Catfish, sushi, and steak are considered shocking foods?

It wasn't steak but steak tartare, in this one you don't cook the flesh, and it taste really good.

There are countries that are shocked at the idea of raw fish or raw steak (steak tartare). And some where the idea of eating scavengers is considered offensive. Lobster, crab, crayfish, catfish. They consider it less offensive to eat parasites like leeches and ticks than to eat anything that lives on decaying flesh like a vulture does. Some consider eating "garbage eaters" to be offensive like pigs and rats. Others consider domesticated animals off limits like cows, horses, dogs, cats. Seems like everyplace has some that are acceptable and some shock them.

oh, steak tartare.

I thought sushi was just a type of rice and sashimi is the raw fish. At least, that's what all the Japanese've been telling me...

Don't think I've ever had the opportunity to eat a dog or a cat before. I'm pretty sure that dogs don't taste too different from coyote, and cats probably taste a lot like lion, only not as tough. Horses are good, very tangy.

Me, I draw a line for what I eat at whether or not it is tasty. If it doesn't taste good, I prefer not to eat it. Also, if it takes too much work to eat, I prefer not to eat it. Lobster, for instance, is inordinately bothersome to eat for the amount of meat you can extract from it.

Now I'm *sure* that Demosthenes was correct in thinking that you're insane. Only certifiable nut-cases, or spec-ops guys (not that there's a difference), eat bugs. Ick. Yuck. Bleh.

LOL. What else is new? I thought all forum's regualars are well aware for a long time already of Norfleet being a certifiable nutcase.

I wish I could say I've eaten dogs before, like all other Chinese, but I haven't . I never found Lobster bothersome, but shrimp definitely are. No food is a good enough reward for going through all that shell, especially with my stiff newbie fingers
