I won't eat most seafood, but the most repulsive to me would be either jellied eels or squid. The texture of them looks fking horrid.

(edit) I also won't eat meat that's still on the bone, because all my life I have had a major paranoia about swallowing a piece of bone and choking on it.

the bigger insect I tried (locust or cicada?) didn't taste as good and it was big enough that when you bit into it you could distinguish legs, wings etc which wasn't altogether pleasant.

Not tried insects but always thought they’d be like skinny prawns that can’t swim. I’d try them.

I would have said Sea Cucumber but on a recent trip to China I eventually succumbed and tried it - was in a Michelin starred restaurant which somehow persuaded me that it might not be that bad.

I really can't say I liked it.


Definitely not going to try jellied eels, though. The thought of it is repulsive.
Looks like a peanut riddled turd in gravy.
