^ Speaking of chicken thighs, probably the most basic yakitori skewer of them all...and one of the best...negima ~ chicken thigh with green onions :drooling:

Sounds tasty...

And good for a future angioplasty. :beaten:

Slightly tastier than a lizard, huh?

:beaten:

I doubt anyone would be surprised but i've had lizard before.. not bad tasting, not good tasting. (desert survival class) not much meat and the mesquite we used to cook them covered up any bad taste i think.

A little smoke and then a toke :hehe: I'm sure the M&M's you had for dessert helped a bit too :P j/k.

no M&Ms, we were searched for food before we left. :beaten:

we did find some small cacti to eat.. that was a rather interesting night.

aho has been craving chicken lately. korean bbq, thai style, and of course, japanese yakiniku/bbq, however to no avail....
liquid diet (again). protein shakes, a lot of water and protein bars.

No fruits and veggies??

Doesn't sound particularly balanced. :sweat:

I just saw this crazy kushiyaki (breaded and fried foods) skewer on an episode of Dotch...potato salad wrapped in bacon, skewered, battered and then fried...that must be mecha mecha oishii albeit decadent. :drooling:

Not really a mackerel fan, but at those temps, the fishiness is probably blown away... :victory:

Really great mackerel isn't fishy at all. I had this prepared for me by a sushi chef in Moorpark - a friend and I had ordered a whole Spanish mackerel worth of sashimi and they prepared the carcass for us. Best mackerel I've ever had.. it was fantastic. It's one of those fishes that when you get to the 90% mark, it's unbeatable, but at >90% it can be a little fishy. The whole fried carcass thing was.. eh. Not nearly as sublime as the fish, but as Tu said, a good snack. Seems like it's a bit out of place in a special sashimi meal to me.

Mmm.. my uncle is coming this week and he's promised to take me out to Sushi at least once! I so can't wait. I found this great place in Southcenter south of Seattle's city center that I took myself to after I passed the bar. Yum. Some day when I am making some more money, I'd like to not only try to go out to Sushi at least every other week, but to make it myself!

I don't disagree with what you're saying and it sounds like you had a grand feast (!) but Spanish Mackerel known as Aji, is very different in taste from Saba, which I believe is the Mackerel that Beem is referring too. Saba is the species that tends to be more fishy. Spanish Mackerel is much more popular and is great! Spanish Mackerel tends to be more well liked by ppl. :)

But even Saba if it's really fresh is not fishy in taste...Aji tastes much better tho!

Again with the bacon... :drooling:

With the combo you mentioned above, I'd eat the skewer, too. :beaten:

Well it's like a traditional potato salad with bacon except it's fried!

Buy me one, too! :beaten:

I've always made potato salad with bacon, but I've never battered and fried it.

*starts making out grocery list*

:rofl:

Thankfully those kushikatsu skewers are only bite-sized so it's not totally over the top because you're just getting one bite full...but then again you could order more than one :beaten:

That particular episode of Dotch had a panel filled with entertainers who like to drink...those are the best! When questioned one of the entertainers said he's sat down to eat kushikatsu and had 30 skewers during one meal. :shocked: He must have been throwing back that nihonshu (sake).
