Prawns. I used to be obsessed with them but now I still like them but only in certain meals and sauces. If they are by themselves I just find them to mild and don't enjoy the texture.
Prawn curry, Prawn cocktail, prawn marie rose sandwich, prawn paella... all that is absolutely divine. Mmm.
But like, say a prawn salad like a prawn cocktail but without any sauce or dressing... like so the main feature is just prawns on their own without a sauce.... so it's the mild relatively nice prawn flavor but it's overwhelembed by the weird super duper prawny texture... it freaks me out and feels ew.
I think it didn't help when I learned that prawns are quite closely related to insects and then I just feel like I'm chewing some sort of beetle when I eat them. Ew.
But the actual flavor is still nice but without a sauce I get way to focused on the texture. Yuck.
If I have prawns with enough tasty sauces I feel like I could train myself to enjoy their texture again.......... maybe. I really need to stop imagining their a bit juicy shelless* beetle when I'm eating them....
*tibs would hate to be that way
