Hello,
Everyone's taste is different, some people love hot spicy food, others enjoy bitter, cold foods. Many cannot tolerate certain foods because they're allergic to them, and subsequently have to avoid said food at all costs depending on the severity of the reaction. But there are people who can eat a type of food but don't largely due to preference, choice or some event surrounding it. So i made a thread to discuss it, after noticing there isn't one (and if there is, it is probably very old, and Soldier isn't a necroposter, that's for sure).
I'll start:
Despite living near the coastline, whenever i go to a seafood restaurant, I always go for the burgers, salads or chicken. There's a good reason for this, and it's due to me raising a lot of what they sell there. During my high school years i was tasked with taking care of Brown Trout, a introduced species to North America to be released in a nearby river. I was simply told "Keep as many alive as possible" as they're REALLY frail fish, barely able to tolerate poor water quality and outright cannibalistic if you don't give them the right amount of food. After a lot of trial and error i kept 600 out of 630 fish alive, losing a lot due to fungal infections, cannibalism and temperature changes that i couldn't control. It was frustrating, but worth it in the end, and i did the one thing you shouldn't do when raising animals meant for consumption: Bond with them. I empathized with their frailty as I too felt like that at times, and genuinely appreciated them spraying 15 degree Celsius water into my face while feeding them. As a result, i refused to eat any member of the salmonid family (trout included) and this eventually branched out to all bony fish. I also cared for blue lobsters and hermit crabs, and grew to appreciate their overall grouchiness (they're just like cats, except they have gills!) so that crossed off all crustaceans. In time, i began to oppose eating anything that came from any body of water, sticking to the regular, farm processed meats.
So what about you? what food do you refuse to eat? Any specific reason why?
