  - oh HEY - I wonder if that's what it WAS -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 20:00 2
    - doesn't sound like it. whale blubber is kind of like super-greasy chewing gum. -- nm - mafic Jul 9, 20:03 1
      - yeah, the gray chinese dim sum stuff I had was more like meat jam. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:06

  - I think that's the thing I ate. Afterwards, we had to go to a Vietnamese bakery. I had to eat something baked - loosilu Jul 9, 20:00 7
    - I BET you it's whale blubber -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 20:01 6
      - my guess is some kind of fermented soy bean derivative. -- nm - mafic Jul 9, 20:06 4
        
        I've seen balls of pastry with grey goo inside it at dim sum places, can't bring myself to even contemplate eating it. - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:08 2
        
        don't. trust me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:08 1
        
        but it was a sesame pastry (golden) on the outside -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:12
        
        oh no, it was meat. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:07
      - I bet whale blubber would have been far better. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:01
- most any meat. including the grouse, bear, deer, elk, and alligator i've tried. - kare Jul 9, 19:57
- I've tried various types of sushi several times and I just don't like it at al. - Callisto Jul 9, 19:56 10
  - Sushi is just awesome. Love it love it love it. Salmon is my favorite. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 20:03 1
    - yellowfin tuna. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:08
  - I can do sushi if it's fish. Anything else is questionable. No squid for me, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:01 7
    - I actually like octopus sushi more than (most) fish sushi ... - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:03 6
      - ack!!! I cannot stand octopus. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:09 5
        
        My sushi place gets baby octopus for me. It's one of my favorite foods -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 20:11 4

        He's helping win the fight against psychic cephalopods ... he's a god-damned american hero! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:14 1

    - In that case, I recommend Balut. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 20:01
    - me too, although I'd have to get liquored up to try geoduck. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:49 6
      - isn't that supposed to be sliced/diced/minced? -- nm - 'lia Jul 9, 19:50 1
        
        god, I hope so. But I know what it looks like. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:51
