What's something you tried for its own sake and will never eat again? What is something you would try just to say that you have?
I've had "real" equatorial Pacific sea urchin and it was actually pretty good. But I'm not gonna eat it again.
What's something you tried for its own sake and will never eat again?
why not if it was good?
It tastes like mushrooms and cum
I'm not OP he admitted he liked it, I didn't like it at all
your preference i guess, i'd eat it straight from the sea on the beach as a kid and i love it, havent had it in years tho
Don't know. It was good but not something I'd routinely eat. I guess another way to describe this is meme food - I only ate it because I wanted to have had eaten it.
To me the flavor was like a mix of sturgeon caviar, oysters, and sea salt. But the texture is smooth and buttery so it's unlike any of those things.
cockroach, ate it as a bet. didn't taste very good but I got 20 bucks.
>What's something you tried for its own sake and will never eat again?
Sake. Tried several rare, traditional and special reserve ones. Not my thing at all.
>What is something you would try just to say that you have?
Nothing. I don't try because I can say I had it. I try because I want to know what it is. I'm not 14.
Ate live maggots for a bet. Totally meh.

That stuff is insanely delicious. I've purchased whole live sea urchins to make sushi with. Good lord is it good.
Slice of freshly shucked scallop, sea urchin piece or two, a little very high quality soy sauce, and a tiny dab of yuzu kosho served on a spoon. Incredibly delicious.

Huh? I didn't mention anything about Japan, or trannies. Sounds like you're the one with the obsession.
Do you like to suck cocks?
kinda tastes like a seawater flavoured mango slurry, or like fishy custard
name/tripfagging has been scientifically proven to the be the most homosexual thing in the universe, followed by actual homosexuality.
imagine... being the best at something with such little effort. the mad men gave me this power
I had this shit, and hated it. Ate one, didn't eat the other. I can do pretty much any raw fish, even fucking squids and shit, but this shit was fucking terrible.
Texture or taste? If it tasted bad then it probably wasn't fresh. Fresh sea urchin tastes like a really nice ocean flavor + a touch of iodine. Nothing pungent or off putting.
Aren't these colloquially known as the "cum urchins"?
Oysters were horrible. Also disliked the texture of plenty organ meats.
Tastelet.
Hakarl. Never ever again.
maybe i had a mild one bc i didnt mind it at all. the brennevit probably helped too
>french onion soup
I was shilled so hard how great this is even went out of my way to get proper ingredients, followed Bruno's recipe..
It was just way too oniony for my taste.
I don't know what I was expecting, but I was so disappointed.
you're supposed to use a 2:1 french to onion ratio
It’s super simple to make at the house. Don’t go overboard with the Dijon mustard. Add Worcestershire. Salt and black peppercorn. Use a little flour to get the sautéed shit on the side of the pan first. Not hard at all. Then salt, black peppercorn, and garlic on the bread. It’s a good way to eat for cheap. You can feed your whole family for a day on about $10 and it’s great for winter!
Red wine vinegar too. The rest is just onions and broth. If I’m forgetting anything chime in and help this fella enjoy this simple soup.
I'm honestly getting tired of French onion soup
>always way too hot to eat
>takes forever to cool off because the dish was in the oven and it has a solid cheese 'cap' that doesn't let heat escape
>by the time it's cool enough the entrees have been served
>cheese is now solid and not melty
>a big piece of soggy bread, exactly what I want in my soup
>9 times out of 10 they over salt the shit out of it
>waiter keeps trying to take it away
>have to explain its still too hot and look like a pussy
>onions are usually undercooked and sliced so they slip and slide off the spoon
Actually yeah fuck French onion soup
Those are all features. You woman
Shark fin soup. Actually I feel a little
bit guilty for eating it, but whatever. It was...okay. Just a pretty standard fishy soup.
Lutefisk. It wasnt good or bad. I'd probably eat it again if it was in front of me but I'd never seek it out.
I would like to try that weird south American sea creature rock thing that's just a bunch of sphincters and valves and shit. It looks good even though I'm sure it's not. I found a picture of it. Piure
Looks like a goatse made primarily of snot
Hola Chileindio
I ate those as a kid on a regular basis, they are astingent and have a very strong flavor.
this is tough
generally everything I've tried I'd happily eat again if not for it's rarity or meme status
probably the french potato and cheese dish that uses the most sweaty foot in socks melty cheese possible. I like stinky cheeses but that was too much
a highly rated and critically acclaimed lobster roll and a crab roll at a popular seafood/cajun restaurant.
the small lobster roll alone was $35, and the crab roll maybe $30. I hate seafood but once I had tried crab dip and it was the best thing I've ever tasted. I've had lobster on another occasion as well with a lot of butter and I enjoyed it quite a lot.
