As an aspirational, on/off vegetarian this always strikes me as extremely funny. People (particularly the "omg BACON" mega-carnivore types) get sooooo precious about certain types of meat being "gross" or "weird", and it often has a particularly racialized dimension (a lot of the COVID-19 stuff made this way worse, IMO). To me it's like, meat is meat; so long as there's no infectious organisms in it then it's really all the same stuff and I'm going to eat it. Anyone who gets too picky about what kind is acceptable to eat kind of needs to get over themselves (IMHO). Sure the texture and flavor changes, and I can respect people having some preference there, but if you're going to wimp out over eating sweetbreads or horse then at the very least you have to drop the "I eat MEAT, sorry if that ///OFFENDS/// you" schtick.
