This is pretty relevant: http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science...ia.catfish.ap/
If you think reeling an 8-pounder in is a fight, try fishing on the Mekong. ![]() Do y'all get to fish any? |

I hate can "garden" peas but love the ones that come from a real garden. I ate some in a real french farm once; when you compare real vegetables to the tin ones, it's day and night. Generally, I'd say that deep-frozen foods (as far as vegetables are concerned) are sh*t as well. I also hate endives, Brussels sprout, boilled cauliflower, curly lettuce, dandelion, garlic, shallot. Otherwise, I'd say that I'm not a gourmet and can eat quite a lot of varied things.

Yes, a lot of frozen foods are crap, especially veggies. I once bought frozen French fries and they were terrilble. Nothing beats peeling and cooking/frying your own potatoes. Frozen pizza for example can be good though, especially that from Dr. Oetker.

If it doesn't contain 2 kgs of potatoes then I consider it inedible.
Actually, my late aunt regarded pizza as "foreign muck" ![]()
