I would probably starve in Korea or China.
Although, I could eat a lot of veggies.
I was going to say...no you wouldn't because you ate the Korean feast I pulled together and enjoyed it, plus the noodle soups and fresh stir fried veggies would keep you happy. You like lumpia and dumplings, and you even like sushi as long as it's not raw fish and weird stuff like urchin and eel.
?? What else can sushi be?
Back in November I attended a buffet-style banquet that was the culmination of a celebration of 50 years since the establishment of the Korean SEALS. They had a "sushi line" there that was about 50 feet long (I keed you not) and staffed/prepared by 4 sushi chefs. I never knew there were so many varieties...it was amazing.

Sushi vs sashimi, sushi doesn't have to have raw meats.

I still say the only way to ruin an oyster is to cook it.
With that said, if you have ever witnessed a body being recovered from our local waters, you might never eat a crab again.

I'm sure there are a LOT of things I wouldn't eat if I knew the real source and processing. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

But crab tastes good. Skrimps taste good. Scallops - yum yum! And fried clams! And those are all fairly gross if you think about them too much. Oysters just don't taste good (except the flame roasted ones at Acme Oyster House - those are amazing).

McKays in Ltown had a seafood sale on Friday, one quart of oysters for $20. I ate my fill of oysters this weekend.
Imo, clams and manos are way more chewy than oysters.Heck when you think about it all food is gross. If I'm eating a steak and I see that round artery thingy it's all I can do to keep my food down and I won't finish the steak, nope, no way, no how. Have you seen pigs in their environment? And frankly, chickens are nasty creatures. I become a temporary vegan when I give the origins of my food any real thought.

I used to work with a guy who refused to eat chicken skin. Puzzled, I asked why, since I think it's possibly the best part. He answered "have you even BEEN in a hen house?".
Since that time, I've been to a couple chicken farms and I can absolutely say that the stench from the hen house is the worst thing I have ever experienced.

Raw oysters? Ehh, I can eat them with hot sauce, but there's no real flavor. Now some fried oysters....yeah or smoked or grilled, etc. Snails we got as kids and we didn't consider them a delicacy. Got them cheap straight from the seafood market. Mom cooked them up in a spicy spaghetti sauce same as calamari.
They are. I've made it my life's work to eat as many of them as I can. Each chicken wing I eat is one less wing that will flap menacingly at some innocent little child who was sent out by sadistic grandparents with a pan of feed.

I've never had rubbery snails. I love escargot. I also like raw oysters. Don't love them, but like them. I'm pretty fond of fried oysters, oysters rockefeller, oyster stew, and caviar.
I don't know a lot of people who like pate', but I do.
I'm sure if I think about it long enough, I'll think of something that I find totally disgusting.
Same here....and I grew up stuck with the stuff since there was always plenty of it in the garden. I do like pickled okra though...but not enough to go looking for it on a store shelf.

In my case it was a sadistic great aunt who never bothered to warn me of the overly aggressive rooster with the really sharp spurs. Thank you for your good work, may no child ever suffer puncture wounds while attempting to feed chickens again!
