Synthbuttrange posted:ha. HA I say to you who think corn mushroom is the worst. You've not had the worst mushroom til your mom forces you to have a chinese herbal soup topped with cordyceps infected caterpillars. Hahaha, nope. Nope. No fuckin' way. That said I wonder if any place around me has huitlacoche, it sounds good. Corn mushrooms yes, bug-controlling and mummifying mushrooms, no.

Huitlacoche's fine and I'd eat it again given the chance. I just thought it was kinda bland and inoffensive, so you're not really missing out on much if you don't try it.

The thing about herbal soups is they're only for their traditional chinese medicine effects of balancing your uh... I forget the term. Your inner humours? Flavour comes in a distant distant second so frequently these dont taste like anything except strong weird herbs. I'd drink them so my mom would stop hassling me to drink the souuuup.

As mentioned earlier, its pretty much like biting onto a chicken or fish spine. No meat or flavour, so I guess this is one more of those traditional chinese herbal things.

I had natto at Abeno in London yesterday because I was wondering if I would still like it compared to ten years ago. Whilst I can only describe the texture as phlegmy flu saliva, the taste was still pretty good. Pickled daikon helped.

I've learned that some people actually eat chicken bones. Apparently it's a thing in some parts of Asia, but I only heard it from a bourgeois scum white guy who said that's why he eats the bones.

I don't know about chicken bones themselves, but I've had chicken from some restaurants that have had delicious marrow, which I go out of my way to eat. Bone marrow is some good eats, if you can find the good stuff.

I've eaten chicken bones that've been stewed for a really long time so they're pretty much soft and crumbly. Get your daily calcium!

Scarodactyl posted:As far as I can tell this is a tall tale that started being repeated unironically. The way it used to be is people would pick up the ones that washed up on the beach (so, likely already dead and rotting), boil a bunch in a big pot and then smash them all open with a hammer and eat the undifferentiated overcooked rotten mush. Needless to say that's a terrible way to eat, but washed up rotten seabug is free so it was a poverty desperation food. Turns out if you get them live or reasonably fresh and cook them nicely they taste pretty loving good.

That could be part of the reason, but I find it more likely that it's because unlike most food it's hard to farm, so it's still mostly caught wild, which means it's relatively hard to get, which means it's expensive, which means it's automatically high class despite being a gross spider that lives in the sea.

It was my understanding that lobster, especially in the east coast areas that are famous for lobster, used to have a hell of a lot more lobster out in the wild than there are today. I could see lobsters being caught by accident quite regularly if that was the case.

Yeah many places are irreversibly overfished, I went to high school in Maryland where I was taught that the Chesapeake Bay has .5% of the oysters it did 200 years ago and nowadays something like 90% of the blue crab served in Maryland restaurants are from Indonesia
