Quoted: And skirt steak and any number of other things. One of my favorites in this regard is bread. Coarse,dark breads are now seen as for more refined palates but was the very definition of poor peasant fare. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: And skirt steak and any number of other things. One of my favorites in this regard is bread. Coarse,dark breads are now seen as for more refined palates but was the very definition of poor peasant fare. @outofbattery - here's a historical note that may interest you: Königswalde, Neumark 1760 The third revolt, which resulted from the pride in their trade of the guilds, occurred in 1760 when the two corps under Prince Henry and Generallieutenantvon der Goltz combined in the Neumark. The Feldkriegscommissariat ordered that the bakeries of both corps be combined at Königswalde. The Silesian bakers of the von der Goltz corps, who were white bread bakers, refused to work with the Prussian bakers of Prince Henry`s corps, on the grounds that they were only black bread bakers, and were therefore beneath them. The Silesian bakers considered the order from the Feldkriegscommissariat so insulting to their pride as bakers, and the bitterness between the two groups was such, that the only solution was to keep the two groups separate, and there were duly two bakeries outside the town, on opposite sides of it. I like all breads black, white and brown. |

Quoted: Back in the 1700's, Lobster WAS the "poor man's food" Kids would be embarrassed to bring a lobster sandwich to school. How it became rich man's food is interesting. Same with chicken wings, they couldnt GIVE it away at the butcher, Now since the invention of buffalo wings, the prices soared. View Quote Way back when they fed it to prisoners, and got complaints because the prisoners were having to eat it several times a week. Funny. |

Quoted: Monkfish is “poor man’s lobster” Anything else is made up bullshit View Quote Correct. And I agree with the others that lobster is overrated. I worked at a seafood market as a teenager, could have had it every day if I wanted to. For the cost, pass. When it was poor people food? Yeah, maybe sometimes. |

Quoted: You have never had a well cooked lobster. Too many people fuck it up, and expect people to love it b/c it's "Lobster" View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Regular lobster sucks. Why would I want to eat anything that mimicked it? Any food that MUST be drowned in a flavoring agent is really not worth eating. |

We used to eat stingray, it was pretty good. Most people just cut the line since they are strong and can break rods if you don't have a stout enough rod.

Love the taste, but shellfish rarely sits well with me.
I'll stick to king salmon... |

Quoted: Our seafood dinners have subsided quite a bit since my son gets migraines when he eats shellfish. So I came across this video. Anyone try it? Is it close? Think I will try it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvu-WlIE5C8 View Quote I can't comment too much, other than I've tried enough of his recipes and cooking tricks to give a very large benefit of doubt. I'll be trying this one too. |

I remember buying cow tongue and cheek meat for cheap. Hell, beef fajitas used to be cheap as hell, too. Even menudo (beef tripe) is expensive and don't get a heart=attack when you see the price of honeycomb tripe! |

I ate some imitation crab meat once, but it must have been spoiled or something. It made me dizzy and put me in a daze. When I came out of it, I discovered that I had stomped my model railroad layout to bits. |

I actually tried that recipe out of curiosity. It actually was surprisingly tasty.

Quoted: If people learned how to cook it properly we would see much less of this type of thing. Boiling lobster sucks and is for weenies. It gets over cooked and has all of the flavor boiled out of it. Split the tails and butter the flesh side, then put them on a medium heat grill flesh side down. Pull them just before the entire shell turns red, they will keep cooking. Then enjoy the best lobster you ever had. View Quote |

Do you know flash frozen lobster is actually pretty darn good. I was surprised.

Dad was stationed in New Brunswick, Canada and I couldn't get into lobster and crab the whole time we were there.

OP, some of the responses in this thread are outright retarded...........
Living in Florida, and having the opportunity to catch some spiny lobster in the morning and cook them for dinner may make me a little biased. Having said that, I tried the cod/boil/lemon thing AKA, "poor man's lobster". Doesn't come close. As a matter of fact, I wished that I would have just baked the cod in butter sauce, put a nice crust on the top. It would have been way better. If you really want a great seafood dish, find yourself some fresh hogfish. Better than lobster. The rest of you should get out of, well, I just don't know what to say....... |

Some people don't appreciate good food. Seafood rocks. I'll take my boiled lobster with some butter plz.
Claws are nice and sweet. |

I've tried making poor man's lobster a couple times and I'm too "poor" to have ever had real lobster. I don't know if I botched cooking it or not, but if that's what lobster tastes like, I'm good. I'll stick to stuff like shrimp and crawfish.
Quoted: Crawfish is more expensive View Quote You need better friends. And it's illegal to eat crawfish without drinking beer, so if you show up with a case or 2 of Bud Lite, or whatever the popular beer in your AO is to fill the community ice chest, you jump straight to the front of the all you can eat line. |
