Your Controversial Food Opinions • Page 111

Not eating crab legs is fucked up. So good.

 

I mean, I did learn in school that shellfish are pretty much giant undersea bugs, but people also eat crickets so I think as long as it’s prepared in a way that tastes good it’s fair game. No worse that eating, I don’t know, testicles, brains, etc of mammals

 

give me all the shellfish

 

some of my favorite foods are shellfish

I couldn't live without scallops

 

When I was younger I used to especially enjoy salmon and bluegill. I thought most crustaceans were decent, with shrimp being my favourite. Never tried caviar or oysters even though I wanted to.

 

I am from Florida so obviously we had tons of early bird family style restaurants that seniors love which I kind of consider the same as diners, there is no real difference beyond aesthetics. Those are also kind of going the way of the Dodo bird too.

 

Hate shellfish? Dope more Crab Rangoon for me.

 

This may sound a bit gatekeeper-y, but I’m of the opinion that if someone plans cheat days, they're not vegan/ vegetarian; they just eat that way most of the time (which is still a hugely positive action)

People have asked me before if I do cheat days, and I feel if I were to do that, I wouldn’t have any business claiming to be something I’m not

What may help for some newer vegans/ vegetarians who feel tempted to eat something that isn’t, is knowing that after a while, you won't really see that stuff as food anymore

 

thank you for answering. I deleted it because it felt myopic and dismissive of the lifestyle and that wasn't my intent. your answer is about what I thought tho

 

No worries! I’ve been vegan for almost 14 years and was frequently involved in animal rights activism for about six of them. If you ever have any questions, feel free to pm me and AMA

 

Eric Adams is the only vegan with cheat days

 

veggie people w cheat days are commonly called flexitarians lol. for the record though i dont think most of us necessarily have a problem w it, any time people reduce their animal product consumption at all is a net positive imo

 

Watched a food video on YouTube the other day where the guy cooked lobsters and it really bummed me out

 

Pilgrims thinking lobsters were garbage bugs is the only thing they got right

 

Yeah I'm cool with everyone being down on shellfish in here, more for me

 

you can make the lobsters go to sleep before you toss them in boiling water or stab them in the head

 

Not giving a lobster an ambien

 

that's what the guy in the video did, put them in the freezer for a bit and then stabbed them. Still hate it!

 

i usually play a loop of ocean wave sounds for all my lobsters to fall asleep to

 

I’ll call my guy

 

Oh you know Frank too? Solid guy.

 

He’s okay.

 

My grandpa used to always want to meet me for lunch at the hospital to get food lol they legit had good food. My sister got a job in their cafeteria for a while and I'd take my nephew up there to eat and see her while she was on shift too
