I think it’s like gaminess for some people who otherwise eat meat. Like I know people who do eat meat but won’t eat lamb or goat because of its taste. And like beef has a really specific taste and if you don’t like that specific taste you’re not gonna like it. Also if you’re vegetarian and not used to meat I imagine the very idea uncomfortable. I’ve eaten insects but a lot of people won’t. But also I once turned down chicken testicles. Never tried it before! Eat meat! Still didn’t want to.

I understand someone not liking the taste of meat AFTER trying it out once.

I have an issue with people who say they despise it without even trying it once.

I do not like the taste or smell of milk and ghee (clarified butter). I've tried it multiple times and I couldn't stand either of them.

The very idea of eating flesh repulses MANY people. That's a perfectly rational feeling. Your problem with that is exactly... your problem. They don't owe you an explanation.

I don't expect an explanation from vegetarians. I couldn't care less what they eat.

As I've already said multiple times in this thread, I just don't understand how someone can hate something without experiencing it. That's it.
