I'm much better with firm and meaty than I am with soft and squishy-juicy. I wouldn't eat a damn grub unless I was starving, and I'd probably have to be near-death type starving. Just the though of it brings up my gorge.
I guess you won't be eating many Oysters !! Or Steak Tartare....
For me it's really sweet things. The thought of marshmallows or treacle makes me feel queasy !!
I also hate chewy/rubbery textures. I can eat snails or calamari/octopus but just don't see the point of them. Tastes like rubber to me.
My least favourite food is Chinese food and I attribute it to the fact that the meat is usually chewy. I was told once by a Chinese friend that many South-East Asian people actually enjoy chewy food.
I like my meat to be soft and tender. I eat my beef , venison almost raw and love Sashimi for example. Chewy to me just takes the pleasure away from eating. Marmot was one of the worst thing I ever ate, sinewy and really tough. Almost impossible to swallow. Give me grubs anytime !
You misunderstood her post. You're assuming they would know there to be an inspection in advance and not random, but thats okay, even if they should know and have a spotless restaurant for the sake of inspection, eventually they'll return to there filthy habits. Thats when using your judgement comes in, if the restrooms filthy ect, I'm not not eating there, are you?
Honestly, I do not usually visit the restrooms in most restaurants and certainly wouldn't use it as an indicator as to whether or not to eat there. Any busy night could take a clean bathroom to a mess- restaurant staff's main focus is to prepare and serve food promptly, not many places can maintain a maintenance/janitorial staff.
And I understood her post. What I mean by filthy the next night is this:
$h!t happens. Equipment breaks down, plumbing backs up, places get busy and maybe the usual level of care isn't taken. Could be a one time thing. Doesn't mean the place is always nasty. And customers are never notified about these things, so to assume that because the health inspector came in on a regular day, when things are progressing as they regularly do- that doesn't mean it can't change.
I love raw bacon. Whenever I cook bacon, I always pop a bite of it into my mouth before cooking.
Did I ever tell you about my plumber in Chile? I had been waiting weeks for him, and one day I met him on the bus, and asked him about my shower, and he slapped his head and said "Ach---haven't I been there yet? First thing tomorrow." Well, tomorrow he showed up, at 4 pm, drunk, with a bucket of barnacles he had just scraped off the rocks, and showed us how to eat them alive, and promised to be back the next day to repair my shower.

Can't you get some horrible disease from eating raw pork......ewww just ewwwwwwww raw bacon that is just so sickening.
Absolutely correct. Apologies. My Italian Grand-Father used to make his own ( and Prosciutto too ) .
I suppose I think of it as raw because most people I know will only eat it cooked. Being cured for roughly only two weeks makes it for most people unpalatable unless cooked ( Unlike Prosciutto) . Curing is still not cooking so though I used the wrong word I am sure most people knew what I meant.
So I guess I better express myself better and say I enjoy eating Pancetta uncooked as opposed to raw.
I have been eating raw meat all my life ( since a small child when I was served Steak Tartare , always one of my favourite ) and the only time I ever got sick was with an over-cooked piece of steak. Ewwwwwwwwww gross, just Ewwwwwwwww ! It was disgusting and made me quite ill. Never again.
I am more worried about the terrible effects that processed foods and chemicals in our environment , cleaning products etc... have on our health than a little raw bacon. To be honest the average modern home is saturated with carcinogenic and dangerous chemicals and most of us could not care less. I guess my "eeeeeewwwwwww gross" is reserved for those.
