my parents used to dip the leaves in butter and then scrape something off with their teeth -- when i was a kid this seemed like the most revolting thing on earth, but now it sounds kinda appealing in a "food that takes a long time to eat with your hands" way

pomegranates taste delicious, but you can only peck at them a few seeds at a time and they take forever to consume. you mean stuff like that?

I would say crawfish along with the other crustaceans, but once you have the knack it's kind of a crack-and-slurp enterprise where you're eating buckets of them

Those giant salad plates at Corner Bakery.

eating artichokes like that is great, i loved it when i was a kid

What an appetizing idea, I am going to whip up an artichoke recipe in my kitchen when I get home!!

We had artichoke plants in our back yard when we lived in CA from '70-75, so they were a pretty common sight on our dinner table, not strange or exotic. I miss them a lot -- I won't eat the horrible little things that pass for artichokes after they've been shipped to the sticks.

yah I think you can just reduce this to foods that take a long time to extract and peel and eat

i like cracking a peanut and finding 3 peanuts instead of 2 because it's like you won a little peanuts lotto scratcher.

hm.. i guess getting 3:2 payoff is actually more like hitting a blackjack. either way, feel like a champion.

salt water taffy -- very satisfyingly chewy

kale takes a lot of chewing. sometimes....too much.

hot pot takes so long, it's true!!

oh, boiled crawfish
and shrimp

hot pot takes so long you totally smell like hot pot for the rest of the nightbut it's good so who cares

presumably
fondue could kill you
those little raclette melters that apparently french people use?!

bony fish can take a long time to eat maybe not appealing to a lot of people though
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Monday, 19 November 2012 22:21 (twelve years ago)
i like that -- it slows me down and makes me appreciate each bitethat's basically why i love all of these foods in varying degrees
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 19 November 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago)
bony fish is another key call

I guess a steak takes a long time to eat
chicken wings (but not drumsticks) maybe? fish heads!
lobster yes
crab kinda but I have only eaten it a couple of times and made a terrifying massacre of it both times. I need to learn better crab eating skillz
I used to hate eating artichokes because it was such a dog and pony show for such a little payoff, but now I love them
still cannot abide pomegranates. it's like eating fruity little baby teeth. gross.

fondue yes but maybe I like dessert fondue over cheese fondues? I'm not sure.

That is not even right.

I have a major blindspot when it comes to melted chocolate, moreso than even melted cheese

I love crab marathons. The best part of living in Redding was Dungeness season every fall/winter, setting up at the dining room table with crabs and beers and extraction tools.

Best meal I ever had was a seafood platter to share at the Belga Queen in Brussels. Maybe not the tastiest, but the most fun in a two-hour session of 'what do I do with this?' 'Am I meant to eat this bit?' kind of way.
