Squid/cuttlefish is great! Although depending on how it's prepared, it can be quite tough to chew. Good restaurants should have pretty soft meat. Try it! Most people are put off by tentacles etc..But to be honest..It's just meat. Has a strange texture but tastes exactly the same as meat from anywhere else on the squid/cuttlefish.
It's amazing what a little batter will do. I was watching something on TV the other day and this guy was trying to find alternatives to fish due to overfishing..He resorted to jellyfish, as they were in abundance on the coasts. Few were willing to eat it - Until he deep-fried/battered it.

Later, I found out that they wheren't just sausages, but haggins-rolls. So, I've eaten a little bit haggins. Wasn't bad, so maybe I could try the real thing. But if I haden't gotten a taste of it in that way, I'd never ever think that thought...
I'm not adventurous in the way that I'd try that drink made of snake-blood from a freshly killed snake or anything like it, but I like trying interesting mixes of tastes - like juices with peach and raspberries and blueberry and I don't know... the same with fruits - I could try most exotic fruits at least once, and love pinapple (when grown good) but mango was a dissapointment... not the same things with cooked dishes tho, then I'm much more precautius and stay with what I know is nice.
My beauty is not the shape of the body,
but the voices in you mind;
the thoughts you can't live without

Weird fruits I like, carombola (aka star fruit, when you slice it it is shaped like a star), lychees (love lychee ice cream, which I have had at several Indian restaurants), and pomegranate (if you can get past all the seeds), and I do like mango, but I can't be near the trees when they are in bloom. The pollen makes me sick.
Ah..I get heavy hayfever so it's awful when I go and visit Hong Kong..There's so much more greenery there.
^^ I've tried a lot of strange fruits too..I had a pomegranate once before and decided never again. :woohoo: Mainly because I had no idea how you're meant to eat it and the thousands of seeds frustrated me so much! Dragonfruit is great as well, you peel it like an orange and just eat it. I recall just being given a mango by family and being told to figure out how to eat it..So..That was quite a messy affair as well. Hehe..It was sticky, sweet and juicy so I wasn't bothered. It tasted good.
Not had lychees in ages..But that does somehow remind me of black sesame pudding..It's a black, sludge-like pudding, but it tastes very good if you can ignore how it looks. Peanut mochi is a nice pudding too.
^ 1. Dragonfruit. 2. Peanut mochi. 3. Black sesame pudding.
