Bugger :-(

I remember those days.

One of the last photos I posted here was of a prawn lunch the SO and I
were about to share. It was 1kg (2.2lb) of King Tiger prawns.

I had to *force* myself to eat the last couple, as we were both as full
as!!

One reason I don't go to these 'all you can eat' buffet things.

One plate and I'm done :-(

<lol> For the most part, I avoid buffets for the same reason.
Shrimp seems to be the one exception to the rule. :-)

I just have a passion for the stuff.

It's a 'seafood diet' thing. You see the food, and want to eat it :-)


But yes, I love to eat just about any sort of seafood.

Haven't tried Bêche-de-mer (Sea Cucumber) and don't really think I want to.
But most other things are fair game :-)

No, I'm not quite that bad. ;-)

Most of the sugar laden sweet crap (donuts and cookies) and pizzas left
in the break room at work get thrown in the trash... by ME when I clean
the break room at night.

I'm not even tempted.

Sea bugs are just delicious.

ITA. The DH and I don't do buffets, b/c neither one of us can eat
enough to justify the comparatively high cost vs. an individually
plated meal. Also, IMHO, buffets don't appeal from a food quality
standpoint, as the food sits around in steamer trays. Give me
something straight out of the kitchen, even if it's been sitting back
*there* for a while.

And the DH has a third reason for avoiding buffets: he swore he'd
never stand on line for food again once he got out of the US Marines.

We have some *fantastic* fresh seafood buffets over here...... but
priced at about $45 a head, I'm not going to pay $90 for 2 plates of
prawns!!

Well, there goes KFC and Slack Macs, and the rest of the fast food
places :-)

But I do understand where he's coming from. Never used to bother me that
much. I didn't mind lining up for a meal....... any meal I didn't/don't
have to cook is a damn good one!!

I understand all that. When I go out to eat, I want to sit down and
stay there until it's time to leave. Having said that I do go once a
year, to this excellent buffet in a nearby fancy schmancy hotel with
views of the river. It's very nice and the food is top notch. But.
I think it's $40 a person. That's a lot of bacon. Heh.

Fair enough.
