FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[DCAllAfrican]

You never eaten a whole duck?
Or pig?
Or a fish?

Looking for the point of connection........

 

[SC kid]

Looking for an answer.......

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Looking for an answer.......

If the question presented a similar situation, I would answer.

But I am not seeing how eating those things matters if it has already been revealed that the VISUAL of balut is what causes folks to turn their noses up.

The conversation should be about VISUALS.

 

[SC kid]

How does balut differ from a Peking duck.

Or a whole pig.

A raw oyster, visually, is disgusting, but nobody cares about that.

A lobster even.

Pecking Duck
Roasted Pig

Those items have skin that can be browned to give it a level of presentation that balut is unable to achieve.

Oysters don't look that appealing either but nobody here has said they look appealing.

Again, what is your argument here?

If it is balut looks JUST AS good/bad as roasted big or duck, then we can just dead the convo.

 

[SC kid]

It doesn't have to look appealing to taste good.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

It doesn't have to look appealing to taste good.

Not once did I say or imply that.

Try another argument

 

[Bert.]

bro why are you so offended

no offense, im not eating a basically live baby duck/chicken or whatever inside of an egg

the only way I would ever be offended over a food item is If someone told me pizza was disgusting. other than that, y'all can eat and do whatever you want.

 

[Mark Antony]

Balut is a rough one for me try and i'm adventurous.

 

[chucktwnsfinest]

My intro to Balut, doesn’t look like something I want to try. Sardines are cool though. It’s the whole thought of swallowing feathers

 

[DCAllAfrican]

coworker says she has to eat balut with her eyes closed...

Wild that someone would eat something they can't even look at.

Any grown adult. She seems like a girly girl

 

[SC kid]

Not once did I say or imply that.

Try another argument

Do you eat oysters?
Or chitlins?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Do you eat oysters?
Or chitlins?

Irrelevant. (Even though I already answered one of those in here indirectly)

Not once did I imply there is a direct correlation to taste and presentation.

There is no direct correlation.

Something can LOOK terrible and taste heavenly

 

[SC kid]

so you never have eaten things that I have mentioned but still have an opinion on them.

That's funny.

 

[Black Lotus]

Wild that someone would eat something they can't even look at.

my thoughts exactly

 

[DCAllAfrican]

the argument of it being the same as eating
a whole cooked chicken or pig is just wild.

The VISUAL is closer to this than to peking duck or roasted pig

 

[DCAllAfrican]

so you never have eaten things that I have mentioned but still have an opinion.

That's funny.

If you took that from what I said, more power to you dude

 

[you go boy]

balut

i remember this cute girl had a crush on my friend... i was like ayo man pursue that... he was like nah son im good she eats balut... im like you crazy

 

[SC kid]

If you took that from what I said, more power to you dude

I would never make a comment on something you ate that I have not tried.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I don't understand the disgust for balut.

You do, you just won't accept it.

Plenty of folks have explained WHY.

You refuse to accept it

Again, we are only speaking on visuals. If you can't understand that, more power to you

You refuse to accept it

Plenty of folks ain't me.


Kinda like well done steak
You gotta learn

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Plenty of folks ain't me.

You win.

You don't understand why people are visually turned off by a slimy duck in an eggshell.

I tap out.

You got it

 

[SC kid]

Do u have any idea what people eat in other countries
