Not sure if I could eat it either. I usually have an open mind about food and if someone else will eat it, I'll give it a try but it has to look and smell appealing.

Since we're on the topic of food, and there was mention of some weird eats, I have one word for you all: Balut

I've never tried it, nor will I ever try it.

Balut e-juice?

ETA: For as bizarre a Balut sounds, if given a choice, I would pick it over casu marzu.

If we are ever stranded on a desert island, and all we had to eat was dead embryos or maggots... I'll take the maggots, you get the dead embryo... kk Thx.

I know what you mean. I don't even know what a caterpillar roll is. And tempura sushi? What's that?

Tempura is a batter. Basically flour & water, but usually with a touch of corn starch, sometimes with seasonings or other stuff too. You've eaten it more times than you'd imagine. It's that golden brown 'breading' found on tons and tons of deep fried food.

wow.. and i thought sauerkraut was bad! well it is, but not THAT bad. :blink:

Have you ever had real kraut or just the stuff that's sold in stores that they call kraut?

I believe she was expressing the oxymoronic idea of tempura sushi. And her remark about a caterpillar roll was a continuation of my comment about the Westernization of sushi. We have something here called a Moondog roll that would confound a trained sushi chef.

No no no... it's in CHEESE. You can cook cheese. That restaurant owner was just trying to freak the food taster out with some grand standing. I'm sure people cook the cheese first, because if it's very popular, the people who enjoyed it would die out eventually through natural selection, since digestion does not always kill the maggots:).
