It's 2020, we're all delusional
She’s yet to learn one of the first tenets of Evil Overlordship: run your dialogue past your internal critic a few times before blurting it out…
Apparently a bit late in commenting here, you were saying like breadless popcorn shrimp. My comparison is like mussels, the shellfish.
unfortunately, i suspect, for quite a bit of us that reference is ALSO a non-usable comparison as i know that “I” have never had mussels either…
It’s been years since I had either mussels or snails, but from my memory mussels taste pretty good by themselves and become better this the right garnish, whereas I remember snails being like eating rubber flavoured with whatever they’re cooked in (usually garlic butter).
In my experience snails are like scallops. If prepared properly they are delicious and yes, much of the flavor can depend on what they are cooked in. Unfortunately, also like scallops, it is very easy to overcook them and once that happens you are left with a rubbery, chewy, lump.
Like scallops and calamari and octopus. There are meats that get more tender the more they are cooked and meats that get tougher once they are “done”. I don’t get it. They say “Food Science” but it’s more like Black Arcana, or Dark Magic, or Area 51, than Science to me.
ESPECIALLY YOU, NAPPA!
(‘eyyyyy!)
This is surprisingly good advice coming from Selkie. Showing enthusiasm for another’s cultural dishes is not only polite, but a surefire way to endear yourself to them.
