I tried a few different things this evening, and I'm still amazed my stomach hasn't sent in divorce papers yet!
The night started with me literally chugging a Coconut water. Yeah, it sounds refreshing, like clean, laying on a Caribbean island somewhere taking in massive amounts of vitamin D and then completely re-hydrating yourself. And supposedly its suppose to be good for you, has tons of potassium, natural electrolytes and antioxidants, all the good stuff.
BUT i think its a sick joke!!! "Coconut Water", if you can even call it that, cause it tastes more like rotten milk, is not very tasty at all. I even tried one with a splash of mango in it...still didn't help. I'm on a mission to find one that is actually is as tasty as it sounds!
Maybe i just need to go to an island and pick my own coconut and try it that way, although i don't think i want to do that for the next thing i tried this evening...
Yep, that is a salad, more importantly a seaweed salad. Never thought those two words should ever be in the same sentence let alone in my mouth, for goodness sakes! One, its too much green for me and two, its freak'n grass from the ocean! Really? Do you know what fish do in water? Same things our dogs do on the grass in the neighborhood park!
Well, i still tried all four of the different types of seaweed on the plate and too be honest they weren't nearly as bad as i had thought it was going to be. Except for the thick dark green one, i literally thought i was licking the green moss that grows on the rocks at the La Jolla cove. It was slimy and awkward to chew, like thick lettuce but, nothing beats the texture of the next thing i tried!
The picture above is Uni, as in the edible part of the sea urchin. I guess its a rare treat for those who have acquired the taste for sea urchins and very off-putting for the rest! It had a creamy consistency and it was a little on the sweet side. I'm not gonna lie i think i swallowed it faster then i let it sit in my mouth but it was definitely a double swallow. I didn't mind the taste as much as i did the texture, not a favorite but after everything else this evening...what the hell!
