It was the carrots, wasn't it?

Or lack there of.

[Drunk Monk]

So wait…

Now you’re saying your pocket lacked carrots? Was that a carrot in your pocket or not?

[Greg]

Much like being boneless, I was indeed carrot less.

[Drunk Monk]

So what was in your pocket then?

I can tell my own jokes here. I don't need you. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress.

You are buying into that being a meat eater thing full time.

[Drunk Monk]

I'm China bound. You have no idea. Remember I was a stunt meat eater. I've eaten more exotic types of meats than you've probably eaten types of meats.

[Greg]

But I'm not a sprinter. I'm a marathoner.

You always win the "is it food?" Contest. Fried scorpions as a bar snack. You win forever.

[Drunk Monk]

You would love fried scorpions.

That being said, my previous dietary restrictions allowed for scorpions.

DM has suffered for his exotic meats. He got a cut from a can of eel at Reggae on the River. Or was it Electric on the Eel? The latter is more fitting.

[Drunk Monk]

Eel is not that exotic. You can get tinned eel for like $3 at Asian markets. I often get a basket full. 

And those eel tins are tricky. 

I was being to macho with that damn multitool (was it a leatherman? prolly...) but eel on the eel was a treat, right? So worth it.

My go to fish are sardines, at a similar price point. Supposedly they are the most sustainable wild fish. I like them packed in olive oil. I think the Italian ones are best, but expensive, so I rarely eat them. I've never tried the Portuguese ones. The ones from Trader Joe's are good, good enough for me anyway. Whenever it has come up in conversation (which is rare), everyone but me says they won't eat them.

I've never checked out the tinned fish at the Asian market. Lately we've been going to the Mega Mart in Sunnyvale since it's not as crowded as H Mart.

[Drunk Monk]

Mega mart is that Korean place, right?

I go through sardine phases too. I prefer olive oil but will go for the water packed occasionally. Between that and eel, and occasional smoked oysters, those are my go to tinned seafood.

Sardines in olive oil or in spicy olive oil from Portugal are *lovely*

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

H mixes them in with Boursin cheese to make a tasty fishy cheese dip.
