Round 1c:

Succulent crustaceans or savory roasts?

(*) In the OP I used “shellfish” as short-hand but this would unintentionally include mussels, clams, oysters etc. The food items in question are limited to shrimps, prawns, lobster, crabs, crawfish.

This feels like a coin flip to me. I love 'em both but also feel like I could get by without either one if I had to.

Not big on either for dietary reasons. But I’m more likely to have seafood over steak.

Gonna take roasts because in reality I eat them more often but i should probably just eat shrimp more frequently. It’s also a lot more versatile but I’m going with practicality over idealism.

This is a super easy crustacean choice because there is no roast that isn’t better in steak or chop form. With a steak or a chop you get to season and brown a much greater surface area. Roasts are festive and fun but a clearly suboptimal meat configuration. The only exception could be something like round, which is generally roasted and sliced thin and isn’t eaten as a steak. But that’s just because it’s a borderline inedible cut of meat that has to be painstakingly prepared to be marginally palatable.

In shrimp vs roast shrimp wins easily. Throw in crabs, crawfish, and lobster and it is an absolute no-brainer.

Unfortunately, Americans have never really learned to appreciate a really good kebab from some grotty place in an alley at 2 am when you’re walking around drunk. Well, any kebab, really. Just never caught on here like it did in Europe. All the “kebab shops” over here are hipster places with weird veggies and even weirder sauces trying to be “fusion” or some shit.

Fuck that noise. Shave the meat off, lettuce, tomatoes, that awesome red sauce they use that I don’t even know what it is, throw it in a pita, and gimme. Don’t make me choose the type of meat (chicken? get the fuck out), the type of veggies, and if I see fucking “mango-tomatillo” sauce as an option I’m noping the fuck out of there.

This makes me incredibly sad because it’s easily a top five fast food in the world for me.

Listen, I think gyros and kebab are great, but fried chicken is a monster. Kebab vs.Southern US fried chicken alone would be a battle that kebab probably loses, are we putting kebab up against Southern fried chicken, General Tso’s, Cantonese fried chicken, chicken tempura, and all the other worldwide styles of fried chicken? It’s not a fair fight at all.

Pita is for casuals. Lahmacun is where it’s at

Shit, I flew through the pics and just assumed we were talking about Southern fried chicken and still insta-clicked the button.

Maybe Americans don’t roam around drunk late at night like good Europeans do. There are times when nothing but a curry or a kebab with chilli sauce will do.
