Eating Whale Meat In Japan

[ozkai]

I've heard that's it's a popular food in Japan, and also Korea.

Have you tasted in and what are your thought's?

On another note, my X-Wife is from Kyushu, and she has eaten horse meat which is also eaten in that area..

I haven't tried it. I'd like to say I'd never eat it but honestly if I was starving and whale meat was the only thing available to me, well...omnomnom

I've tried it. Raw.

It takes a bit to get used to the texture, but it's soft and succulent, and has a lot of flavor.

While I'm not exactly terribly bothered by whaling, I don't think it's something I'd eat often. I've only ordered it three times in the past year, and the servings aren't very large - about the same size as your average plate of sashimi.

Do you feel pity for a cow? Cows are more friendly.

I am only angry that the animal is in extinction but I wouldn't really care if they killed whales (if there were tons of them).

Where's the "I haven't tried it, but I'd love to try it"?

I'm not all that fully bothered about whaling. What I'm really bothered is how the people react to it, and to what extremes they go to.

I mostly like Japan and am intrigued by the ideas that come out of it.

This is one of the few things I absolutely hate about Japan.

But surely the extremities of the people against whaling, is more disgusting than killing near-extinct whales?
