hellkitty I just got back from Christmas with my dad and the food's put away, the mail's been dealt with, and Tem, aka THE MEEZE is curled up next to me and I don't feel like moving so let's have some ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
thefridayfive !
1. What is the most adventurous food you've ever tried?
This is tough because if it's available I tend to eat it, because I have this 'welp, at least I can say I tried it' thing. I have had gator and rattlesnake--those probably top the list. I have eaten sweetbreads and brains, and horse, as well, so...
2. What is the most adventurous food you'd be willing to try?
I'll tell you what I WON'T try, since that's shorter since I've already eaten a lot of the things.
Eyes. I will not eat eyes. Also on the NOPE list would be placenta or testicles. Just. No. I do have SOME limits.
3. Would you have a problem eating dog meat and why or why not?
Please don't hate me but I did live in Korea for a few years and yes we ate dog. I will be honest: the first time I ate it, I was unaware it was dog because I'd ordered chicken. I thought it was just...dark meat chicken? when I saw it? and then dark meat that didn't really taste like chicken???? Yeah it was dog.
The restaurant had a tendency (oh this story gets worse) to scrape up roadkill and serve it.
THAT SAID as I've gotten older I'm absolutely 100% against Yulin, the dog meat festival, dog meat in general. So I have done it, it's not actually that bad, taste wise, but yeah. I prefer my doggos running around.
4. For the most part, do you consider your diet to be balanced?
I'm neurodivergent so my diet is GARBAGE esp bc there's a part of me that's like "healthy? You dumb bitch you don't deserve to eat healthy. Eat more processed crap!" I'll eat peanutbutter crackers rather than scramble an egg.
What's weird is I did a Whole30 (elimination diet) a few years ago so I know exactly what I shouldn't be eating (peanut butter crackers) and exactly how it affects me and how much BETTER I feel when I don't eat garbage. I just...need to do it. New Year's Resolution, perchance?
5. Which is more appealing: being a vegetarian for the rest of your life or being a strict carnivore for the rest of your life?
I want to compromise and say ovo vegetarian. I do need some animal proteins and there are amino acids and such that are easy to get from meat but harder (if not downright impossible) to get from a vegetarian diet without supplementation. So ya know if it came to it I'd buy my own chickens and have eggs and let the ladies live out their natural lives even after they're done laying because I'm soft like that even though chickens are basically dinosaurs, right?

Baby Narcan, however, thinks ALL food is Baby Narcan food.
