    32 years ago, I told my wife that I don't like hardboiled eggs. She is still asking me if I want one, and then insisting that I just haven't had a properly made one when I decline.
    In with the 9.

    No doubt seafood is easy to mess up and hard to eat if done incorrectly.

    I’m not wild about congee or cream of rice, but I like Kheer and Risotto.

    maybe it’s because I avoid fish when eating out generally, but it seems the error with most seafood meals is at the beginning - using fish that’s not good enough quality/freshness for the dish chosen. Other than choosing a different recipe, there was nothing to do right.

    Ceviche

    Amazing when fresh and well prepared. If not, ...

    In my backpacking days I used to mix instant rice, grated parmesan, squeeze margarine, and onion soup mix and call it risotto. Ironically.

    The only way you can make backpacking food bad is if you can't get the stove lit. Otherwise, appetite takes care of any cooking mishaps. (Like dumping the cooked macaroni on the ground and having to wash it and then strain it through a plastic wire scrubber.)

    Huh? You discounted ice cold ceviche sold by a Mexican close to the Gulf / border? Fail.

    Yeah, it’s not like you could have just gone to a decent restaurant or anything-

    Flip-flops are often more appropriate than loafers Larry.

    Were fried eggs mentioned? Fried eggs are nasty if underdone.

    Is it possible that the worst and best are both the more breaded variety? The worst is definitely the oil-soaked thick wrapped, but I think I've had a very good one done that way without all the grease.

    I've all but given up ordering CR because it's so hard to get a description of what they're making beforehand and I hate bad ones.

    Almost any kind of game meat or Venison.
    There is transcendent, and there is gamey gristle with not enough marbling/fat.

    Ha! I was just about to mention eggs. I’ve discovered that I have no idea how to cook eggs at home, at least not to the same standard that I can get at a good restaurant.

    Start with concentrated stock and it’s nearly indistinguishable. I am in a rush and am happy to take shortcuts if the end result is basically the same.
