Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the Polish/drink combo at Costco also $1.50? (I should know because I get it all the time. If I don't remember what I pay, is there something wrong with me?)

Yep, caviar is nothing but the eggs of a different aquatic animal, in this case a beluga whale.

Hmm, the probably have to kill the poor thing to get its eggs, neh? Another reason not to eat the stuff. Save the whales!!! :woot:

Sigh.

And I suppose NOTHING suffers in the creation of a BMW.

OK, that's IT, that's all I'm going to volley, I will not-I will not-I will not get into a verbal brouhaha . . . again. Besides, this here's a fine thread that does not deserve to be locked.

If it pleases you, 'racer, or anyone else who has an opinion on baluga (man, I dunno, that buggah is just delicious, OK? And if I could get it in the market, must be OK, OK?), in the words of the great O'Reilly, "I'll give you the last word."

Costco polish dog/drink combos are cheap and delicious. Also their combination pizza are the best.

Shoyu/tanaka ramen with Onigiri-salmon or Onigiri-bonito flakes, now that sounds like a good japanese meal.

Directly, I think not. Indirectly, absolutely. But that's pretty much true for any manufactured item.

(man, I dunno, that buggah is just delicious, OK? And if I could get it in the market, must be OK, OK)

Gee, if you like it and you can buy it in the market, I guess it has to be okay... :rolleyes:

Continuing my 12 days of holiday eating descriptions -- cripes, if ya'll's enjoyed the caviar descriptions (and, let's face it, just ONE single wrong egg might hatch inside me, and well, it's Alien and/or Stephen King territory for The Man pretty much, eh? Bwhahah), you'll REALLY like that I ate some juicy . . .

Lamb.

Lamb ribs. And shoulders. With PLENTY onions. Bacon w/it too.

"Clariiiiiiice . . . "

Hahah. EXACTLY what my ma' exclaimed.

Caviar, I suppose, is one of those "acquired taste" foods. But, when I first tried it way back when, I was hooked. Probably helped that, as an island boy, I had -- like many other Hawai'i-ites -- been exposed to much sushi and fish dishes, broiled, raw, fried, grilled, et al.

Damn yummy. :dancing:

There are island boys and island boys.

Here's the Man who can actually look forward to eating fish eggs, and sushi.

Where as, most of my folks come from Ireland. An Island. An island where, when the 'tater crop failed, 2 million of the total population of 8 million starved to death. And another 2 million were forced to emigrate.

Completely surrounded by the sea, 2 million people chose to starve.

Boy that'll give you an idea of how fond the Irish are of seafood.

By the way... I'm with

Me too. Love that Cheeseburger in Paradise place they have so many of in Hawaii.

dochira: yup, costco hotdogs are $1.50 also, and includes a bottomless drink as well. that's why i was wondering if 'Man' tried it before.

bmw: thanks for that explanation of caviar. maybe i'll get to try it one day.....

geez: that was one hella funny explanation of ireland. do they really hate seafood that much? i could probably eat seafood every day, except i would probably get gout. :doh:

it's ok over there, but there is this one place called 'teddy's burgers'. delicious!! (one in kaimuki and one in kailua). i've always wanted to try this place called 'in-n-out burgers' on the mainland. i heard their burgers are terrific.

Hmm....when I was in Japan over the holidays, I had some kangaroo when my brother and I went to his friend's bar...Quite good!
But when we got home and I told my mom, she whacked me for daring to eat such a cute animal.... :beatyou:
She didn't quite buy my "But they're like the deer of Australia" explaination...
^_^;;;;

Kangaroo????!!! :bleh:

Closet thing I've had to that was those Kangaroo shaped "Dunk-A-Roos" back in Elementary School. :beaten:

vegemite????

Yeah, vegemite. You can probably get a more competent definition of the item from something like "Wikipedia," but, The Man'll go so far as to say that, as far he knows, the Australian-based "vegemite" foodstuff is a breadspread (not "bedspread") that's akin to the same practice of how folks from other nations (as far as I'm concerned, I know the U.S. does this day in and day out) spread peanut butter on bread in order to make a sandwich.

Vegemite . . . let's see . . . I dunno how it tastes, so, bear with me (but, if it runs like caviar, hey, then send me a caseload of vegemite, you's from Australia! Hahhaha, just kiddding) . . . vegemite kinda' sorta' looks like petroleum jelly? No?

In ANY case, vegemite is actually referred to in one of Australian-based '80s pop group Men At Work's (lemme hea' all ya'll '80s fans! OOOOHHH, and, HEY, I just made a "what are you listening to" factoid in a separate thread. Well . . . not really . . . 'cause . . . I haven't heard a Men At Work tune in . . . months? A year, maybe? Alas, I digress) popular tunes, Land Down Under:

" . . . she just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich . . ."

Yes . . . I'm NOT kidding.

Dookie chaser?

Since "dookie" is usually used by little kids in the U.S. as a gentle synonym for "crap", I was just wondering... is that how you're using it in your log on name?

Uh huh. :shakehead:

according to my friends, vegemite tastes like cr*p, and i hope i'm not offending anyone on this forum, but they took one bite and couldn't even swallow it. that's how bad it was.

:rofl: that is EXACTLY what prompted them to try it!!! since they heard that tune, and they were in australia at the time, they wanted to try it! :bonk:
