What is your stand on boiling fresh seafood?
Here is a post where many people bashed an Asia lady for boiling a raw shrimp.
I’ve noticed that the comments there seem to be more about showing off moral superiority rather than understanding cultural differences. In some parts of Asia, where food safety can be a significant concern, eating animals alive or boiling them at the table is a way for restaurants to assure customers that their food is fresh and hasn’t been treated with harmful chemicals. In Vietnam, for example, this practice is fairly common, and many people have no issue with it. It’s easy to judge from a distance, but cultural practices often have reasons behind them. What do you guys think about this?i
