What kind of food do you not understand how anyone could possibly like?

>pic related

[Anonymous No.6619491]

>caviar
Some con artist back in the day sold fish eggs to some rich idiot for top dollar and now caviar is considered a fine dining food

>street food in shit tier countries
Cooking shows display the "exotic cuisines" of fried scorpions and other various shit foods. It's not exotic, the people are just too poor to eat real food.

Cheap microwave meals are about the only one for me.
I have a mate who basically refuses to eat anything but microwave curry's and the like and claims it's ambrosia. Shits retarded.

He also refuses to drink any ales of decent beers and only drinks either strongbow or carling.

I think it's some sort of misguided attempt at being le manly man, but yeah microwave meals, especially Icelands, are dogshit awful and I wouldn't ever eat it out of choice.

I've heard that actually tastes pretty good and has a pretty unique texture. I want to try it at least once in all honesty.

The one thing I will never understand why people like is shit like shark fin soup or shark fin in general. From everything I've ever heard it's pretty much tasteless and the harvesting methods are pretty fucking stupid and wasteful. Nothing against killing sharks for food, but just cutting off fins and not utilizing the rest of the shark is a god damned waste.

Eggs are good fish or not.
The really expensive stuff is from specific species that are endangered/threatened some places.
Plenty of roe is cheap as you tend to wind up with it just from catching pregnant fish while fishing.

It's literally just a status symbol that rich people and by large rising middle-class chinese eat to show how wealthy and distinguished they are. They'll get it for their whole family just to show off that they can. It's pretty pathetic.

Shark Fin soup taste fucking delicious. It gives the soup a really strong flavor that goes amazing with Chinese spice. I agree that it's cruel the way that sharks are killed, but you really shouldn't talk shit about it if you have never eaten it.

That's cause shark meat is 100 cartilage. I had it when I visit my parents in Thailand and it was just rubbery and lame. The fin is different cause it makes a good soup base or taste good braised

The fin demonstrably adds no flavour. The reason it may taste good is because the stock tastes good. The only "practical" purpose of the fin is to thicken the stock as it cooks and releases a cartileganeous slurry into the liquid. There are cheaper, less cruel, less catastrophically destructive ways to do this than finning sharks, but I wouldn't expect a barbaric, status-obsessed people like the Chinese to care.

raw celery. the taste, texture, and smell make me gag.

[Anonymous No.6623145]

>>6619731
I posted like yesterday about eating one, I was able to get a couple and me and my brother tried them. Totally not what I had expected. They are indeed cooked, I don't think people understand that, but the duck on the inside pulls apart very easily, like the inside of a good fried liver.

Overall the water on the inside tastes of very savoury chicken dumpling soup (American Dumpling), the chicken itself tastes almost like a liver mixed with a chicken tamale, with the texture of a liver. The Yolk tastes like how you would expect but with a chicken dumpling flavour. The White at the bottom of the egg is inedible and is closer to an eraser in texture and should pretty much be thrown away (Read: Not even brown people eat it).

Overall it's great, the texture is not what you'd expect, and I highly recommend it. If you're in Texas, Sari-Sari in San Antonio has them at this time of the year

Besides the actual gross factor I have a newfound disgust of baby birds and maybe birds in general.

Newborn baby birds are fucking disgusting, these must have hatched literally an hour before because they were like...I dunno semi-gelatinous looking.
Long story short, fuck birds and fuck balut.

I swept the whole fucking nest out the 2-story window in a painter's zip up coverall suit.

Thing was made of shit, dead birds and parasites. Stray cats probably ate them.

I probably sound like an edgelord, but whatever, smelled and looked horrific, I even tossed the broom out the window afterwards and haven't gone to get it since.

i've had it hundreds of times due to my grandmother, and it is pretty amazing. Aside from the soup which is really nice, the shark fin add's texture which I find irreplaceable. To be honest I eat it regardless of whether it was cut off of a shark's body or not.

here's a good way to incorporate it into a meal

-get some cream
-on low heat, steep the horseradish in the cream
- if the heat is too high the cream will separate
- make mashed potatoes
- add butter and horseradish cream

serve with seared salmon and a white wine butter sauce
