I think the cheese was from some German-speaking country but polar bear cheese would probably have been a better choice. We only have polar bears on Svalbard but I'm sure someone up there is willing to milk polar bears for a substantial amount of money. The resulting cheese will probably cost $10,000 per kilo but who knows, maybe it is worth it ?

For me, it would have to be jellyfish. It wasn't bad at all. I'd have it again.

Was it raw or cooked? What was the texture like?

you all are NUTS!

I don't eat "strange" food.

In truth, I can't think of anything outrageous I've ever eaten.

I don't even do sushi.

I had it in a Japanese restaurant local. We asked the Japanese waitress to guide us to things that Japanese would eat normally. We had jellyfish in a sauce and it tasted "interesting." Other than that there are no words to describe it. We also had sea urchin and mackerel, and I can't remembe the taste of the sea urchin because the jellyfish taste far eclipsed both.

Texture was like trying to eat gummy worms.

Now DH has had far more interesting food adventures than I have: goose foot, live baby eels, dog (in China, large breed dogs are raised for food), and various other animals. He's had beef tendons and cow eyeballs, etc, etc. The Chinese do not throw out much when they slaughter an animal.

Live eels ... DH said that all that night he wanted to throw up from his toes up. He could not NOT eat the eels because of the situation he was in. To not do it would have brought much dishonor to his company's president.
