(As a former kid).. any meat or seafood product that looks completely different in its unprepared form. I loved, absolutely loved fried clams as a kid. The moment I saw the unprepared version, it made me sick to my stomach and I refused to eat fried clams for several years. I’m over the gruesome appearance, now. And, yes, I know fried clams (or fried anything) isn’t healthy any way!
