What in Storms name are THESE on my food??? Are they BUGS? Are they actually putting bugs on my food??

(not actually bugs, just shrimp, she doesn't know that)

I've eaten some questionable food, but never.... BUGS.

[Are shrimps bugs???? discuss.]

They're bugs.

And I'm fine, thanks, just wondering why people eat bugs. Sea bugs. Whatever they are.

[empyrean_mirror]

They aren't related to insects.

And they taste fine? It's not great to be picky about your food.

[truthspeaker]

I've had little difficulty with anything else beyond spicy food, but I draw the line at something that could feasibly be a bug. I'd rather eat a plate of the spicy food I had when I arrived here.

You do know that seafood is going to be a regular staple of the diets here, given we're expected to be at sea, yes?

You may not have much of a choice. It's best not to keep thinking of them as bugs.

Food from the sea is VASTLY different here than it is in my own world. The fish I'm fine with. The squid... thing too. But these... no. I'd rather starve.

[empyrean_mirror]

Miss, that is...

Would it be different if you couldn't see them?

[truthspeaker]

Probably not. Most of the food here is new to me anyway.
