I don't understand how torturing animals adds to their culinary appeal.

R4, in the Middle Ages, it was considered that an animal that died under extreme fear or anxiety tasted better. So they would purposefully terrorize animals before killing them.

It’s probably a load of nonsense, but even if it’s true, nope from me.

This was a scene in Black Box, the new Soderbergh film.

Many decades ago there was a film/documentary Mondo Cane with examples of how "bizarre" the world and its cultures are. It had a scene in Hong Kong restaurant where the delicacy was a live monkey, pinned into the middle of the table, where they open its skull and ate its brains while it was still alive. Horrendous.

I am a vegan for life...
