the psychology of food
in particular, eating cute little animals like bunnies. 
it's partly cultural right? if we lived in wartime Europe, we'd eat anything. yet today i couldn't eat horse. i have a mental block about eating rabbit, horse, deer, squirrel, shark, reptiles and others.
are we spoiled? people have eaten everything out there! bugs. cats. dogs. living cobras. you name it. ick.
and like others, if i had to kill that cute lamb myself, i would not have lamb chops. but i like them!
you have any food taboos?

Yes, many! The only thing that kept me from auditioning for Survivor was the things I would have had to eat. The back of my throat is closing up just thinking about it.

from the link:
recipe Crispy Testicles.
Ingredients
1 Large red bell pepper, stemmed and seeded
1 Onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 Clove garlic, germ removed, thinly sliced
1 Sprig thyme
1⁄4 Cup Water
2 Tablespoon Olive oil
1 Tablespoon Capers, rinsed
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Lamb testicles, prepared
2 Tablespoon Flour
1 Egg, beaten
2⁄3 Cup Fresh bread crumbs
2 Tablespoon Unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon Chopped flat-leaf parsley
Preparation
Step 1:
Cut the pepper into quarters and then slice thinly from the shorter side. Place the pepper, onion, garlic, thyme, water, and olive oil in a frying pan. Cover, place over medium heat, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables soften. Remove the thyme, stir in the capers, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2:
Cut the testicles into 1/2-inch slices and season with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish, pour the egg into another shallow dish, and place the bread crumbs in a third shallow dish. Toss the slices of testicles in the flour, then in the egg, and then coat well with the bread crumbs.
Step 3:
In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. When it begins to foam, add the breaded testicles and cook until golden, about 4 minutes on each side.
Step 4:
Meanwhile, reheat the onion and pepper mixture, add the parsley, and spoon onto a warm serving plate. Top with the crisp golden testicle slices and serve.

I can't answer that, we've only ever used stainless steel. Well, not "we" actually, I've never been part of that. Nooooo.
