I think your right with it just being the thought of fish lol
i dont get it though ,, i eat animals lol


If it is not allergy, then you may try fish in many ways you don't feel yuck. The old England fish and chips for example. Or go fishing somewhere and eat them over a camp fire. Or I bet if some top chef cook you some nice dishes without telling the main ingredient is fish. You will first love the dish, then you will accept the concept of fish, cause you really can't tell the differences! Actually, some of the fish meat are the best meat to taste, not mentioning they are the excellent source of lean protein.
 
Indian

Surprised Indian was only mentioned a couple of times - butter chicken, lamb korma, sag paneer..mmmmmm... For me, Indian, Mexican, Thai (or anything Asian). Also love Brazilian Rodizio style...

You are absolutely right about Brazilian Rodizio….I totally forgot about this culinary delight. I went to a restaurant in Chicago called Fogo de Chão a few years ago, it was absolutely amazing. There is a Brazilian Rodizio style restaurant in Toronto called the Red violin, that I have yet to try!

For those of you that have not tried Rodizio, here is a description of the type of food that is served (Vegetarians need not apply):

Rodizio is a style of restaurant service in Brazilian and Portuguese restaurants. One pays a fixed price and the waiters bring an offering of food to each customer at several times throughout the meal, until the customers signify that they have had enough. Servers come to the table with knives and a skewer, on which are speared various kinds of meat, most commonly local cuts of beef, pork, or chicken. This service is typical in churrascarias.
Foods served at a churrascaria often include:
 Filet mignon chunks wrapped in bacon
 Turkey chunks wrapped in bacon (these two are usually two-bite sized)
 Sirloin steak (cut semicircular and served in slices)
 Roast beef (served like sirloin steak)
 Beef short ribs
 Pork ribs
 Chorizo or some other spicy Iberian pork sausage
 Chicken hearts
 Grilled dark-meat chicken
 Grilled pineapple (meant as a palate cleanser between courses)
Most rodizio courses are served right off the cooking skewer, and are sliced or plated right at the table. In some restaurants, they are accompanied with Spanish fried potatoes, fried bananas, collard greens, black beans, and rice.

The Red Violin is quite good - been there a few times...also, Samba in Vancouver is nice. The best one I've been to though was in Prague - I think it was called Ambiente Brasileiro. yum yum!

I've heard of this cuisine before. I didn't know that there was a place in Toronto that did it! Where is the Red Violin located?

Really!? I was unaware of the fact that Brazilian Rodizio is becoming the next “in-trend” type of eating experience. If the Red Violin is anything like Fogo de Chão, man I am in for a treat!! When I got back from my trip to Chicago (Hooked up with some girls, that my buddy and I met in Mexico), I talked about the Restaurant for months!

I didn’t really eat the pork or chicken, I was more into the various cuts of beef that they had to offer! The meat was cooked to perfection and seasoned, oh so nicely, excellent!!
