Jellyfish are an important source of food in China and other Asian countries. Would you eat it? Ask a Question

I looked at calamari once. Gagged just to see the tentacles. I ate the haggis and the kidney pie ... but you can keep those creepy, tentacled things.

Fried calamari reminds me of fried clam strips, only chewier. The octupus has some creepy looking tentacles too, but if you're ever in Little Italy in New York during the Feast of San Gennaro you can get a plate of raw octopus served with lemon slices and it's really quite good.

I haven't tried jellyfish yet but you can put money on it I would try it before I would ever try haggis or kidney pie, or Rocky Mountain Oysters for that matter! Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. :-(

I would eat broken glass before I'd eat Haggis.

Calamari is BAIT !!

I bet haggis and rocky mountain oysters are too! :-)

I tried the haggis just because I said I'd try it - and everybody's eyes bugged. They flat out told me that I didn't have (ahem) Rocky Mountain Oysters. So - I slapped it on my plate and ate it. Had to put my money where my mouth was. Have you ever eaten buffalo? You know how it tastes like gamey beef? That's what haggis is like. Same texture as pork sausage patties, tastes like pork sausage, only gamey. MUCH stronger flavor. Was very good. Try it on a bet sometime - you'll get the money AND a right tasty mouthful of sausage.

I forgot I was chatting with the gal that stands up in the last roller coaster car, wanted to do it on the train to Coney Island, and um I know I'm forgetting something here.... Okay, if the opportunity to take the money and run pops up, um, I will consider it next time the chance pops up. Actually I don't think it has popped up yet. Well, maybe when I lived in NYC but that was a long time ago and I didn't eat weird foods until after I learned what the munchies were. :)

They can have our Jellyfish our's sting.

Calamari is on most menu's here, it's very popular.

OK if they serve a nice spicey sauce with it.

To the best of my knowledge jellyfish are NOT eaten in china.

Before posting the question, I looked it up "jellyfish food china" in Google and found confirmation that jellyfish was eaten in China from a number of sources. I've also been served Jellyfish at a Shanghai-style Chinese restaurant.

I voted yes but i remembered i was once offered cammel meat and although i thought i would eat it i couldnt touch it
