5-9-2017

The last week we came across a number of Instagram and Facebook posts of a dancing squid on a plate. The dish is a traditional recipe, ‘Odori Don’ and it’s actually an extremely popular dish from Hakodate, a restaurant in Hokkaido, Japan.

It sounds like  the ‘headless chicken that runs away’-story. lees verder

Jellyfish chips | Luxury restaurants only?

14-8-2017

There is a fair chance the jelly fish population will keep on increasing due to overfishing. The jellyfish don’t lay long on the beach, most of the time the jellyfish on the beaches are eaten by birds or cleaned up.

A scientist from the University of Southern Denmark came up with another idea rather than cleaning them up, he developed a method of turning them into a potato chip-like food. Jellyfish can be dried, as they do in Asia where dried jellyfish have actually been eaten for centuries. lees verder
