Eating Animals that still look like animals

[Dio]

I was inspired by the post of @Ninja in the foods you dislike thread. Can't remember the exact quote but I took from it that he wouldn't eat a fish with the head on because it looked like the animal. This got me thinking because I actually know a few people like this and wanted to find out how many fellow forum dwellers felt this way.

Whole fish or Hog roasts are common meals that involve seeing the entire cooked animal before you. Personally it has never bothered me but still I am curious what others have to say about it.

It's ironic, I love a good seared piece of salmon, but I can't pick at its open belly while the head is on the table because it sort of freaks me out lol.

We have roasted whole pigs before, and it's amazingly delicious! However I'll just grab whatever meat I want and just eat at a table. Perhaps it's just me giving the animal any shred of dignity it has left by not eating their body "in front" of them.

I like meat. Whatever form it comes in is ok. Just give me meat.

I don't feel the slightest bit of remorse.

I've definitely eaten fish and Kalamari before with the head on. I've also had to gut a whole chicken I bought at the store, though that was with no head, feathers, etc. I'm sure it would be grosser seeing the head of a mammal, like a pig or somethin', but I bet I could still eat it.

I am fine with it. Not much regret or anything but you know.
