Jellyfish

I went to China about 20 years ago when it opened to westerners.

I chose a seafood soup. It was tasty but it had this slimy thing in it.
It's texture was awful to me, hated it. No real taste. Asked what it was, Jellyfish in my soup.

So jellyfish once tried (I can tick the box) and never to be experienced again.

First 3 times I found it was tasteless and a strange texture. Didn't like it. The last time it was full of garlic and was really yummy. Conclusion, tasteless meat. Good with spice and garlic. It depends how it is cooked.

had it a few times in pub's that try to be up market.

Found it gamey but really liked it. Not as rich as venison but pretty good. not something I would eat regularly but a nice treat.

I ate it in Melbourne a few times, a few times in Munich in an aussie pub and somewhere else. I think it is more popular overseas than at home.

I wonder if they actually like it or whether they just believe it to be cool and 'trendy'? A very old friend of mine actually brought it to the table of 'normal' Aussies. I don't like gamey or rich meat. I don't even like duck. Too rich.

Can't remember why but the vet put her on a white meat diet. They were about $2 each at the time and tasted much like chicken. I believe snake tastes like chicken too. I would try snake.

Snake

I had snake in China, it does taste like chicken. I was the only westerner to try it that day... wimps.
It came in a soup with thin strips. Really good.

Cooked a snake we killed when on a boy scout survival camp. It was like eating the neck of a chicken.

Not much useful meat on a snake, at least not the Yellow Belly Black we ate that day.

Be aware that the use of spices and hot chillis was once all about hiding the rancid smell and foul taste of un-refrigerated meats during the Middle Ages.

Can't stand turkey, brains, sheeps' eye-balls, pigs' trotters, ox-tail /ox-tongue, bulls' balls, snake, lightly wok-fried toilet insects, snails, frogs' legs, birds-nest-soup, calamari rings, jellied eels, shark fin soup, horse meat, whale meat, dog meat, cat meat, guinea pigs, caviar .... etc.

Likes ... anchovies, dried and salted octopus, mussels, duck eggs, prawns, etc

We used to live half way up Clear Water Bay road in Hong Kong during the early '50's. One day my brothers and I heard this noise of a large crowd approaching from up the road, and then around the corner they all came, chatting excitedly and in a jubilant mood.

In the midst of them, about five men were carrying this enormous python ...

The three of us used to play far up into those hills on our own at least once a fortnight. We could have fitted very nicely into that python's elongated stomach ...
