Culture influences preferences for food texture

Western cultures tend to avoid slimy and sticky foods. This may stem from the traditional perceptions related to food hygiene. For example, the word "slimy" in English is commonly used to describe something dirty or disgusting.
In contrast, Asian cuisine embraces these textures. For instance, marinated jellyfish salad is a popular dish in Vietnam that has a slimy texture, but it is favored by many people because of its delicious flavor and crispy bite.
Chinese sticky rice (Lo Mai Fan) is another example of a dish with a sticky texture. It is made from glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and sugar. When eaten, Lo Mai Fan sticks together to form a soft, round mass.
The Japanese even have a specific word for slimy and sticky texture: "neba-neba". Foods with neba-neba texture often include fermented soybeans, seaweed, and raw egg.

Crispy and slimy are somewhat opposite. You might mean spicy?

Marinated jellyfish salad generally has a slimy texture, but the jellyfish itself has a uniquely crisp texture, which many people find appealing.
I like marinated jellyfish salad. I think it’s delicious and a little spicy. Highly recommended!
