AP ^ | 2/27/2019

Alabama police say a dispute over crab legs at a dinner buffet ended in a brawl that left two people facing misdemeanor charges.

Huntsville police officer Gerald Johnson says he was eating at the Meteor Buffet restaurant when a fight broke out.

Johnson tells WHNT-TV that diners were using service tongs like fencing swords and plates were shattering, and a woman was beating a man. Johnson says diners had been waiting in line for crab legs for more than 10 minutes, and they lost their tempers once the food came out.

Back in the 1990s, I used to go to a Buffet restaurant (with a group) and we never saw that. The place had great food, but we were polite.

Come at me with a pair of tongs and she would get a double tap. Self defense.

If the buffet mentions crab legs, don’t go. There are some people who will just eat the crab legs.
I don’t like the crab legs so it doesn’t affect me but people get really angry.

They are both good, the difference between the two are:

Like king crabs, snow crabs have very long legs that provide a lot of their meat. Snow crab meat is quite tasty, but is considered a little more fibrous than king crab meat. Their legs are thinner and less impressive than king crabs'. Snow crab claws are small, just the right size for a bite or two.

But I was thinking regular crab legs to be honest. The whole crab is a waste of time as far as I am concerned. They were okay as a young adult when money was tighter and we ate them by the dozens with our beer. 8>)

Crab legs are too much work. But, that’s just me.

That's also my opinion, especially at Chinese buffets. They are so small. I have the same opinion about crawfish.

"LMAO...ok. They bring it onto themselves....no help needed." They? So when you see leftists go on their daily bash white people because like THEY do constantly, are you going to say "they brought that onto themselves... no help needed" too? Or are you going to whine about the left's anti-white attitude and how terrible they are for it? I read it on FR every day. Funny how then you get the same people gleefully doing the same thing, just aimed at some minority group.

I have only been to one crawfish boil. It was delicious, but all the little cuts I had on my fingers, that I did not know where there, stung for at least three days afterwards.

When you go to a crawfish boil you really can't tear those heads off while wearing gloves.

So, I will stick to my cedar-planked salmon and lobster bisque.

“....Or are you going to whine about the left’s anti-white attitude and how terrible they are for it?...”
I find there’s a difference between low IQ morons (regardless of race, BTW.) doing outright moronic acts, and leftists trying to establish a policy position. The left is a cunning enemy pushing an agenda. We are at war with the left. IF the left wants to stereotype, I say stereotype em right back. I despise the very ground the left’s shadow falls on and just about all they stand for. They’re outright evil. Morons? Well, I don’t despise em. Instead, I just wish they’d garner some resemblance of intelligence and quit doing stupid BS.

There are a lot of unhealthy choices in a buffet line.

Navigating a buffet line is an exercise in self-discipline and restraint. So much not good for you.

I try to avoid buffets because the lower class people tend to go there but when I do, I try to stick to the meats that aren't breaded and try to put together a salad that consists of healthy ingredients. It's actually quite a challenge.

Clearly a racists, sexist and simply no manners for not letting her take what is rightfully hers. Just ask her she will clarify it.
