Eating feathers.

Pretty much any of those "HEY LOOK WHAT I CAN WRAP IN BACON AND STUFF IN MY MAW" kind of internet things + meatship/tank.

I use the Five Stage theory to determine that. If a food has gone thru more than five or more stages of preparation/manipulation then it's now garbage.

e.g.:

1. fresh picked/harvested/slaughtered ("eaten off the tree")
2. chopped/prepared/cleaned (e.g. salad, carpaccio)
3. cooked
4. leftovers (cooked again)
5. garbage


Also, canned tuna is automatically garbage.

It's kind of like pornography, you can't really define it, but you know it when you see it.

Lung and/or liver. And whole tripe pieces. Those are disgusting. How can you digest a cow's stomach lining? Liver has a lot of iron, so it's bad for you as well. I just can't stand liver-type stuff.

I've eaten heart, kidney, brain, and the "sweetbreads." All of them are delicious when properly prepared. There is a Turkish soup made of lamb brains and tripe. It's really good.

Sun God: Lung and/or liver.


Lung is all right - or at least rabbit lung is, in soup.

I've eaten many strange things, but I draw the line at intentional bug consumption.

Sun God: Liver has a lot of iron

And quite a number of toxins ingested during the animal's recent meals and converted into carcinogens by enzymes in the liver.

I have a friend for whom strawberries fit into the "Sorry, but that's just foul" category.

That's why you only eat calf liver. If it came from a cow older than 2 years, throw it back.

chemical_angel: When it still has a face and it's been murdered.

FTFY. if god didn't want us to eat animals then why the fark are they delicious?

however, i do draw the line at anything that's still looking at me, that's just creepy. like lobster, giant red sea bug that was crawling around with rubber bands on it's pincers not half an hour ago is now sitting on my plate looking at me. at least chpo the farking head off.

/lobster tails, bites, or any other form i'll eat all day.
//but fark whole animals on a plate.
///and fried liver is delicious.

I know it's a cultural thing, but I don't understand people who eat bugs. There are villages (many in Southeast Asia) where they have plenty of tasty chickens, cows, and pigs walking around, and these farking people are eating cockroaches and beetles. Nasty, man.

I also don't see the need to eat octopus. Those things are just gross. If you can catch an octopus you can sure as hell catch a variety of fish, which are a lot less disgusting to eat.

chemical_angel: When it has a face and it's been murdered.

If we as a species didn't "murder" things with "faces" for food along the way, you wouldn't be here right now.

If you feel soft and fuzzy toward animals, great. Wonderful. You don't have to eat them. It's your life. But if you expect to convince anyone that the human animal is not an evolved omnivore, and that eating meat is somehow an aberrant perversion of nature, you're hopelessly deluded.

So it's cool so long as I chop its face off before murdering it? Because I don't eat the face, anyway.

Sun God: I just can't stand liver-type stuff.

What I can't stand about liver is the powdery texture of it. Yuck.

At yakitori places you can get livers specifically (so, bird livers), my mom actually likes them a lot, I just don't get it. I'll even get the cartilage ones before the livers, and I'm not such a fan of those either.

I like octopus.

Bugs I can MAYBE envision myself eating if they're big enough so that when you cook it the inside would end up rather lobster/shrimp/crab esque. Chewing the whole thing? No thanks. But I'll eat entire tiny fish, so I know there's no logic in it.

Not going to have the boiled silkworm pupae either (big in Korea). They're supposedly really good for you but... no, unless I'm really hard up for food.

I think with a lot of foods it's really about getting used to eating it before you really give much thought to what it is... so, eating it as a kid.

a foul, disgusting hunk of crap that shouldn't come anywhere near the human mouth?'"

That about sums up my cooking talent. I have a special ability to turn all food into this.

/Terrible at cooking.

I can't stomach octopus. It grosses me out. I do like squid though. I have also tried escargot, and thought it wasn't bad. Mussels and oysters also gross me out. I don't know, must be a variety of things going on.

I used to like octopus until I saw one struggling to not be shoved alive into a pot of boiling water.
I understand that we've evolved to eat meat, but watching something so intelligent fight being boiled alive really put me off eating it.

itazurakko: I like octopus.

Ok since you have lots of experience with the food, you ever had natto? I know a lot of people won't eat it. Myself I've never had the chance, so I can't say when actually provided the chance to have some if I would have it. On the other hand, while other people get all sorts of queasy thinking about it, uni? Yes please.

That's why you put it in a pot of room temperature water, THEN boil it. Same with lobster.

I like tortoises.

The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that
odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to
look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like tortoises.

I took my 200 tortoises home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His
name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really
bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed.
Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.

I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new
environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at
high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the
spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.

Two hours later I found out why all the tortoises were so inexpensive:
they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead.
Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn
cheap tortoises.

I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead tortoises lying all over my
room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked
like I had 200 throw rugs.

I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck.
Then I had one dead, wet tortoise and 199 dead, dry tortoises.

I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for
a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real
bad.

I had to pee but there was a dead tortoise in the toilet and I didn't want
to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.

I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately
there was only enough room for two tortoises at a time so I had to change
them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so
it didn't all go bad.

I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to
extinguish the fire.

Then I had one dead, wet tortoise in my toilet, two dead, frozen tortoises in
my freezer, and 197 dead, charred tortoises in a pile on my bed. The odor
wasn't improving.

I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my tortoises and to use the
bathroom. I severely beat one of my tortoises. I felt better.

I tried throwing them way but the garbage man said that the city wasn't
allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet
one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the
frozen ones.

I finally arrived at a solution. I whistled for a cab and when it came near
the license plate said FRESH and it had dice in the mirror.
If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought,
"Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!"

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there,
to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

The tradition is to smack the live octopus on rocks 100 times after you catch it. This procedure tenderizes it.

WhyteRaven74: Ok since you have lots of experience with the food, you ever had natto?

Yeah, it's pretty common. I'll admit, I'm not such a fan - but it's the one food that people seem fairly divided on, (usually if you don't like some food or other you get the "adults shouldn't have likes and dislikes and by the way, let me tell you about starving as a kid!" stories). I'll eat it when it's served up for breakfast, but won't order it for myself on purpose.

It's got that sickly sweet decay thing happening. Not a fan. Not wild about the texture either.

In general though the foods I'm not so fond of are the vinegary or sour flavors. Funny thing though, I like Japanese pickles and I like quite a bit of kimchi, but standard US/European pickles or sauerkraut type things or lots of salad dressing? No thanks.

I didn't smack my octopus on rocks beforehand. I'll have to try that some day.

You know what else grosses me out? Coconut milk. I like coconuts, and have one in my fridge at this moment. The thought though of of drinking the milk out of a hairy looking nut grosses me out.

Lutefisk, even with a pound of melted butter poured over it.

That really bothers me. A lot. Marine biology involves a lot more killing of small animals than I thought and it's getting to me.
At least once a week I collect larval fish and put them into jars of formaldehyde for population surveys.
I have to watch them slowly struggle to swim as they try to fight the poison they're breathing.
Doing that a lot does bad things to my head.

muck4doo: The Japanese also invented tentacle porn.

Yes they did. And the world has never thought of them the same way since.

itazurakko: Not wild about the texture either.

That's what I've heard gets to lots of people. As for pickled things, kimchi, pickles from pretty well anywhere, pickled beets etc etc, I love it.

You're doing it too fast. If you go slow enough they can adapt. Did you know there are sea horses in Lake Titicaca?

I think they were put there by two girls, one cup at a time.

No, my job is to kill them.
They sit in those jars for months before they're analyzed, and the people who use them hate it when they're rotten.
