here, most products are now trans fat free like chips and cookies. It doesn't make them healthier tho. :sweat:

survival snacks!

well it's healthier in the sense that transfats are damaging in a particular way that some other fats aren't....the human body isn't designed to break down those fats well because they don't exist in nature so there isn't a mechanism that has evolved to deal with them...just like the countless petrochemicals that we are surrounded by....

but yeah if they replace the transfat with some other saturated fat it might not necessarily be healthier...

Yup.

I think the cook sucked. We waited for almost 2 hours. I had a tempura wasabi burger.

Tempura again for dessert might not have been a good idea anyway. :beaten:
