And they we might eat raw horse.

And then we might eat raw tuna.

And then we might eat raw whale.

And then we might eat raw sea urchin.

And then our reality may have been rocked because it tasted good.

I totally agree on the culture side, but it is just me personally.. I get overly squeemish with certain foods..

if I eat a piece of chicken and look hard enough at a black vein running through the flesh, it puts me right off.. It's a mind thing with me..

If I was to sit in a Japanese restaurant watching people eat raw meats, I would actually envy them wishing I could do the same..

My partner has eaten dog! She's Korean and she ate it when she was a child.. She said her mother cooked it..

That's hard for me to understand because she is a real dog lover..
