I'm trying to save money so it takes me a week. I don't use flash so if it's too dark I can't take photographs now that it's winter.

The trout and pasta was one meal. My lunch mate wanted a photograph of her trout.

I've never had sea urchin. What's it like?

 

[Journeyman]

I've never had sea urchin. What's it like?

It's an acquired taste, although it's probably more the colour and texture that's the problem for most people.

Very popular in Japanese cuisine, particularly nigiri-zushi, where the gonads of the sea urchin are served upon small blocks of rice, or in sashimi. It's called "uni" in Japanese (the "u" has a short "oo" sound).

I've read that the sea urchin's gonads actually contain a small amount of anandamide, a euphoria-causing neuro-chemical, so perhaps that's why it's so popular amongst Japanese sushi enthusiasts!

Bowels of the ocean distilled into custard.

So nice being able to eat high quality non-radioactive seafood again.

Should've taken pics of the blowfish too, tasted like sand dabs but without all the finicky bones.

Yeah, good dabs are tasty especially if using 18mm scientific glass bong and a seasoned nail.

Shad roe pre-cook:

Cod taco, fried chicken taco


Bean taco, tortilla crisps with some bean thing


Black bean soup


Underneath the egg (and yet more tortilla crisps) are jalapenos, avocado and pulled chicken


Flan


A $24 tin of razor clams from Spain


House smoked mackerel served in a tin


Tuna gilda (I'm told it's a classic pintxos)


Beef tataki at an izakaya


Corn kakiage - sort of like karrage but with veg?


Sake in a can. Neither of us know Japanese or why there's a sticker.


Back to my bad lowlight photographs. Left = Uni-bomb - I think that's crispy pig skin, uni on rice. Right = Salmon aburi on regular rice.

Had a cashew cheese fake-tofu today that was off the charts, tasted almost like yuba, and came with a good fake-hollandaise sauce over spinach and kamut bread.

So were you trying to fuck a vegan on a lunch date? I'm just not sure why someone would subject themselves to cashew curd tofu willingly.

I was actually being serious. Why did it require you to fly there? Why couldn't you have had it mailed back to you in Cali?
