Controversial Cover of Newsweek: "Are You Ready to Eat Jellyfish?" #1

I mean, c'mon, I've eaten jellyfish so many times at Chinese restaurants, that shit is delicious. I can see why it might be unusual for the American palate, but is that really any less disgusting than eating unfertilized chicken periods?

i hate all seafood, except once I had a swordfish wrap I could stomach, so I'm going to assume jellyfish tastes just as disgusting as every seafood I've ever eaten.

I can't even take the SMELL of seafood, it makes me sick to my stomach

All the cover stories sound hilarious. GG, Newsweek.

Jellyfish could very well be tasty. I'd love to try it one day.

I'm oddly the exact same way. It's a shame, I feel like I'm missing out on an entire food group, so to speak.

Damn right it's controversial. The headline pretty much insinuate jellyfish are not "normal" food and deserve special treatment. Furthermore, by stereotypes, it tags the label to the Asian community to shows that Asian are different from true patriotic white America.
