Texture. Think about how people pay top dollar for fillet mignon. Any fan of steak will tell you they're not paying for flavor, because if they wanted that they'd get a Rib Eye. They're paying for buttery texture they can cut with a fork (almost). Sea cucumber plays into a Chinese aesthetic of food texture. If you don't get it you don't get it, but like fillet mignon it's more about texture than flavor.

>crab shabu shabu
How does that even work

>>11691426
explain swallows nest then

>>11691437
crab legs with the shell already removed so all you need to do is to dip it in your shabu

>>11691426
so its like enjoying stewed beef tendon (but seafood?)

>>11691455
i'd buy that desu

>>11691445
mumbo jumbo about how it makes your skin more radiant

in the past only the chinest royals and extremely wealthy astrocrats could even afford it, it was and still is limited in supply and often dangerous to collect by hand

>>11691403
raw fish

>>11691948
raw fish is delicious and good ones rival a steak

>>11691423
Frenchfag here. Most of our stuff outside of grand cru wines/champagnes are extremely affordable. Just because your government puts a big ass tax on some cheese/wines doesn't mean we don't get them for cheap.

>>11691403
tastes like nothing

>>11691987
it tastes like being the top fucking apex alpha predator of planet earth and sharks can suck our dicks

>>11692029
Not that anon but
> apex alpha predator of planet earth
>sharks being even close to proving this
I get what you're trying to prove but sharks are fucking small time. Sharks kill like 10 people a year. That's less than fucking dogs anon.

>>11692049
when ou would live in the ocean or sharks would live in your home the numbers would be different

>>11692307
Yeah but they fucking dont you drunk bastard.
Fucking mosquitos kill humans more than anything else.

>>11691403
I ate them from a street tent in Korea where they pulled them live from the tank, sliced them up and you dipped them in a golchujang sauce. You could still feel the nerves making it quiver when you put it in your mouth.

>>11691423
What kind of expensive Korean food are you eating? Vast majority of Korean food is very affordable.

>>11691403
>buying premium seafood at a department store (Isetan)

Of course it's insanely expensive.

>>11692573
How was it?

>>11691403
>rubbery at worst, gelatinous at best
That texture is the whole point as to why the Chinese sperg out over sea cucumber, and many other foods like Swallow's nest,shark's fin, bear paws, etc. They love that chewy gelatinous texture. That's the whole point of those foods.

Imagine being so dumb you don't understand simple supply and demand

>>11691455
holy fuck i want this.

caviar

ive never eaten actual caviar but i imagine it to be similar to salmon/tobiko roe--salty and fishy

likes whats the big deal? is it worth $600 per 100g? (top end)

>>11692648
I wouldn't describe caviar as fishy. Should taste like the ocean.

>>11692029
At least kill that fucking shark instead of letting it slowly starve to death on the sea ocean or getting eaten alive. Meat isn't the issue, it's notto behave like a filthy insectoid.

>>11692844
who cares dude, sharks dont have feelings

>>11693003
But they feel pain like any other animal. Don't be a dirty chink without empathy. Kill to eat and survive, not out of ignorance.

>>11693026
>a fish, not even a mammal
>feel pain
>like any other animal
>implying millions of different organisms with wildly varying nervous systems all feel pain to the same degree

good god you are a real soy you know

>>11693044
Any animal able to move will feel pain, otherwise it would never be able to move away from things which are dangerous. This is the only reason we have pain receptors. They don'T have to feel it like we do, but if it wouldn't be unpleasant at least, there would be no insentive to move away from it and prevent further contact with said pain source.

And even if they wouldn't feel anything, there is no reason to give them a slow death (as they at least will feel hunger) if you already cutting the shark up. Slicing up it's throath isn't that much of a hassle.

And I'm far away from that as a paleo fag primary living of meat and animal products. It's simply empathy and respect for taking a life. But shitskins don't eve care for human suffering of their own kind, so I'm not the least surprised.

>>11693093

did you say a prayer for the chicken nuggets you ate the other day?

>>11693101
I don't eat fast food, but a discussion with a brainlet thirdie really is a waste of time.

Asian food culture values rubbery texture in a similar way to French and American culture valuing rich and creamy textures (like heavy sauces, desserts, and tender meats). These two values basically contradict each other, though Asians tend to like creamy more than Westerners like chewy. Texture is often more important than flavor in Asian foods, so things like shark, echinoderms, turtle, chicken feet (and balut, small whole birds, etc) are more precious as delicacies. You don't value these textures so you don't see why they would pay so much for them. It's also worth noting that 100g of dried cucumber is actually quite a good amount, because they are practially all water, they are hand harvested by divers (like sea scallops) and are not eaten in large quantities since they are more of an experience than an actual protein or main course.

