In Japan I tried raw chicken. My body almost threw it up from pure conditioning from knowing what it was, but it just tasted like most other raw meats, nothing too special to warrant that response. I definitely had to gush it down with some drink. I'm from Spain and chicken has to be 100% well cooked, absolutely no exceptions. I didn't compare it until now, but actually I'd bet it'd be at a worse-level than eating cooked dog meat. We also don't eat raw pork over here, cow seems to be the only one that is acceptable with low degrees of processing or even raw, and even then it's a bit rare (pun intended :)).

- narahs 4y agoI had some raw horse meat in Japan some years ago. It was definitely an... interesting experience. Both knowing what animal it was (horses are generally considered a "pet" or treasured working animal in my culture) and knowing that it was raw and untreated. I was filmed eating it, and you can see me making a brave face.
- lexandstuff 4y agoHorse meat is a staple at sushi restaurants across Tokyo.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoWhy would you possibly want to eat raw chicken? It has an abysmal smell when raw and goodness me, the Spanish (and everyone else) have it right. I'd refuse raw chicken and I try pretty much everything.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoPresumably for the same reason you'd want to eat any other meat raw. There's no advantage to doing it, but people do it anyway.
- rwmj 4y agoI ate raw liver (liver sashi) at a restaurant in Japan a few years back. Fun fact: This is now banned: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/forbidden-beef-japan-takes-liver-sashimi-menu/326292/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/fo...
