Things I won't Eat

With the origins of the COVID-19 virus outbreak being said to have began with the consumption of bats from China's wet markets, it is important for me to clarify specific animals that I decline to consider food animals.

These include (but are not limited to):
 

I am what I consider to be an 'adventurous' eater. I eat many things that others in my family and among my acquaintances cannot tolerate ... say sushi, sashimi, various tartar dishes and so forth.

However, these are prepared by individuals I know, trust, and consider to be domain experts in the field of food preparation and as such I feel safe eating these things even if they are outside the mainstream tastes for your typical insipid inbred southerner.

Even yankees shun much of these delacacies as well.

So before you offer me a nice plate of frog legs with lemon and drawn butter consider those things others may not consume with the relish upon which you may enjoy them.

No ... I'm not a 'food prude' and no I am not one to shun things over some exotic bouquet nor flavor pallet they might employ.

I simply don't eat them because I choose not to do so. My reasons primarily surround health aspects but I also recognize that the animal itself may be something for which I could never cook and eat.

Say a doggie or a kitty.
