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

*Preserved crawfish and lobster, which tastes like shit because it's been transported in a barrel for many days.

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

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
