Hobo Jungle

A lot of the uni from Maine ends up in Japan.

There's no way for me to tell if San has had quality uni or not, but I crack open the urchins, fish out the roe, it's actually very firm and detailed by hundreds of tiny eggs when it's fresh, and I add a bit of ponzu and some nori, and with beer it's rather delicious.

Hev, that's a famous painting though I can't remember who painted it. Do you know?

Hey!!!!!,,,,MAN,,,,,,,I fit right in here!~ I had poptarts and coffee for breakfast this morning!

[2railjon]

Penn, LOL!!! Where ya been hidin' lately?

[P&R Pete]

Penn, now THAT's what I'm talking about. Coffee and carbohydrates. A meal the way God intended.

Hev, I ain't eatin' no raw eggs and no d*mn raw oysters. I'll be eatin' at the concession stand at the Rough&Tumble because in case Patty gets the idea to slip somethin' by me.
And I ain't bringin' no octopi with their beak and one big eyeball and brain bags and slime and suckers. Holy freak.

The last time I went to lunch at an oriental noodle house the soup had the obligatory noodles and vegetables but it also had cutup squid in it. Squid is bad enuff to begin with but it was cutup into ringlets. To begin with it was like eating "O" rings but my first thought when I saw it was "Oh my god, this is exactly what ******* soup would look like".

[Del Mar]

******* soup

Had that as well. In Asia the people eat everything in the sky except airplanes and everything in the ocean except submarines.

OK, Penn. I can accept that. But to fly under the radar, you need to go nap of the earth. Jon has experience in that department.

[P&R Pete]

Penn, congratulations!
Or, my condolences!
Whichever is appropriate.
Though it might be too early to tell.

Squids and Octopuses are very different. Squids have beaks, not the Os. The Os are supposed to be as intelligent as dogs. Have senses of humor reportedly. They're so beautiful I could never eat them.

I had a delicious uni in Tokyo San. At the top of the Shinagawa Prince. It's the nato that took me out.

I don't think either of those sea critters falls under any of the basic food groups. That ought to send up a flag!!! Now take Cap't. Crunch for instance, squirt a little Cheez-Whiz on top, with a beer is a pretty darn balanced nutritious meal. Not to mention hitting 3 out of the 4 food groups!! Well, I'm not exactly sure if Cheez-Whiz is a dairy or a vegatable group thing. Plus you can leave it in the back seat of your car and a week later it's still delicious!! I don't think you can do the with squid. Just something to think about.

Octopuses have beaks.

Octopuses are characterized by their eight arms (not tentacles), usually bearing suction cups. These arms are a type of muscular hydrostat. Unlike most other cephalopods, the majority of octopuses — those in the suborder most commonly known, Incirrata — have almost entirely soft bodies with no internal skeleton. They have neither a protective outer shell like the nautilus, nor any vestige of an internal shell or bones, like cuttlefish or squids. A beak, similar in shape to a parrot's beak, is their only hard part.

They'll get stuck in your throat like a chicken bone and kill a person.
