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

It's not and you shouldn't.

[Ratrat]

You've had it too? Well it's not so much the taste but how it feels in your mouth. That's what bugs me about it personally.

I find octopus much worse. Somewhere between goo and rubber.

I actually like octopus so this makes me feel a lot better about trying jellyfish :x

[BorkBork]

I have a couple bags in the fridge. Good stuff with some sesame oil, soy sauce, and chilies.

Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of jellyfish to be immoral? Antoninus: No, master. Marcus Licinius Crassus: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it? Antoninus: Yes, master. Marcus Licinius Crassus: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals. Antoninus: It could be argued so, master. Marcus Licinius Crassus: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both jellyfish and oysters."

Amazing post

[Junie12]

I will be willing to eat a jellyfish.

[Fancy Corndog]

Did they really put that on the cover...?

I mean, wow. I didn't even know jellyfish were edible.

[Rentahamster]

A decent sample of jellyfish, properly prepared, is awesome.

Octopus is yummy too.

Jellyfish is amazing. Why are you all writing it off instantly when we all eat chicken period for breakfast?

[Aruarian Reflection]

Jellyfish is quite crunchy and tasty. It's easy to tell the uncultured and ignorant in here

This went right over my head first time I saw it.

Jellyfish is fine. Honestly, if you told me it was some sort of noodle I'd believe you. I like the cabbage and stuff they usually serve on the bottom too.

It's reminds me of how Americans are so afraid to see that their food was alive once. Like I brought a friend to a Chinese restaurant and the fact that the chicken came with the head terrified the piss out of him.

[TheSeks]

I'd try it, but that presentation isn't doing it any favors.

Octopus wasn't too bad or at least I think it was baby Octopus when I tried it. But you gotta turn your mind off from nagging "OMG <insert unconventional food here>! EW!!!!!" to stomach these things the first few times, I wager.

Also for the record: While I'll eat eggs, I don't really care to.

Yeah, see, that's the presentation thing I'm talking about. Just why would you serve the chicken head along with the rest of the chicken?

[Neuromancer]

No Newsweek I'm not.

[Kitsunebaby]

I'll give it a try but I'm pretty particular about food textures. Some things that taste amazing have a totally off-putting texture and I just can't stomach them.

[eudaemonic]

What I've had of jellyfish isn't too shabby.

[narcosis219]

I'll give it a try but I'm pretty particular about food textures.

It's slippery and crunchy in a soft way.

[eudaemonic]

I ate a raw sea urchin the spines were still squiggling it was like yellow goo

This is the ONLY way to eat urchin.

[A Pretty Panda]

And why is this a headline? Are there dozens of legit Chinese restaraunts opening up somewhere?

The way the headline reads sounds like its going to be shoved down people's throats or something.

Sharkfin soup is godlike.

[shidoshi]

Love to eat sea food with tentacles ... but never tasted jellyfish ... wonders how muhc it tastes like jelly.... But ..

How I can tell I'm not quite awake yet: I read this as "I love to eat sea food with testicles..."

shidoshi: "Excuse me?
Platy: "You know, like octopus? Testicles?"
shidoshi: "Ohhhh. Tentacles. N-T. Big Difference."

[rpmurphy]

Jellyfish is awesome, very easy to eat. Sometimes restaurants make it too salty though.

Now sea cucumbers on the other hand... I had one experience with it and it was not good. I'd like to hear if there are good sea cucumber dishes that are not offensive.

[Hobs]

Jelly fish sliced up into strips mixed with some sesame oil and sesame seeds with a bit of vinegar is the pretty awesome.

[Big-E]

It is always so funny hearing how people haven't tried x food. Living in a multicultural city stuff like this is just common. I have a co worker who didn't try sushi until they were 21 and didn't have fish until they were 16.

[Evlar]

Can't wait for microwavable breakfast jellyfish.

GAF surprises me sometimes. I thought for sure this thread would be about Obama and Newsweek having a really fucking stupid headline after I saw the picture.

Instead, it went ignored. Nice.

I will never, ever eat a jelly fish. Gross.

The funny thing is that you will and you won't even know. Someone will take you to Chinese one day and you will see what looks like noodles and you will try them and like them.

Jellyfish is sneaky (and tasty!) like that.

Great now you have me afraid to eat chinese =D.

I heard Mitt Romney was really bad about not eating his vegetables growing up. Probably a picky eater. I doubt he likes jellyfish.

Rainbow halo, even?

You mean those bioluminescent jellyfish? I'm not sure if I would trust that. I think they're just talking about normal jellyfish.

[captmcblack]

This thread is S rank.

That cover is...wow. Rainbow halo, even?

[Angry Puppy]

I fucking love jellyfish

[eudaemonic]

I heard he's okay with being a vegetarian but he won't support vegans because people need meat in their diet.

[Fancy Corndog]

I don't know, I guess it's ok for girls to go vegan but it's better for men to have a traditional diet IMO.

I guess the jellyfish thing is getting a little played out though. What's the deal with Netflix going Hollywood?

Its only an urban myth that pissing on a jellyfish thread is an effective treatment.

[catfish]

The title is ridiculous, but the actual article itself is pretty incredible: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newswee...evolution.html

And it was then that I realized he was both: a cold, steely, ruthless, calculating politician who nonetheless wanted to do the right thing in the end.

always been the vibe I get from Obama.

[Seth C]

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.

I'm the same way. I have at times visited my mom's house and complained that it smelled like fish only to be told she cooked some the previous day. Sometimes I lose my appetite from smelling seafood from a nearby table in a restaurant. It's frustrating.

[Stet]

Jellyfish is great if you like rubber bands.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

He did come out in favor of Gay marriage.

I hate that term a lot.

[Degen]

I thought jellyfish were like 90% water. I'm surprised that there's something left after cooking them

Jellyfish is fucking tasty as hell!

Best kept Chinese secret.

[Amir0x]

Wow really? I can't imagine not liking seafood. Garlic shrimp....mmmmm....*drool*

Yeah. I mean, every so often now people will be like you have to try this or that seafood, and every single time I come away sick to my stomach. This one time I was offered some Tilapia, and I vomited all over the floor after one bite.

My theory is it has something to do with the smell of preparation, or in seafood places. I can't take that fucking fishy smell. When someone is cooking seafood I can always automatically tell even before I'm told, and that is usually enough to make my stomach turn.

Other than Tuna Fish with mayo, which I've been able to keep down, and that one time I had a swordfish wrap I could stomach, I've never been able to enjoy seafood. My sister buys that shrimp platter and starts eating them, but to me that's the worst. The smell, fuckin' hell, and then the way they feel..all slimy and slick and shit. Fuck it, no way!

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.

Yeah, I hear some fish is pretty good if you have the tastebuds for it. So far I do not :(
