Shrimps are water bugs and really good. In my mind there is a primal disconnect between water bugs and land bugs, so I’m alright with it. Avocado are actually rare in certain parts of the world so to some they are like jewels. Not to me — I like them and all, but a hipster with dry toast would stab you in the neck
Water roaches like crab and lobster are the bomb. Shrimp is something I loved as a kid, but has gradually become harder to stomach. I'll eat it if I have to, but never go out of my way for it. Hell I won't eat grits because of texture, and that's sacrilege in these here parts. If I can deal with angry hicks taking offense at my hatred of grits, I can handle an avacado-loving hipster.
I’m very pro seafood. I like fresh water food too...dude, I’m that guy that orders snails.
And grits are awesome. I remember trying them for the first time and thought, oh “it’s not intestines.” Something about the word grits like an animal gritting...and then it’s like oh it’s just corn meal
