Cod, halibut, salmon, trout, haddock etc fillets are all fine with me (last night's lenten buns were preceded by seared trout fillets with dill&garlic crushed potatoes). Your pulled pork dish sounds heavenly. And I'm utterly sorry to break your heart. Didn't mean to:) If persuaded, I might consider trying a scallop to start with. Maybe..

Or my waist. Hmmm. Because of my stupid diet I've tried to cut back on fatty yet delicious cuts of meat, and thus eaten way too much fish, veggies etc. Nothing wrong with that though - veggie food can be and often is super good. But nonetheless I have recurring dreams of braised beef/lamb/goat/pork shanks (especially osso bucco), and various cheap cuts of pork, very slowly braised or roasted. Back in the day in Boston during by Atkins period I often made pulled pork by cooking boned pork shoulders for 12 hours in a low temperature. Very, very tasty with good BBQ sauce in a sandwich, as a main course, or straight from the pot. *drools* :) I knew you didn't fancy fish, but the rest of your list/confession breaks my heart!!! OK, calamari shares genes with a standard issue eraser, but mussels and octopi can be prepared to absolute perfection in both taste and texturewise. As soon as I can find a properly sized octopus in Helsinki (~1 kg), I'll make insalata di pulpo and worship-blog about it. Meanwhile I should experiment with baby octopi and marinate them.

Neither are mussels, octopus, shrimps, calamari etc. I have no proof, but I just know:) I thought you were craving for beef and not just any meat, Antti! :)
