I know, but I want your guesses. One hint: I'm sure many of you have eaten this.

A close friend of mine lives in Japan and is very fond of Sushi. He comes back to the US at least once a year and almost always finds a way to drag me to a Sushi bar every time he's in CONUS. If you don't know Sushi I recommend that you enjoy the sake and beer, try the Yellow Fin Tuna, shrimp too (no brainer), even the eels are good, but when this item shows up skip it:

Uni, it's the egg sacks from the inside of the Sea Urchin. Bitter, slimy, and not good in an all around way (kind of like what I imagine semi-solid poop would taste like).

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I once accidentally ordered uni (meant to order unagi - freshwater eel, one of my faves). Otis has described it perfectly - it's like bitter yellow snot going down and I still consider it the finest display of my will power that I didn't immediately up chuck it right back onto the plate. It was foul and disgusting. I'd eat Rocky Mountain Oysters over that any day.

Not sure how monkey brains compares, but I wasn't brave enough to try that while in India (they supposedly serve it in roadside food stands) and I know a few people who like haggis who won't dare go near uni.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
