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 …

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"

Pets and way too filthy to eat are hardly contradictory.

Yeah honestly after some of the shit I've seen I would feel really weird having to eat cat meat and it wouldn't in fact be mostly out of sympathy for the cat

That line from the Telltale Walking Dead, when the humans haven't had any meat in weeks and they see a fat raccoon wandering around their camp "I would eat the SHIT out of that raccoon" *beat* "Um, what I meant was, I would very, very much like to eat that raccoon"
