>I'm more making a statement about the fact that when you're at a party everyone swarms the bowl of frozen, crappy cocktail shrimp while I'm quietly hoarding the lonely St. Andre and piling it on my cracker.

Seriously. Cocktail shrimp are like the chicken McNuggets of the sea. No, actually I guess that would be fish sticks. Which I kinda like. Damn, fish sticks sound good right now.

>Much like Dom Perignon when it comes to champagne. -Strike that, DP can be damn good depending on vintage.

>Lobster can be quite good it's just never that good. It's been marketed to us as the end all of food.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Perrier Jouet. Partly because it's fucking delicious. Partly because their bottles are hand-painted. Partly because I saw this ad in Gourmet once:

...called up Perrier Jouet, asked if they had any promo materials for it, and they shipped me two giant posters.
