I'm turned off by raw meat. I can tolerate seeing raw steak, but I prefer ground beef, because it doesn't really look like "flesh". I feel ill if I see it bleeding, but I manage.
Raw fish doesn't bother me, as long as it's cleaned (i.e. salmon steaks or tilapia fillets in a supermarket's meat department). I could never "gut" a fish, tho; I almost get sick just seeing it on TV!
What I can't seem to get over is my disgust at raw POULTRY. If I see a whole raw turkey with skin, I can't stand it! I don't even like skinless boneless chicken breasts, since I still have to TOUCH them. I'm grateful I don't have to remove the skin & bones (I don't think I could!), but I still don't like touching the meat. It feels so bad that I'm considering wearing gloves. I also don't like how it LOOKS.
Am I alone in feeling this way? I don't WANT to, but I wonder if it's too late? I think the prob is that as a child, I wasn't exposed enough to this stuff, so I never got over the "gross factor".
