It's not and you shouldn't.
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

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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."
Can't wait for microwavable breakfast jellyfish.

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.

I heard Mitt Romney was really bad about not eating his vegetables growing up. Probably a picky eater. I doubt he likes jellyfish.
You mean those bioluminescent jellyfish? I'm not sure if I would trust that. I think they're just talking about normal jellyfish.

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

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.

Damn, beat me to it!
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.

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.

He did come out in favor of Gay marriage.
I hate that term a lot.
I thought jellyfish were like 90% water. I'm surprised that there's something left after cooking them
Netflix-exclusive TV shows
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!
Yeah, I hear some fish is pretty good if you have the tastebuds for it. So far I do not