A good friend told me about this cajun place, and I would salivate just looking at the menu, I finally tried these things for lunch one day and it was the most horrible fishy tasting shit I ever had in my life. I texted them that I'd have to toss it out and they refused to believe me so i sent the webm related. i admitted my taste buds might just be shit cause everyone loves seafood or sushi on the west and east coast, I just happen to detest it.
Personally I love good seafood, but find that overly fishy/bad seafood to be some of the most off putting food in general.
wife picked up lobster rolls from some place nearby. rolls made with mostly claw meat. taste like chewing on flavorless rubber.
>shellfish
>tastes fishy
what are you retarded?
Shell fish is not supposed to taste fishy. Especially not lobster. I could see crab being describe that way.
McRib, I ate one because of the hype, it was okay, but I'd rather just get a burger.
that looks either real or the tongue of some kind of animal
Ecuadorian jungle worms. They didn't really taste terrible, kind of nutty, but the texture was gross.
i would like to eat horse
Grapefruit. This bitter abomination tastes like neither grapes nor the giant juicy orange it resembles. Never before or since have I felt so completely gaslit by a plant.
The worst part is it smells heavenly, and then you taste it and it's dog shit
you're supposed to peel the skin and only eat the pulp. or at least people eat it that way. never seen anyone eat it like an orange.
I ate one of these like a orange as a kid every morning. put a bit of sugar on it though.
Almond butter. It only makes sense if you have a peanut allergy
Beef tartare. I'll take a well prepared and cooked beef dish any day over this bullshit.
All of the meme steaks, dry aged, wagyu, reverse seared, sous vide, dryagedwagyusousvidereverseseared with a pan sauce, none of them beat a regular ribeye on a grill, with salt and pepper and nothing else.
Tastelet.
Tastelet.
You know I'm right, you just want to justify the money you've wasted on meme steaks.
I raised a steer and dry aged a full strip loin. Best beef I've ever had. You are wrong, or your tastes are poor.
>I invented the universe to get a perfectly "from scratch" steak and it's literally the best.
>what's bias?
Get a steer, feed it grass for a few years, have it slaughtered and hung for 3 weeks. Then dry age a bone in strip loin for 30 days. Cook it up. Enjoy the best steak you've ever had.
It's not difficult. Try it for yourself and you'll see how much of a retard you are.
Exactly the same as tomatoes. You haven't had a good one unless it's been homegrown.
I prefer reverse searing a steak. It's easier too so fuck it
lobster
tried lupini beans for the first time today after hearing old italian people go gaga over then for half my life.
they weren't bad, but they weren't good either.
if i'm really craving the taste of crunchy brine, i'll just eat olives or pickles, it's approximately the same experience, but you don't need to individually peel the inedible bean skin off them.
>they weren't bad, but they weren't good either.
You're supposed to eat them as a beer snack.
Also, you can eat the skins, but they'll give you enough gas to fill up a Dacia Sandero's donut tank.
I paid a college girl $500 to shit in my mouth
Shark. It tasted like shit.
Pufferfish. It has no flavor and it's rubbery like an overcooked lobster. Absolute waste of money.
>raw horse sashimi (tastes like beefier salmon sashimi)
>whale (very oily, salted ham)
>escargot (like not-oceany, tougher and meatier clams)
>buffalo (beef but slightly sweet taste)
>alligator (like chicken, as they say)
>natto (like extremely extremely stringy melted cheese with small beans texture, tastes fermented but not really that strong)
Natto is delicious but you have to add the tare sauce and hot mustard they include with it or it just tastes like bland beans. I spread it on toast with kewpie and furikake, and it makes it a lot more palatable.
Dragonfruit. Waited a few days to let it ripen more and gave it a whirl. It wasn't unpleasant but my description of the taste is "cucumber that has the tiniest hint of kiwi". incredibly over-rated. I don't know why anyone bothers with this when they could grow pineapple or mango instead.
Jackfruit. It's just inferior mango.
Try cherimoya. It is actually delicious.
Supposedly there are people who grow it here but I don't remember ever seeing them. Maybe next time I go to one of the big specific fruit & veg shops I'll have a look.
Starfruit. Dried my mouth out for some reason and tasted just okay.
>Dried my mouth out for some reason
Unripe. Starfruit is best when it starts getting some brown on the ridges.
Jellyfish. Its slimey and crunchy at the same time. Just tastes like the ocean.
