Fun fact... lobster and crayfish were so disdained once that it was literally only used to feed prisoners.

The practice was to grind the whole thing up into a paste, but yes it's all about perception and preparation.

That said I'd be drawing my vegetarian card if someone offered me Beetle Bisque

Most of what we eat today is either fresh or frozen, not mushy decomposing meat.
