Jan 10, 2009: Dinner Watching You?

[xoxoxoBruce]

This time of year, more people are watching what they eat because of their New Years resolutions.
But how would you like what you eat watching you?

I was at the grocery store and I got the urge to eat something new. I looked around and I didn't really see much until I found a food that could look back. It was only a hundred yen, which is less than a buck, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.

It had a sticker on it that said that it should be cooked, but I didn't really know how to cook it. I tried to find stuff online, but there aren't a lot of English webpages devoted to eating fish eyes, so I just decided to boil it.
I didn't use any flavoring so it just ended up smelling horribly fishy.

The eyeball was surrounded by a bunch of fat and a few severed eye muscles. I didn't really want a mouthfull of fat, so I didn't eat it. I suspect that it would be good in a soup or stew. I instead picked out the dark brown muscle, which actually tasted okay.

This crazy guy tells about his experience, upon finding this Tuna eyeball in the market, preparing and eating it, with pictures.

I guess I could get that hungry, but doubt I could get that curious.
