Used to keep bread and crackers in a bread box (A big drawer) in my kitchen. One night I took out crackers and saw the package had been open carelessly. Everyone knows that open packages should be put into a zippy bag & replaced.
I was annoyed and no one confessed to having done it. We ate some crackers & then I put the rest in a zippy bag and back into the bread box. The following morning I open the breadbox and saw a MOUSE sitting on my crackers trying to figure out how to get to them.
I screamed and shut the drawer. I now knew "who" opened my crackers carelessly and I ATE crackers the mouse touched, licked, sat on...UGH We no longer keep bread in the breadbox and we no longer hove mice either.

Uni I l love sushi, but uni is another story. What gets me is that it's called "challenging. " It's probably the most expensive piece of sushi you can buy.
Most people think it tastes horrible. They have to work to develop a taste for it or maybe they just develop a tolerance for the horrible taste. Challenging?
It sounds like something your mother might think up to get you to eat your spinach or broccoli. I find it interesting that adults would pay such a high price to eat something that is called "challenging" simply becaause it tastes so horrible. Sushi Items - Uni (Sea Urchin) Main Page * Fugu (Puffer Fish) * rame/Oyho * Maguro/Toro (Tuna) * Sake * Soy Sauce * Sushi Rice * Uni (Sea Urchin) * Wasabi Uni (oo-nee) is the Japanese name for the edible part of the Sea Urchin.
While colloquially referred to as the roe (eggs), uni is actually the animal's gonads (which produce the milt or roe). Uni ranges in color from rich gold to light yellow, and has a creamy consistency that some love and is off-putting to others. It is nevertheless one sushi item that is in incredible demand around the world, which is reflected in its price.
Sea Urchins are a rare treat for those who acquire a taste. Uni has a light, sweet, and somewhat briny flavor and is is usually enjoyed as nigiri sushi or sashimi. Uni is also sometimes served with a raw quail egg.
Uni is also considered an aphrodisiac by some. It is harvested throughout the world, however the west coast of the U.S. Has in recent years become one of the largest sources, and much of the harvest finds its way overseas to eager Asian customers. Each sea urchin contains five 'lobes' and the harvesting of the uni is a very delicate process as the meat easily falls apart.
Uni is a somewhat seasonal item and is at its best when served from late fall through the winter, with December considered the best month by Japanese standards. The Different Grades of Uni Uni has historically been graded based on color, texture, and freshness. The highest grade is a bright yellow/gold (Grade A) with a firm texture and somewhat sweet.
Grade B uni is a more muted yellow and has a softer texture and is less sweet, while Grade C uni is referred to as 'vana' and is often the parts left over from uni that has broken apart during processing or handling. Obviously, the higher the grade, the higher the price, and fresh uni taken directly from a living sea urchin will command the highest price (and is worth the experience as uni this fresh is noticeably different from uni that was processed 24 plus hours beforehand). Uni is also available fresh (nama uni), frozen (reito uni), baked and frozen (yaki uni), steamed (mushi uni), and salted (shio uni), which is usually reserved for the lower grades of uni.
Uni is also available as neri uni (blended urchin paste) and tsubi uni (a lumpy paste). The color and quality of uni is largely dependant on its diet, gender, and time of harvest. Size is also important as some lobes of uni can be too large for a piece of sushi.N.B. You can find uni at Catalina Offshore Products (among other sushi grade seafood).

This is really really bad Balut: While working in the Philippines the guys took me out for a special meal which included the special delicacy its a fertilised duck egg, the taste was as bad as the picture and yes it did look like that. And yes that is what you eat with out the shell and plenty of salt. The TEXTURE was very describable, soft bones beak feathers you name it.... And no I couldn't finish it Sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(egg) .
The worst thing I ever ate was while I was on vacation in Scotland. My friends (yes, I'm amazed that I am still friends with them) thought it would be amusing to introduce me to Haggis. Haggis in case you don't know it a type of Scottish sausage, that is made from the heart, liver and lungs of a sheep and mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal and seasonings and boiled for hours in a stomach casing.
Sound gross enough for you....Well you should smell this stuff. OMG! Of course me not wanting to offend anyone.
There is really no way to describe the taste, but I think if I could have gotten past the smell it might not have been to bad, unfortunately I will never know because I will never attempt to eat Haggis again for the rest of my life. LOL! .
Food This doesn't top yours but I cut myself a little peice of cheese, ate it, and then I went to wrap it back up and I saw mold on other parts of the cheese! Ugh! .
For shame :)OK, I think I can better that one. One (cool) day while I was lifeguarding, I decided to go in and get a cup of hot chocolate to try and warm up. I nuked it and came walking back to the pool with it while taking a swig.
As it turned out, the mini marshmallows were not the only things in there. There were cooked weavels! And they were in my mouth!
I spit and almost threw up, but didn't. I convinced myself that a little extra protein wouldn't hurt and they were cooked anyway, etc.I was nauseated the rest of the day- as well as still cold.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
