Food Fear Factor

I'm happy to say I've grown out of a "picky eater" phase which plagued more than a couple decades of my life; I think living in Japan has put a lid on that altogether.

I've eaten plenty o' interesting things here, but this goes in the top 10. Along with octopus (straight up, with suction cups tentacles and all), asparagus mousse, and a variety of gelatinous deserts.

The jellyfish tasted kind of salty - and were slippery, crunchy and jelly all at the same time. Because food, after all, is not just about taste, but so much about texture.
