I've come to the conclusion that Knit Tie is actually a minor Tsar of some kind, and just isn't telling us.

[Knit tie]

Knit Tie, you're such a decadent...

Also, no hope you might be in St Petersburg in early february? I might be there on holidays. I'll try to smuggle some beers past the food ban.

Unfortunately, no.

Catfish?

I have to ask; does it taste muddy? I've always assumed that catfish, being a bottom dweller, would have that horrible mud taste like carp does.

It's actually a nice flakey fish, I wouldn't call the taste muddy, but it's definitely more mellow I'd say than some other popular fishes.
Blackened Catfish is an amazing dish, and I miss the blackened Catfish po'boy from the Cajun restaurant in my old Uni town.

Nope I would have to agree with the guy above me, catfish tastes pretty good.

On the subject of fried fish, anybody ever had fried Waleye?

knit tie, you bourgeois pig.

Cavier! I can't believe people actually eat that. I thought it was pretend food rich people made up to trick the poor.

*next photo will be of Knit Tie downing a bottle of Crystal*

It used to be poor people food, same with lobster. The rich are quite strange.

[timferius]

They wanna be like the common people?

There used to be a law in Cologne that housemaids and butlers and such could not be fed a certain type of fish - carp or salmon, I believe - more than three times a week. Today that fish is a delicacy.

Seeing as the Murican politics thread has been hijacked to its original purpose, maybe this fits here... it is food.

California Ban on Foie Gras (import and sale) struck down, effective now(or maybe yesterday).

this makes me very very sad, but you know this will just go into an animal rights debate, since geese are not pre-slaughter, actually food.

They have to be force fed to get to the foie gras level they want the liver at. it's massively fucked.

[GiglameshDespair]

I eat animals. I hold no guilt over eating animals. I would not hesitate to kill the animals I eat if I made to do so.

But I am not for being cruel to them, and that is cruelty. It is banned here in Britain, and with good reason.

[Sheb]

Over here in Belgium, an animal-right group has a quite successful campaign to sell what they call "Faux Gras" ("Fake fat"), a plant-based fake foix gras. It's actually not that bad, although I guess a connaisseur would totally enjoy his foix gras more.

It doesn't even taste that good![/literally the least important objection]

Naah, probably the most important one: The best shot at effectively eliminating the stuff is exposing it as snob food - food that is only eaten to show status.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

So no one has had Waleye fish before?
