I had some of those a few days ago...yummy.

AnyThing with chocolate is great in my book (okay, well maybe not just anything...).

Raisins, almonds, peanuts, ants... You cover it in chocolate, I'll eat it.

When I used to work at a theme park, often we would have to take a short cut through the Food Service Whse.  And right there next to the aisle was a big case of Chocolate Covered Raisins.  We always managed to sneak a handful as we passed.

That is probably the one thing coated with chocolate I can't tolerate. Raisins gross me out for some reason....they remind me of little bugs and then when I chew them...well ~shivers~ I imagine that is exactly what chewing up a soft bug would be like.

When I was a kid...I sucked the chocolate off the raisins and then spit the raisins at my brother, on the ground, or where ever I could get the best reaction.

Yogurt covered raisins beat the chocolate covered ones for me. Hands down. I like chocolate covered as well, but something about the yogurt flavor. Yum.

What do you have against chocolate covered bugs?

Well, I can think of one thing I wouldn't eat covered in chocolate, but then a dog turd would be a terrible waste of chocolate don't you think?

Yeah I'd have a hard time passing by without snatching some. I'd probably think of excuses to go that way

I buy a trail mix now and then that has yogurt covered raisons. Not bad, but for this chocoholic nothing beats the chocolate ones.

This is a little off topic...but I watched a tv show once and they said lobster is in the same "family" as the cockroach. The same body segments or something...I'm not going to pretend to know something I don't..hehe.

I used to love Lobster. Now every time I see it I think "red roach" and just can't bring myself to eat it. You've heard "chicken of the sea" well now there is "roach of the sea"......Of course it might have to do with seeing Philippinoes rip the heads off rice bugs (big cock roach looking bugs) and sucking the rice out of their guts...hahahaha.

~gags~

Anyway, lobster = red roach now to me...some people have to ruin things for EVERYONE....

Buwhahahahaha.

While both are in the phylum Arthropoda (jointed appendages), cockroaches are classified in the class Insecta and lobsters are classified in the subphylum Crustacea.

Not that it will change your mind about eating them ... lobsters, that is.

Chocolate covered raisins? Only one of the tastiest snacks known to mankind!

HAHAHAHA. WHAT?

All I see when reading that is lobsters = sea roach...buwhahahahaha.

You're right it doesn't quite dent that image.

Thanks for the info!

What other things are crustaceans? Anything edible?

Crabs, shrimp, crawfish, etc... Basically anything that lives in water, has a shell and usually claws.

So anything that reminds me of roaches?

buwhwhahaha.

Isn't that sad? I am serious when I say I LOVED Lobster but something about that idea just stuck in my head...even though it is not what I "heard" it to be...the facts I mean.

Why do people have to ruin a good thing?

Though I can say now..just thinking about some lobster...I can probably convince myself with time lobsters and roaches aren't cousins.

I have called lobster "cockroach of the sea" for years, but this is the first I've heard of it being in the same family. My nickname for them came about after a "Dateline" story where a guy killed a woman and disposed of her in lobster beds...when they found her, there was little left to identify.

I haven't eaten lobster since. Maybe there was something to that whole Levitical thing (ya THINK!)

I was never wild about choco-covered raisins, (usually because the chocolate they use is waxy and not very good) but I'll never eat another one now without remembering this description, thanks a lot!


See what I mean? Some people ruin it for everyone!

I'll never be able to eat another.


Buwhahahaha. Good idea.

Maybe there was something to that whole Levitical thing (ya THINK!)


Yup.

but we can hijack a thread something FIERCE, can't we?



HAHAHAHA. Points is points as LW says.
