      I don't really get how Americans in particular became so uniquely squicked out by the thought of eating any part of any animal they can't get at a Texas steakhousehttps://twitter.com/aquariuschicken/status/1326810777861304321 …

      Vapor Weyve added,

      Rebecca Y. Lee @aquariuschicken
      This is so annoying. Using most parts of an animal is good, actually, and being horrified by offal and... literally just fish.... is so boring https://twitter.com/acertainellen/status/1326214083520196609 …

      I know there's discourse about how it's morally wrong if not outright ableist to shame people for not being "adventurous" with their culinary choices (and ethnocentrist to refer to any food as "adventurous" to begin with) but like your palate is totally socially constructed

      like do you think it's in your DNA to be chickenshit about eating tripe, or insects for that matter because I assure you it is not

      There's a certain degree to which it's "natural" to recoil at insects as being associated with vermin and decay, although I don't think it's any more "natural" than recoiling at eating something that bleeds red blood like a human does

      It's funny thinking about how animals you're okay with eating have to fall in the zone between "viscerally disgusted by them" and "like them enough to think of them as people"

      Like in India, how the logics for abstaining from beef as a Hindu and for abstaining from pork as a Muslim are exactly opposite from each other

      When it comes to eating raccoons it seems like two halves of American culture turned against the concept for these two opposite reasons simultaneously -- you either think of a raccoon as a pet or you think of it as disgusting vermin

      Raccoon meat was never super common, since it is extremely gamey But it was once considered an all-American tradition, part of the staple diet of the fur-trapping pioneers who first lit out West etc. (you can't just waste the meat after you make a coonskin cap)

      Long, long before Ronald Reagan started the facetious "turkey pardon" tradition, this actually happened with Calvin Coolidge The White House pet raccoon Rebecca was originally intended to be served for a traditional American Thanksgiving feast and was "pardoned"
