Food?Food!

Everyone has his or her own palette of taste in food. For instance, a Westerner would view Eastern cuisine something foreign or that is out of their taste range. Likewise, the behavior of an Easterner would be the same as the Westerner mentioned previously before. It is just the matter of being accustomed to it or not. Aside from the food being somewhat foreign, everyone considers his or her pet peeves. A best example of this would be the creepy crawlers. As it is seen in television shows, the contestants look really disgusted when they either plunge or taste into a world full of instincts. Another element that we should consider would be the perception on whether a food is dirty or not. People do not normally eat food that they classify as dirty.

 

Food as everyone defines the term is one of the greatest spices of life. People just enjoy munching on their favorite food which can be crunchy, soft, sweet,sour, spicy, bitter and many other more descriptions.

 

In my opinion, normal food is considered to be something like a custom. For example, the Chinese people have different views on food when it comes to Western food. They say that Western cuisine is unhealthy due to the heavy use of oil. On the contrary, the not so normal food problem can arise from the same situation. In the blog entries, most of the food showcased were from Asia leaving with the assumption of the blogger growing up in a Western atmosphere where Western cuisine is more prevalent.

 

5 Most Weirdest Foods:

 

1. Eating any kind of Insect dish : Locals keep talking about the nutritional contents of these bugs, but when eaten, the splash and the squirming feeling of the bug succumbing to the mouth’s environment just does not appease my mind.

 

1. Ingesting Korean Ginger: A bottle that contains a 3-month preserved ginger. The taste is really alien and has this weird aftertaste that is way beyond my ordinary cup of tea

 

1. Dog dumplings or cat dumplings :  Seriously?!  I don’t see the point on why people cook domesticated housed animals.

 

1. Horse meat: Not the average meat that I can find at the market. Horse meat can be really tough, but I do not know why people enjoy it in spite of finding it really hard to bite and chew.

 

5) Kimchi: Truth is I really abhor spicy foods, but this dish is was beyond that level.
