Would you eat Camel? (5 Viewers)

[Omie Jay]

And endangered animals. Don't eat those either. Dugongs are endangered.

I may be persuaded to try invertebrates one day.

that is somewhere i'd never go.

Be warned that when people say witchetty grubs taste like chicken they are completely and entirely lying. I've only heard good things about chocolate dipped ants, though.

So is something being endangered or of your own species the only barriers for you? You should know that this is causing an internal CLASH for me since I kind of associate your eating habits with rich fat men with guns, especially if they're called Buck.

And offal. I don't do offal (never mind the tripe my Japanese host family gave me, all smiling, and I forced down my throat).

Tripe is disgusting.

Would you eat a living animal you had raised yourself? Would you eat a chimp (if they weren't endangered)?

Kwayera: current curio of the hour.

Living animal I'd raised myself: well, I guess I have to add some more provisos to my list - I don't eat mammalian predators either (disease risk), so that rules out my cat and dog. But livestock? Sure, if I raise it knowing that it was being raised to be food (and thus denying myself the chance to form emotional attachments).

Chimp: no. Disease risk. Eating bushmeat like chimps and other primates/monkeys is how SIV became HIV.

I already have eaten camel.... years ago though.

If it was that or nothing I'd still do it.

Oh for sure. In survival situations you eat anything and everything.

So your standard budgerigar/canary/cockatiel/lovebird would be full steam ahead then?

If it wasn't endangered and I hadn't really formed an emotional attachment to it as a pet, and it'd been raised for food? Sure. Why not. Much the same as quail, I'd assume.

 

[Jeee]

I eat offal teehee, chicken heart and lamb intestines.

I'm installing an alarm system for my bird cages now.

I have problems forming any substantial logical disagreement with that position but I must admit that I find it shocking and a tad frightening. Has any of this ever freaked you out just a little bit?

during masterchef today (i mean yesterday) my uncle told me that when i was young he used to cook lamb brain for my grandfather and i'd eat it too.

:S

You were as naive as George and his siblings.

Your birds have been raised as pets. I wouldn't eat a pet, as I have stated. People raise chickens as pets; I wouldn't eat them. A chook raised for food? No problem. No emotional attachments involved.

i honestly cannot remember, i must've been 4.

All bets are off in a survival situation. Would eat pets if I had to.

I see.

I've never encountered a person quite like you. 'Sif not go for fetus dumpling though.

/disappointed.

I do believe I also recall saying that all bets are off in a survival situation. I'd even eat offal, as that's where most of the nutrients are.

 

[Uncle]

pat chickens, they lay eggs, run around and shit on the grass like fertiliser.
very economical creatures according to a lecturer.

Theres not many foods i wouldnt try, as long as its an actual dish, and people somewhere eat it. Cannibalism or primates[too close for comfort] i wouldnt unless i had to for survival, but if i was travelling, i would still give gross stuff a try like balut and even something really disgusting like lutefisk because hey, how often does an opportunity like that come along in your life.

So fetus dumpling is out[and btw it makes me think if this old school picture that was on rotten.com years ago, some guy cut up a dead baby and kind of boiled it as a soup type thing...yeah i wouldnt try that]
