      I agree 100%; she is just like my mom, and I was raised this way. I grew up being introduced to foods from all over the world, and my folks had us trying foods that in this country are considered weird, gross, etc. They were (mostly, like, 90%) delicious and I'm SO very grateful that we were raised to be very adventurous eaters. I LOVE the joy of being fed something from another culture!

      lol, I had them when I visited spain as a teen, and yep they are delish despite the looks. Also Basque style squid ink soup I had further east, fried baby river eels and monkfish is some more Spanish _'sounds/looks like hell as an ingredient, but taste like heaven'_ seafood. Spanish food is truly one of the greats, up there with French and Italian cuisine, but it is rather different; a lot more pork and seafood focused.

    Hello ,I´m from Portugal and we love barnacles (they are called "Percebes" in portuguese) ,they are truly a delicatessen, we say that they have the taste of the sea inside, very expensive shellfish because it´s super dangerous to harvest them... usually you just eat them, by sucking on them holding the claw, no need to cut them in pieces! Much love from Lisbon , 😘

    Hey! I'm from Galicia and have eaten these my whole life for special occasions at my grandad's!!! You usually boil them with a couple of laurel leaves too, and you really don't need scissors to eat them! You kinda just split it with your hands to remove the outer part and then the 'neck' is stuck to the top part so you just kind of suck the inside part out and chew it in your mouth!
    I don't know if I explained myself too well, but it was really cool seeing you try them! I never really thought they were weird but they are quite a rarity I guess

      ​@@opheliaroninHire do you define what's "meant" to be eaten? People all over the world eat EVERYTHING, and they are sustained, fed, and enjoy those things very much. Different doesn't mean wrong. If you eat beef in India, that's sacrilegious. Same with pork in many places. So, I'm curious how you define this?

    Btw, Galicia (not to be confused with the historical Polish region) is the northwestern region of Spain, which actually has one of the best climates for gooseneck barnacles. They're called percebes there and they are delicious just boiled in saltwater.
    Gathering them is one of the most perilous fishing activities since the best ones are found on the rocks with strong waves and currents. Part of the reason they're so expensive.

    • @lin1130
      @lin1130 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Growing up in New England one of my childhood memories is fried clams with bellies. The necks are chewy and the bellies are creamy. Most places outside of New England only have clam strips. Your talk of steamers reminds me of those yummy clams

    Portuguese here and these are quite common at sea food places around here - and one of my favourites, actually! We usually just grab the claw with one hand and user the other to twist the leathery part at the bottom, then it just slides off.

    I'm from Galicia and they are good, for me they taste like sea in a good way. To eat them yo usually tear that skin by puncturing the skin near the head with the nail and then just tug both parts apart, easy and don't need scisors. xD
    Emmy, I really need you to try "Pulpo a Feira". Is an easy recipe that has only octopus, olive oil, paprika (pimentón) and salt... and everyone who try it, fall in love with this dish.

But as a pescatarian, to limit the amount species we can eat based not only on sentience and similarity of cognitive function, but by an organism's measure of adaptability, limits us to only eating legumes and fruit. Do you only eat legumes and fruits/seeds?
