exotic food

If it is still moving, then I definitely won't eat it. (* with one exception, not really digesting something )

Oh, I'm quite sure you did, and I didn't intend any criticism. It's just that I'm a part-time science geek (in a former life, I have a degree in biochemistry), and the population at large, it seems to me, generally misunderstands science to an astonishing degree. Every now and then I just like to clarify something that could be taken the wrong way. (Plus the intense desire to brain every half-wit journalist who uses the phrase "gravity-defying" when talking about astronauts in free-fall.)

Because "gravity-defying" is one of the most mind-numbingly idiotic things anyone can say. You can't defy gravity. Astronauts in orbit are reacting perfectly to gravity - that's why they're in orbit and not shooting off in a straight line out of the solar system.

OIC. Because we see them floating around we never think it's gravity that's keeping them in orbit. Good point.
@Others, sorry for straying off topic guys.

Which one? Sea food or vegetables? :D

I'm quite picky about food

It must look edible and it must look nice - if that's not the case I won't eat it!

For example: Only sea food I eat is fish (no prawns, no calamari, no shrimps, no caviar - because they don't look nice to me)

But what if they are already cooked and presented in a scrumptious way? :D

Shrimps and prawns are actually tasty. I've tried one at a Hotel with oyster sauce and spinach. Yummy. :)

@Ideru: What is caviar again? Is that bagoong in our country? :D
