13thfallenangelI hate to say this but Westernised people (especially those that grew up in cities and suburbia Hell) are just plain squeamish.
Case in point? Reyhan freaking out over roasted duck when we were cutting through Northbridge. Although admittedly I could understand Lily's horror over the whole horse meat affair (horses just don't do it for me. I want to ride the darn things, not eat them.) but believe me, other meat are pretty much fair game with certain exceptions.
Of course, that might have to do with the fact that the maid sliced open the neck of a cockerel and bled it out while I was watching when I was 3 years old (Thestrals anyone? Does it include animal death?) and the fact that I'm pretty much willing to eat rabbit meat (haven't yet) despite the fact that I had kept a white rabbit named Rover for over 2 years until he was huge and nice and bloody well fat. Lazy bastard lol.
These people have been living with their skinned, cut and quartered meat for far too long. Believe me. Ask one of their kids how a chicken looks like and their more likely to recognised a slab of frozen meat as the poor clucking thing instead. By the way, catching chickens is a fun hobby and best for kids to do. They get to run around in maddening circles after a fast moving noisy creature (which seems to be the goal of most toys nowadays) in a yard. And scream at the same time. Multi purpose poultry. I still actually like trying to catch a chicken, but only in private. And the backache after a while. Ow. But good silly fun.
I need to get out and eat more. To date, wild boar, deer meat aka venison, mousedeer aka venison, monitor lizard (which I say, does NOT taste like chicken. Bloody cultural perspectives). Haven't gotten around to snake yet. That's jungle food. Or sago worms.
I'd stick to good old Sabah Bak Kut Teh for now.
