The revolting aspect of eating certain foods does vary from culture to culture. For instance, in Vietnam, dog meat is very commonly eaten. In the Western World, we are shocked with the prospect of using "Man's best friend" as food.

Conversely, people in India (Hindus) are sickened by the prospect of Americans eating the beef of their sacred cows.

While many of us have come to appreciate lobster as a delicacy, the lobster itself is quite scary to look at, especially when it is still alive and kicking with those rubber bands wrapped around their claws.

Not commonly. And mostly in the north. I did once (in two years) see a live dog delivery truck in South Korea.
