Yuuum yum! Tongue

I wonder if sea slugs are the same as sea cucumbers? I know there has been a HUGE market for sea cucumbers (Beche de mer) in China forever. The funny part is they used to employ the local island head hunters / cannibals to gather and process them in the South Pacific. The cannibals thought the Chinese were just plain nuts eating these and it literally turned their stomachs to think about it. They thought the idea was just absolutely gross. So, human flesh and organs GOOD but sea cucumbers? YUCK!!  LOL...

Interestingly, sea slugs and sea cucumbers seem to be different:

Slugs:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_slug

Cucumbers:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumber

I would have thought they were the same, or similar, but apparently not.  One lives and learns!

Sea cucumber is nasty, no doubt.

I'll eat just abuiot anything, but when confronted by one of those Lovecraftian Horrors, I said, "WTF is that?!"  I ate some and resovled that it was to be eaten only in extremis.

Something that pukes up its own organs and breathes through its backside has no business being on my plate.

It's funny, but I've eaten tempura fried shrimp heads, and have found them to be amazingly tasty.

Some years ago I was having dinner with a woman who had spent several years in Africa with the Peace Corps, and she wasn't phased at all. I ordered a bowl of shrimp heads and we proceeded to chow down.

The people at the next table realized what we were eating and the woman, I swear, nearly puked. They got up and left.

Hell, lady, you're eating in a SUSHI restaurant! What's the problem?

This guy eats a few things that are downright dangerous (prison wine!? ancient cereal?) and the language is quite a bit more..."raw".
