I couldn’t eat it either but it has nothing to do with safety or taste. The texture is what I’d have a problem with.
Same here. The flavor is fantastic, but the texture makes me gag.
It's a shockingly good texture. Way better than it sounds.
Is it the texture of finely cut uncooked meat, because any texture like that and I immediately become nauseous.
It’s very psychosomatic for me. Happens with chicken too if it’s a woody piece. I can temp it to know it’s cooked, I can look at it and see it’s cooked but as soon as I feel that abnormal texture I’m out.
"it's not the taste, it's the consistency"
That’s where the combination comes in. The texture contrast trait with little toast points makes it entirely different
I can guarantee you that, for me, the contrasting texture would only make the meat texture stand out more. That’s why it’s psychosomatic; it’s a physical response to a mental sensation.
Yeah, I suppose everyone is different. I do have some texture issues where sometimes the contrast makes all the difference
