It's true... explain the last time you were a hypocrite...

I make fun of how nasty seafood looks all the time and don't know why anyone would willingly put insects in their mouths yet I will eat it on occasion to satisfy a general hunger if there's not enough meats on the table.

I poke fun at you culinary cowards all the time but, I still feed you.

Got mad at my roommate because he's a slob, but I'm just as bad as he is about cleaning up.

Exciting right?

Putting down smokers for being hooked and wasting money, but I'm hooked on caffeine and can't stop drinking coffee.

to be honest, I really don't like the idea of pulling all those tiny legs off the shrimp or peeling the shell off, complete with eyeballs, then sticking it in my mouth whole. I will eat it if it's already done for me, and covered in sauce, and do it quickly with my eyes and thoughts closed. Lobster... I pull that sh!t out of its shell and imagine the rubber is just like any other meat.

None of this makes it any less disgusting though. Oh and crab... well, I wouldn't touch those things with YOUR spoon.

You're still a culinary coward. Ever seen cattle slaughtered or poultry processed? I've never figured out why so many folks prefer not to know where their food comes from. Maybe that's why fast food is so popular, no relation to anything that grows.

A slab of meat is different than seeing an insect on a plate. It's disgusting, but I'm not a "coward" because I'm not afraid to eat it. It's still DISGUSTING. Hell, I eat those thousand year old duck eggs with the green slime willingly (still disgusting).

Sounds like you have other food issues. Tell me, do you like your food not to touch, avoid certain consistencies or, need your toast cut into triangles before eating? More food knowledge means less "disgusting" and less culinary cowardliness. Eating something on a dare simply means you can overcome your culinary hangups if you want to. 'Course, you have to want to.

Since I don't want to repeat the same thing 3 times, I'll just ask this... are you as defensive about everything else you don't agree with? Your alliteration is noted so you can drop it. The thing I have trouble understanding is - because you're some kind of food savant, you're better educated on what others may view as visually disgusting? I thought presentation was a big part of it? My hangup obviously has nothing to do with willingness to eat it... dare or need... read first post.

Back to the topic of hypocrisy... which category of ignorance and unwillingness to try do you fall under? Or are you one of these other perfect people?

I used to be the same way with insects. But after gulping down a few I got over it and actually starting popping crickets like peanuts with beer.
