There is something incongruent for me in how you say it grosses you out but the taste is phenomenal. Im kinda the same way about ham? Its like, if i havent had any in a long time, yes a small taste of it is good, but then the texture starts grossing me out. Ive been eating mostly canned food (fish and chicken), so that kinda protects me from dealing with the usual gross issues. It seems like i get super hungry if i dont get meat protein. Idk. It makes losing weight hard as i am trying to cut carbs.
