Japanese BBQ - Snail
I have been in Japan for a while now. I even eat sushi. Heh. Seriously though, a while ago I went to a barbecue with some friends and something I really, could not even attempt to eat was served. No way. First of all, Japanese bbq's usually consist of Korean style "yakiniku", vegetables including green peppers, various types of mushrooms, asparagus, carrots, pumpkin, and other stuff. It looks like like this. There is only one piece of meat in this picture, but it's cause we were kinda at the beginning stages.
Anyway. This surprised me. And I didn't even try it. It's called "Sazae" in Japanese.
I think we call it "snail" in English. GIANT FREAKIN' SNAIL. Don't get me wrong, I have eaten snail before, in a little soup I had in Belgium... But this, this is like, giant snail... No way man. I'll be able to eat "uni" before I can eat this. I'm sure. -Harvey Posted by Harvey at June 07, 2004 08:53 AMComments
It's just a mollusk, dude. If you can eat tako, ika, awabi, etc. Sazae should be no big deal. Posted by: mdchachi on June 8, 2004 12:56 AMCan you eat Sazae mdchachi? I can't not patient enough for the "but". Posted by: Harvey on June 8, 2004 09:44 AMHey, Harvey, that stuff is sick. I think I just lost my lunch and dinner. I just saw "Supersize Me" too, so I don't think I'll eat for another year... Posted by: Lynn on June 8, 2004 04:10 PMI've eaten sazae several times. I never thought of it as a snail before, though, so maybe I'll think twice next time. ;-) I don't particularly crave awabi, kaki, sazae, uni, etc. but I'll eat them if they're in front of me. Posted by: mdchachi on June 9, 2004 12:05 AMwow, and I just got myself used to eating natto, and now "this"??!! I actually feel kind of relieved, because now I know I'll never be able to "everything" Japanese, so I can just stop try now. suuuuuper yuck dude Posted by: RIO on June 11, 2004 11:44 AMハビ男、元気～？こっちに出没してみた。 サザエって、BBQじゃそんなに気持ち悪く見えるものなのかな？ 黒い部分に苦味があるくらいで、白い部分だけ食べると、ほんと、味はあわびとかと変わらない･･･と(私は)思っている。 サザエの殻から直接食べるより、料理の中に混じっている方が良いのかも知れません。でも、そこまでして食べなくてももっと他に食べ物ってあるってか。 なはは。 Posted by: Lily on June 13, 2004 03:01 AMDude, I don't think I put enough postage on the postcard that I tried to mail you in Japan. I am not sure if it is your current address or not. Anyway, take care and don't eat too many disgusting things. P.S. there is this great school/workshop in Florida if you can afford it I would recommend reading his book called "Awakening Spirits" or attending the "Grandfather" class. Here is the url for the school: https://www.trackerschool.com/Index1.htm Posted by: John on June 13, 2004 05:51 AMComment?
