Can't stand food where you leave the bones in. It just bugs me. The sardines you eat whole... soft-shell crab... I'll eat it... but I don't particularly like the idea.
There's a beijing delicacy made from pig lower intestine... that's actually delicious
On these two things we can whole-heartedly agree, Victor. My wife cooks a lot of dishes that are very tasty, but I do not partake due to the bones issue. Her fish sinigang is good. But it has fish bones in it, and that's a put off for me. When I sit to eat, I want to shovel and chew... I don't want to be picking sh*t out of my teeth.
When I eat crab or lobster, which I absolutely love... I will get all the work done, first. Then I'll eat.
Tuna fish head soup broth is frickin' amazing... and I'll eat it with rice, but ya damn sure know I'm putting the rice on my plate, covering it with the broth, and adding chunks of (no bones) fish meat before I sit to eat.
True story... My wife makes chicken adobo while my pops is visiting... she brings me a plate, shredded chicken mixed with rice and broth already. She hands my dad a plate with broth covered rice and a chicken leg and thigh. Dad looks at his plate, then looks at mine and says... "Jesus, kid... you got her trained".
