I love octopus and squid for example. This one, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that was my first time. Hence it's my one example of trying something new that didn't work out. I'm adventurous when ordering, so it comes with the territory and had to happen eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I won't go for squid, octopus or the like unless it comes recommended, or I've tried someone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I just don't like the look of squid or octopus, so i will never eat it I'm not an adventurous eater I'd say 80% chicken for dinners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Could you see a chicken killed, being prepared and cooked and then eat it? I think I'd struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've seen it before. Spending time in Asia helps with this. Brutal reality is however you kill them on your farm is no more bleak than their end in a slaughterhouse.

I think I'd struggle. Sure. Have done. As a primary school kid I used to go for country walks with my cousin, and he'd shoot rabbits for the pot. I learned how to skin and eviscerate them. This despite being a sensitive animal lover. That ol' cognitive dissonance again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, chickens, pheasant, rabbit and fish no problem with prepping any of them. My old man used to work on a farm when I was a kid, so I have some distant memories of collecting eggs and selecting animals for slaughter and hanging pheasants and all that. Catching, prepping and eating mackerel is a bit of a summer ritual. Eating whole baby octopus is a rare treat. Got to be fresh, but possibly my fave meal. That and a good rabbit stew. Incidentally, I was a vegetarian for about 16 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
