"It tastes like chicken,"
Our hostess said of chewy
Strips of jellyfish.

I smiled, nodded,
Reached for double portions of
Bean curd with snap peas.

OH MAN, SARAH J, do you realize how traumatized I am after reading your moniker for my beloved Japanese yamaimo- mountain yam? do you not realize how much hypnosis I'm going to have to go through- to forget that awful name???(winkwink)
But seriously, the most awful thing i ever tasted (note- did NOT eat) was natto, an acquired taste, even in its native Japan. I have to change topic; i'm feeling nauseous already.

That's so funny! I really liked natto when I had it in okinomiyaki! But I can't stand yamaimo. Guess we're trading tastes!
