i went to this asian market today to buy some fresh fish. this place was pretty crazy. they had *huge* fish tanks with enormous fish swimming around. some of these fish were over 2 feet long! the whole place totally stunk of seafood. of course, i was prepared to see all the different types of fish, crabs, shrimp etc etc… but what i totally didnt expect was turtles. yeah, turtles for sale, only 5 bux each.
the turtles in that photo are alive by the way. still struggling about and climbing all over each other. it was a realy sad site. it’s so weird to think of people eating a turtle, especially i’ve known a bunch of people who have kept them as pets. i guess it’s just a cultural thing and realy… what’s to say that eating a lobster is fine but a turtle isn’t? it’s trippy how ingrained our cultural perspectives are. i keep wondering, would i ever eat dog? all sort of cultures out there do, and i keep wondering what i would do if i was offered some. maybe i’d try a bite just to see what it’s like. and the other question is, do different breeds of dogs taste different? how does a poodle taste compared to a german shepherd?
one of the turtles was able to escape the cardboard prison that he was in. unfortunately, he wasn’t smart enough to know that he was in just as much danger sitting next to the box as he was in when he was still inside. poor little guy…
