I *love* them with fried calamari too. Wish more places make cornmeal
crusted okra too. That would change many minds - it's so delicious!

Presumably you meant cooking method, in what way would it affect
leftovers? Too soggy?

In what way?

Another (authentic) dish I want to try is Paella. I've had some nice
'paellas' but not any faithful to the recipe as such.

I have an authentic paella recipe, as given to me by my Spanish
cousin-in-law. They also brought me a special gas ring (can be
hooked to bbq gas tank) and 27" pan to go with it. We use it for
family meetups because we can tell each one what ingredient they will
bring, ready prepared then either myself of baby grandson sees to the
cooking. Makes a lovely meal and many are fed with little stress to
any one person

I am not sure. I have never made risotto but I know it is a labour
intensive process of stirring, adding a little hot liquid at a time,
more stirring until it has that perfect texture. I imagine that you can
add more liquid and heat (and stir) again. It just seems like a heck of
a lot of work for one or two servings. Maybe I will try it some time
for a larger crowd.

I had issues with tomato for a long time and the Italian restaurants
around here tend to have a limited number of dishes that all contain
various shapes of pasta with variations of tomato sauce, and prices that
are way too high for the ingredients and work involved. That risotto had
all kinds of interesting and zesty flavours. It was delicious.

Too un-creamy. However, the leftovers do make excellent risotto cakes!

Nonsense, there's a huge difference between eating a salad or shrimp
shells.

Not all that hard. Takes 18 to 20 minutes but you are active a good bit
of that time. Cup of rice, cup of white wine, two cups of broth,
heated. Stirring is important to get the texture though.

Lot of red sauce southern Italian places around here too. Italy has
many differences from north to south.

How would you know if you've never done it? I eat shrimp shells and
they digest just like a vegetable.

I have eaten shrimp shells. Like corn, it's apparent when I've eaten
them. Most raw vegetables are fully processed by my omnivore
digestive system.

I ate plenty of shrimp shells as prepared in Chinese restaurants but
as I got older I found them more difficult to digest. But I've no
problem digesting corn and other raw vegetables and I eat a lot of raw
vegetables, even raw corn... in fact I eat most vegetables raw, I
prefer vegetables raw, typically as crudites or as a slaw.

In that case, they should just sell cans of salmon bones.
At least YOU would be happy. Stir fry with hot peppers

Soft shell crabs have no noticable bones. Frying is the the only way
to enjoy that very tasty treat. Serve on a hot bun with or without
sauce and legs hanging out. YUM. Looks like a spider sandwich.

I cook steamed/boiled shrimp with shell on but you don't eat that.
I'll grant you and a few others... maybe deep frying them might work.
I was planning to deep fry a couple yesterday and I opened my shrimp
package. Arrghh! No shells. They only had tails on. I just didn't
notice that when I bought them. Oh well. I'll eat them but I prefer
to buy with shells on and remove them later.

They actually do make a few good one. I'll buy them occasionally when
they go on sale and save them for lasy nights.

1) I didn't want to respond to several with the same post so
I pick the most relavant one.
2) No one ever wins arguing with sw. Why even try?

Don't feel left out - your post or two was just redundant.

I fully realize that some people here have TIAD.

Note: according to many here, I also have that syndrome.
Difference is that I freely admit it.
Like Cheri says often now...each to their own tastes.

The only TIAD in the room is someone who can't tell the difference.

Yes, I come across that a lot too. Pasta dishes can be really

It's how many restos make their $$$$. Chinese restos usta make chow
mein w/ mostly mung bean sprouts. Now, try and find a chow mein w/o
pan fried noodles making up almost the entire dish.

I won't even patronize The Olive Garpen or Dead Lobster. Pasta n'
shrimp seem to be the most over-abused combo. 8|

The other thing is that if it is just pasta and tomato sauce, I can make
it at home. Lasagne is a little more work and expense, but for what
they charge for one or two servings I can make a whole pan of the stuff
and get 8-10 servings. I just have to remember to wrap up and freeze
the leftovers. It is rare for me to go to a restaurant to eat something
I can easily make at home.

Fried okra sounds good because it's fried. I'd probably have to go to the mainland to find something like that though.

They can start with mussel shells, work up to clam and scallop shells,
and then eat oyster shells. sf is so nasty from eating snapping
turtle shells, and eating walnut shells explains her nuttiness.

Fried okra is good because it's coated in cornmeal and then fried...
so crunchy and delicious! Unfortunately, it's not as widespread as
deep fried jalapeños. In fact, I can't name one time I've seen it on
a restaurant menu. Why? That's a mystery.

One of the menu selections at a favorite restaurant is called Eggplant
Parmigiana. It is described as: layers of thinly sliced, lightly
fried eggplant, marinara sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan
cheese... which looks, sounds and tastes like lasagne to me (pasta is
not missed), and it's "OMG" delicious.

Yes, I'm very happy with my own version of spag bol and would never
order it, same with lasagna, unless it's some interesting unusual
combination that piques my interest.

Yes, same here. I want something I can't/won't make at home.

It certainly is, I love eggplant parmigiana and I'd order it in a
restaurant given the opportunity.

And you'd pay six times what it's worth... Eggplant Parm is easy to
prepare at home by the roasting panful and left overs freeze well. The
easiest way to prepare the eggplant is to slice into rounds about 3/8"
thk, brush lightly with olive oil, dust with seasoning, and slap on
the outdoor grill, no spatter in your kitchen from frying and absorbs
minimal oil. Usually I can't wait for the panful of parm, the grilled
eggplant is great on a mozz cheese burger. Slabs of overgrown zukes
grill nicely too.
