Are we suggesting that Scorpion would taste similar to lobster?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

You'll have to ask Reptile.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They’re different, scorpion isn’t as sweet as lobster meat.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I think I read somewhere that tarantulas taste like shrimp

Shrimps are pretty rich

Counterpoint: lobster is delicious

Why are you okay eating cow meat and not house cat meat?

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

House cats: overwhelming over weight so mostly fat. And not the type that pigs and cows are. Feral cats: riddled with diseases and malnourished.

Cows: mostly muscle and with a marbling of fat.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Wow so what youre saying is that youre okay eating one but not the other because one tastes better?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Frankly, if you're looking at the morality of eating meat, this is as good a stance as any.

I don't eat either of them

Why are you making assumptions about what I'm ok with?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we'd see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we'd probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can't discount the role that tradition plays in that. Because mutton and goat would have replaced beef decades ago.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 21 hours ago

All the cultures that do raise those as their primary meats prefer beef.

You're actually just interested in novelty.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

I wish mutton and goat were more available near me. Lamb can be had but I want bigger cuts for stew or curry.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, I can't fit a cow in my house, and it's not generally cute and cuddly, so it must die instead. But seriously though, are cats even delicious?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

cow [... i]s not generally cute and cuddly

You couldn't be further from the truth.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fiiiiine, they are cute. And maaaaaybe cuddly, even though they tend to smell if they've been outside all day. ^And^ ^they^ ^are^ ^delicious.^

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

even though they tend to smell if they've been outside all day.

So do cats and dogs.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, but I keep my cats inside, so they smell really nice. Too nice... maybe I do want to eat them after all.

[–] anti_antidote@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Technically modern insects are descended from shrimp and lobster, so this is bugs good vs dry bugs bad
