@mandi195 -- for religious or allergy reasons? If it's just a lack of opportunity... I will fly you out to the West Coast and show you the (shellfish) world. King crab? Oysters? Razor clams battered in butter and Ritz crackers? (Fat free, obv...) I would (and before pregnant, sometimes did) eat shellfish 5x a day, given the opportunity-- probably not recommended. Jumbo scallops?!?
My mind is boggled. I'm passionate about my seafood. I guess it comes from growing up on the coast.
It's more of a mix of aversion to the texture of what I have tried (shrimp), the flavor, the smell, the fact that they're bottom feeders, and I've convinced most people who know me that I'm allergic, simply to avoid the whole "I know you didn't like xyz, but you HAVE to try this, it's amazing" Just not a fan.
@FrecklesInside as a teen/early twenty-something, people were constantly trying to get me high. I never understood why it was so important for them to get me to smoke. It was a conscious decision my entire life to not do drugs.
I drink occasionally (obvs not during pregnancy) but sometimes I'll go months without a drink. People don't understand how I can go out and not drink. Years ago I was always accused of being pregnant. But people finally got it that I just don't need to drink. Which later, actually made hiding my pregnancies easier!
@EmpireRecords24 Deal... and I'm only agreeing to this because it would be impossible to not trust someone who clearly adores Empire Records as much as I do.
I will make sure to update you when this is done... please no death.
