What's cooking?

I’ve been to Istanbul about five times, maybe more. I really love the city. Its ancient history makes walking around the city very interesting, and there are plenty of significant landmarks to see. The food is also delicious—I would recommend trying all the street food; it’s truly tasty. I would definitely enjoy going back there again.

Yeah, I’m willing to try it. It’s rather unconventional for me, but why not? This would certainly be higher on my list than rat meat. That’s for sure.

I can’t eat horse meat. I consider them friends of humanity. Lol. It is like eating dog meat which is another thing forever off the menu for me.

Anything you deem as cute/friendly is off the list?

haha. I’m not a veggie if that is what you mean :smile:. I can’t really say because I’ve never eaten one. I am open to the idea, however. It is really funny the way you phrased the question :sweat_smile:.

I can understand that it’s off-putting to eat an animal that normally you think of as cute, or only in the context of a companion. Rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs…

How about goldfish? Are eating goldfish out of the question?

Would you be against eating snakes if you had a pet snake as a kid?

The emotional interpretation certainly changes things, doesn’t it?

Yes, the emotional interpretation does change things. I have always maintained that our psychology influences our taste. It is possible for someone to kill, cook and eat snake, not for its taste, but to assert his dominance over something that has caused him trauma where such action is the only way for him to make peace with his past and embrace the future. The taste is really a complex network of naturally occurring patterns or learned patterns. That said, I cannot eat goldfish for no other reason than the fact that it is alien to my taste or something. The fact that it is cute may exert some influence, but not enough as to override the taste I have built up over the years. Lastly, snakes are out of the menu for me…I have every reason, and, yet, no reason for excluding them off my meal.

Man, homeboy really piled on those peas, didn’t he? haha

I agree that it doesn’t look bad. I’ll eat this before I eat puffer fish. That’s for sure. As long as it’s not dangerous, I’ll try lots of different foods.

You can say that again.

How do animals not get sick, then?
As per google:
For one, fresh meat is much less likely to be contaminated with bacteria. Also, carnivores have a simpler, smoother and shorter digestive tract compared with omnivores and especially herbivores.

lol, dogs aren’t bothered by that? The reason I ask is that I’ve watched a dog owner feed his dog the same thing every day and the dog wouldn’t eat it right away altho the dog was asking to be fed, and the owner would say- when he realized there was nothing else coming and when he start starving he will eat it. and thas was the dog favorite food.
