Awww...you weren't supposed to tell him Chinisimo!

It would've been priceless to have AD post at a later date that he bought some and said something about the "outer gunk tasting absolutely terrible!"

 

Maybe someday when I'm more mature. I just tried sushi recently and it was decent. Pork blood will likely never happen.

 

Ah! Nice first step then. If you can try sushi/sashimi, the pidan is really nothing.

What did you have for sushi/sashimi?

 

I had the one with the raw tuna and some other raw fish, but passed on the roe/eggs.

 

mm, i miss eating pork blood.

 

it's usually tuna, salmon and yellow tail.

eel is good. it's always cooked and covered w/ some sweet tekiyaki sauce

 

Nice!

For something that's raw that really doesn't have a that "raw" fishy taste, you need to try Red Snapper (tai)...

Tai sashimi/sushi is actually the one dish I recommend over all the others when I take clients/associates (who've never tried sushi) out for lunch meetings at Japanese restaurants. Ask the server to give you some ponzu and shaved daikon...!

 

Eel! Unagi or anago!

Of course, back home in Taiwan, grilled eel is also served in a nice bowl of noodles...

 

I actually tried a little of everything (seaweed salad, the "condiments", the fish, etc) at the place and I wasn't disappointed.

 

Pickled eggs rock, i buy a big thing of eggs (36) then boil vinegar and jalepenos onions, mustard, mustard seed cumin, curry, onion, salt, pepper etc and pour over eggs, wait about a month before eating though, and put luzianne cajun seasoning on them before eating.

 

That sounds awesome.

Even tho I've never tasted a pickled egg.

 

UPDATE! Here's how they come.... 72hrs and counting....

 

That's where I put my jar of puke. That looks sick man.

 

4 cups white vinegar, one cup water, a full onion, 4 cloves garlic, tablespoon of salt, tablespoon of cracked peppercorn, full jar of jalapenos, 2 tablespoons habanjero tabassco. Boil together for 15 min, and poor over 24 hard boiled eggs.
