Looking into it myself. From what I understand the little receiver that you can move from place to place (home, car, office) is about $200 and you may need some adapters for it. The service itself is about $10-12 a month. I'm seriously thinking about getting it, and my only question was whether you can pick it up in these concrete and steel edifices we call office buildings...

If you can, I'm buying the service for sure.

I dunno if it was gumbo which is why I put a question mark. It was southern porky soupy food. And the issue wasnt whether there was anything for me to eat- there was side stuff, no other entree. the problem was that I felt bad after he made his ill informed effort but I wasnt gonna put pig meat into my body.

and PEPCO is fucked. 45 minute hold times and then rude bitches answer the phone and put you back on hold never to return. fucking utility monopolies. Its enough to make me go all Bilmore and shun civilization and electricity.

I noticed the butcher counter at the supermarket sells imitation crab meat. What the hell is it if its not crab? Is imitation crab meat a term of art? An ingrediant unto itself like "artificial color"? Why get fake meat from a butcher?

See, this is exactly what I would hope to avoid - people issue food demands, and therefore are cut off from hospitality by fed up hosts.

Hosts are already an endangered species after years of abuse and neglect; they should really be better protected and shouldn't have their available range further limited.

It's fish, not crab.

I'd be very careful at any but the most Americanized Mexican restaurants then, since lard is the primary ingredient in most Mexican dishes, including some vegeterian sounding dishes like bean burritos, where the beans and the tortilla are held together with lard.

Why not call it fish? Is "crabfish" taken?

Putting refried beans aside, in Dallas pinto beans are often prepared using diced up ham or otherwise incorporating pork, while black beans are often the only vegetarian option. RT, do people prepare black beans with lard, etc. down there?

But lard is good for you because it has no transfat!

Seriously, Baja Fresh uses no lard, so their veggie meals should be veggie safe, if not heart healthier (probably use hydrogenated vegetable oils in place of the lard).

P.S. Lard might actually have some transfat. It was a joke.

Imitation crab, or surimi, is a blend of crab meat and pollack or some other firm, relatively mild whitefish, like halibut or haddock. I'll tolerate it in "crab salad" at a buffet or something like that. However, when I'm cooking myself, I always use the real stuff. Yeah, it's a lot more expensive, but not outrageous, and a little goes a long way.

Yes: Surimi. Not at surimi.info, but here

It's minced fish, processed, and pressed into cakes, with some artificial color. Then used in California rolls all over the US. Unless you spring for the "real" crab meat version (which you should)

It is technically referred to as Krab. Way catchier than crabfish. Learn it, love it.


RP'ed to change re: line. I heart tofu (when prepared correctly).

I liked this one. Thanks, bro!

I love charro beans (the ham or pork soupy beans). My momma also makes the best charro beans ever.

I'm not sure about black beans here, since the lard thing doesn't bother me that much so I never bother to ask. I'm going to guess that it probably depends on the restaruant and whether or not they care about vegetarians and how they prepare their beans.