>>11693109
>you're not a bleeding heart treehugger like me so you must be a 3rd worlder

so did you say a prayer for the steak then?

You literally kill thousands of insects just by walking on the grass. Did you recoil in pain with every step you took? Why does a shark demand your "respect" more than an insect would? are not all lives and pain equal, according to you?

too many th*rdies and am*ricans on /ck/

>>11693116
I don't go out of my way killing insects and if I must I do it quickly. It's like going on a hunt and only shooting for fun, not even bothering to kill or end the animal properly. You're barely human, if you don't understand empathy and trying to ease necessary suffering. As I said, I don't mind killing sharks for food, I mind beeing a filthy creatura breed into an insectoid by pol pot and similar catastrophes spreading suffering due to low IQ and psychopathy.

I woulnd't even let a nigga suffer unnecessary when a clean bullet does the job.

>>11693126
>implying europe isnt 3rd world in 2019

>>11693093
Sensory nerves =/= pain receptors.
Being able to sense touch and reflexively withdrawing from it does not indicate pain. Even larger animals like lobster have been more or less shown to not experience pain in the way we think of it. They essentially dont have the brain power to waste on detecting varied levels of pain, so a gentle/medium touch feels the same as a solid hit- they both result in defensive action. Things like jellyfish are able to detect touch but effectively have no further nervous system at all. Even single-celled organisms (such as amoeba) show sensation, but cannot possibly feel what you imagine as pain because they dont actually feel anything- they just "do."

>>11693129
look at this Avatar treehugging bullshit lmao, you probably coo to the birds and whisper to plants

>creatura
dont you have monkey soups to eat hue

>>11693137
As I said, that's no reason to let them suffer in other ways if it can easily be prevented by just killing it. I rather err on the side of caution, just like I wouldn't want to be sliced up and left to rott by a species above us, just because compared to them we might be nothing more than lower conscience lifeforms.

There is a reason why "do to others as you would have them do to you" is a golden rule around the world.

I don't really see a reason to argue against human killing methods.

>>11693129
insects literally cannot feel pain.

>>11693144
You sound awful lot like a nigger not beeing to comprehend the moral rules of the human proper.

>>11692602
Chewy, with a faint taste of the sea, but frankly it was really just a vehicle for the sauce which was the primary flavor. Also it wasn't particularly expensive but this was back in the nineties.

I'm happy for you, my little amerigoblin.

>>11693137
this.

>>11693166
not a real response. "id rather pretend im right than chance being wrong, which i am." the species of fish that ive read about respond to stimulus as stimulus but not as pain triggers. im pretty sure theyre missing a part of the brain that mammals have, id put my money on the insula i think.

>>11693316
you think so lowly of yourself you actually think a fish is your peer

and funny you call me a goblin when you are a spanish speaking hue yourself. I'm pure blood but i cant speak the same about you.

>>11693336
I don't need pretend that I am right. We still know shit about oursselves and think we know all about everything. Even today many physicians claim that babies don't feel pain when they cut off their dick. We only know that they don't feel like we do, that doesn't mean that other systems don't result an a similar stimulus. And there simply isn't a reason to not kill humane. To even having to argue about just a basic concept of compassion towards lower lifeforms shows you to not be on the same mental step.

It comes from the same relativism which allowed for partiall abortion without anasthesia of the fetus because "just a bunch of cells" and letting retarded living abortees scream in a bucket till they die. You don't have to be against either procedure to understand that it is wrong to cause even the possibility of sufferng due to ignorance.

>>11693347
I don't think a fish is my peer, I am eating fish nearly daily and kill them mostly myself. But again, you simply can't fathom this concept of compassion - especially to loewr life forms not able to compete with us.

>le pure blood
>you're a beaner

>>11693371
lmao im not a beaner, try again. You probably only guessed that because you are one yourself. Go cry over your fish, we americans have actual business to run.

i know you dont have the IQ but you neednt repeat yourself

maybe all your IQ went towards "compassion" and "empathy"

>>11693477

Empathy is linked to IQ, that's why chinks need to fake IQ tests.

Sure if you're getting a low quality cut of filet mignon, but if you're spending more you should really get a something with great texture that also tastes great.
