X-rated food???

How can food be x-rated? Do they resemble various parts of the human anatomy?

Ah, I've likened them to be x-rated due to abuses inflicted unto the hapless victims by their human captors. Two of these include the stingray (ikan pari) and the ubiquitious squid or sotong. There are probably more along the line.

An acquaintance of mine was a crew member of a fishing trawler during his teenage days. He swore that he saw his fellow crew members sexually abuse the ikan pari (female only) that they landed. From that day onward, he stopped eating ikan pari – whether as ikan bakar or in asam curry; no matter how delicious they looked.

Another friend of mine said she will not eat sotong or squid outside her own home. She will only buy sotong with their heads intact – ie. attached firmly to the thorax and cook them at home. This is because she heard some horror stories about fishermen tearing off the heads of suitably sized squid, extricate the innards and then performing unmentionable acts on the thorax pod. The said abused squids were then thrown back into the pile to be sold to wholesalers.

Ugghh! What vile acts of debauchery! It is bad enough abusing the poor creatures under the guise of catching them for food; what more passing them to unknowing buyers down the road after the disgusting perversions were done.
