Yeah, I guess the good stuff has a lot of the penny (zinc) thing, so I am told. Not for me.

22Almost tried one in Morocco when I was smaller. At some food stand in port city Essaouira, freshly prepared, chopped in half and placed on a plate, it started moving when I grabbed it, so I was freaked out and didn't want to eat it. Still an unknown thing for me in other words.

Re: Food: uni (sea urchin)
25Cross-post with Jesus Lizard thread…this is approximately how I felt listening to Blue the first time.
Working with Andy was a blast. I was thrilled and honoured to get to know him, and we became friends. After spending all day recording, the other guys would go home and go to sleep, and Andy and I would go out and hit the bars. One night he really wanted soft shell crabs, and so we found a place downtown Chicago that serves soft shell crab. We went there and he suggested that I try uni. It’s a sea urchin. It’s the gooey, nasty shit inside of a little sea urchin. He said, [putting on a British accent] ‘Imagine yourself in the Bahamas. The water’s right above your knee and the sun’s going down. It’s perfect, just fucking perfect.’ And I was going, ‘great, man’. And then it was the most horrible crap I’d ever put in my mouth. Sitting at the table, I covered my mouth with my hand and threw up probably five times over and over, and just sort of swallowing it, and the whole time Andy was going, ‘You’re a good man, you’re a good man, you’re a good man.’ I won’t eat uni again.– David Yow, KEXP, September 2018.

26I’m pretty ho hum on uni. I never order it, but have it a couple of times a year when it’s part of some omakase. I had it in Japan recently. No real improvement. Yep, still tastes like metallic mush. The one exception was I once had uni ice cream at Sushi Suite in Chicago. That was pretty fucking wild and tasty.
