Okay, so I know that you are all curious about the kinds of food we have been eating. While Elizabeth seems to have had some of the craziest with things like Goose Foot, we all have had our fair share of new things. The top picture is pig ears. Its in little strips and includes very little of what I would call meat and the rest is cartilage I guess. Then the middle photo is of eel soup. it still has the skin on it and you are supposed to eat the skin as well. The meat was very tender and delicious and I usually dont even like eel. The bottom dish is sea cucumber. I really enjoyed this dish. To prepare it they said that you put it in a pressure cooker for a long time. its kind of like really think jello but with a nice flavor. and those are little bird eggs in the dish with the sea cucumber. We have been adventurous, you all would be proud.
Oh my goodness! You all are so adventurous! That eel creeps me out just by looking at the photo!
ReplyDeleteI think there's something moving in that 3rd dish.
ReplyDeleteI knew there was gonna be something crazy going on in that middle picture! Those polka dots were just too cute to be tame. But well done. I'm proud of you for eating it, you know, except for whatever made Elizabeth sick.
ReplyDeleteYou are way more adventurous than I would have been!
ReplyDeleteDoes Sea Cucumber and eel taste like chicken?
ReplyDeletenope, doesnt taste like chicken, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for the sea cucumber, but I think that was a texture issue more than taste. A bit thick for me. I did not, by the way, eat the eel skin. The lady next to me didn't because she said she doesn't like it, so I took that as permission to peel it off and leave it in the bowl.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I said it. I chickened out.
I'm getting a little more adventurous these days; I was kind of gun-shy on Monday but I think the Japanese dinner last night really got me past the Unfortunate Stomach Incident.
