Jelly fish

[bridge too far]

In the course of a conversation with my 4 yo grandson yesterday, he asked me if we could eat jelly fish.

 

I know what a well-travelled lot you all are - have any of you eaten it? My grandson needs to know!

I've eaten jelly babies.

I believe they have tried this in Japan where there are plagues of Nomura jellyfish in certain areas. Even the Japanese were not keen. I when I was a boy we used to pick them out of the water in dustbin lids and then leave them on the promenade to dry out. Next day there was no trace of them.

*shudder*

 

I'll let him know tonight. It's on a par with octopus and tripe as far as I'm concerned

 

Thanks.

Yeah, sure. It's particularly good raw actually. Tell him next time he sees one in the sea he should go and have a little nibble on it.

Yes, got confronted with raw jellyfish at a dinner in china. Massively overrated .

Probably some well-meaning soul putting them back in the water every time.
