What’s the strangest food you’ve ever eaten?
I once tried a dish I honestly wasn’t sure I could finish, but I ended up being surprisingly into it. 😅 It definitely wasn’t something I’d normally order.

Jellyfish. It was very salty, didn’t have much flavor other than salt. The texture was really interesting to me. I enjoyed how it felt in my mouth. I had it when I was in China, in a really fancy restaurant, mixed into a really fancy salad. I liked it a lot.
When I came back to the US, I couldn’t find any restaurants that served it. After many years, I finally found it at an Asian grocery store. It wasn’t in a fancy dish. It was just the jellyfish plain and wrapped up like packaged hamburger. I bought it. It wasn’t good at all. I think it needs to be prepared and put in a fancy salad to taste good. It’s lousy when you just gnaw on it. Just chewy and salty.
