The Menu This Evening...

Went out
drinking with an old student last week and ate some damn weird
stuff.
In order of ascending weirdness:
--fried and battered chicken gristle - I've had this before. Not bad.
--saba, a kind of fish, in a can - the staff took the lid off, added a little soup stock and heated it. A can of tuna was also on the menu.
--dried and then roasted manta ray fin - this was chewy as hell but it went well, as many japanese have assured me since then, with the saké I was drinking.
--semifrozen octopus pieces in a slush wasabi sauce. This was the strangest combination of tastes ever. Chewy and a little crunchy yet slimy. Spicy but very cold. I couldn't wrap my head around it and only managed to eat a few pieces.
What weird food have you eaten recently?
