ferfoodle Posted November 18, 2011 #26 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Just out of curiousity (and a directly related to Carnival question), is conch served on the Carnival ships that have the fish and chips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyntil8ing Posted November 18, 2011 #27 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Just to add nothing of value to this ridiculous thread, there is an attraction in Grand Turk named Conch World. There, they have performing conch. I have no idea what the performing conch do, because I was too cheap to pay to see it. I did however, pay for the conch that weren't good enough to be in the show. They were yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted November 18, 2011 #28 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The best conch I ever had was made by a diver on the dock in Nassau....our tour guide stopped at a little produce market and bought an orange, a lime, a red onion and a habanero pepper. We went over to the diver who had just pulled the conch out of the sea and watched him remove it from the shell, and then prepare ceviche......he chopped all the produce up very finely and even useing the whole pepper it was still mild and very yummy..........washed it down with a Kalik beer...........

peepaw Posted November 18, 2011 #29 Share Posted November 18, 2011 i heard somewhere that carnival was substituting conch fritters for the 'gator. There carnival and conch in the same sentence! Even introduced 'gator and no mention of shrimp......ah shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted November 18, 2011 Author #31 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Bruschetta is one that never fails to annoy me. Just about every server in the States says "brooshetta". :rolleyes: How do you say it? Broosketa or brooshetta? Both acceptable, first is most accepted. I've been saying brooshetta.

Ship Addict Posted November 18, 2011 #32 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sheesh, some people seem to have some long toes. Chill out, have some conch...or just don't open a thread. still don't get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker4 Posted November 18, 2011 #33 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Growing up in Tampa and the Keys (Dad's family came from Key West) I can tell you that if anyone had pronounced it conch, few if any would have any idea what you were talking about. It was Conk and they still call it that on every island I've been to in the Caribbean.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookish Angel Posted November 18, 2011 #34 Share Posted November 18, 2011 We could always tell a newcomer or visitor by their mispronunciation of conch. I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted November 19, 2011 Author #35 Share Posted November 19, 2011 still don't get this. Long toes are easily stepped on. A post, which has been deleted, complained this was a stupid thread and didn't belong on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted November 19, 2011 #37 Share Posted November 19, 2011 How do you say it? Broosketa or brooshetta? Both acceptable, first is most accepted. I've been saying brooshetta. Guess you would get some arguments about this subject. Broo "sketa" is the proper Italian pronunciation and it is an Italian word. However, like many things in the US the word has been Americanized which is to say that many folks say broo "shetta" because they do not know the proper pronunciation. But that is just the way things are in our country. I once watched a popular cooking show where the hostess kept talking about "Earl" during the show. When DW came back into our TV room I asked her if she knew who "Earl" was. She quickly explained that "Earl" was oil. But I am sure Paula Deen would insist that "Earl" in the proper pronunciation. :) Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceMuzz Posted December 8, 2011 #41 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's ship, not boat. It's steward, not stewart. It's muster, not mustard. It's their, not there. It's too, not to. It's Moet et Chandon, not Moway et Chandon. It's Dom Perignon, not Don Perignon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted January 3, 2012 Author #45 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just saw a Top Chef episode where they were taken to a deserted island and have to dive for conch. One of the chefs called it "conch"!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runaway Parent Posted January 16, 2012 #47 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yes, be sure to try conch (pronounced "conk") chowder and conch fritters in the Bahamas! Delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michmike Posted February 5, 2012 #48 Share Posted February 5, 2012 conch fritters.. mmmmmmmmmmmmm if you haven't had them - DEMAND THEM!! We've been known to head down to Alabama Jack's in Key Largo just to get a batch before we sail. Whet our appetite for what's to come in the caribbean. Decent little place downtown in Grand Turk just opposite the multi-colored octagonal vendor stands and another (Cameo restaurant?) in Nassau. And if you have occasion to be in SW florida, hit Lazy Flamingo for good fritters AND pretty darn good conch chowder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capncarp Posted May 20, 2013 #49 Share Posted May 20, 2013 It's ship, not boat.It's steward, not stewart. It's muster, not mustard. It's their, not there. It's too, not to. It's Moet et Chandon, not Moway et Chandon. It's Dom Perignon, not Don Perignon. Ok, so I'm going to ship my conch to the boat and ask Steward the Stewart to bring muster to the mustard drill. Their we will have some of there champagne. and drink Moway et Chandon and Don Perignon with Moet, Chandon, and Dom. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
