And I have the same reaction I have to most of these types of things - I wonder what it tastes like, and wish I could try it.

I've never understood why these things trigger such uproar. It's not like it's poison or some sort of bodily secretion or something - it's just a somewhat unusual but entirely edible ingredient. And it could be good. So what's the problem?

elaborate performative outrage is just fun for its own sake sometimes idk

I've suspected it's largely performative. I still don't really get it though.
