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

Catfish, sushi, and steak are considered shocking foods?

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.

I'm shocked.

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.

Very different actually. Dog and Cat are domestic animals and coyote/lion are wild. If you have had the wild and domestic Versions of any meat there is always a big difference. Wild/domestic Duck? Chicken vs pheasant? wild/domestic turkey? Wild or domestic hog? Even comparing beef to deer. Its not that its ever bad vs good. Its usually both good, but very different good between the domestic and the wild Versions.

Yes, I'm aware of this, having had a lot of these, but it's different in a SIMILAR way. It's not something which English has words to explain.

yeah shrimps and lobster are very hard to eat and i have no expierience at it .
but this doesn't prevent me of eating them when i am at holiday . there i try to eat as much as possible shrimps / lobsters cause i know they are expensive but i already paid for them with my hotel bill .
not that i like them much but this way i think i got something back from my money .
kinda wierd behaviour of myself but it tastes better when you know it's expensive and you get it kinda for free

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...

A perusal of the Web via Google reveals that "sashimi" is, indeed, raw fish, while "sushi" is the combination of sashimi and rice into one of several different styles. Think of sushi as the menu item you order, and sashimi as the key ingredient of that item.

Anyone interested in further study can try this link, or this one.

Ain't nothing better than something free. Me, I feel that there's no meat quite like freshly killed, especially if you killed it yourself.
