A Food Diary

First things first, milk! Milk is EXPENSIVE! I don't remember exactly but I'm going to say $2/liter for whole milk. Also there are like 30 different kinds of milk and because I can't read kanji I've just been buying mine at the commissary on base because you have no idea if it's creamer, super whole milk, normal milk, less than normal milk, yogurt milk, and whatever else may be there!

The Good:

~Fried fish body (like the whole body)
~Cod milt -not actually good but not really bad either (Jordan didn't like it)
~Cow tongue -taste just like normal tender juicy steak!
~Raw Puffer fish -actually not very flavorful, texture and the little taste it had was like octopus/squid
~Whale -raw and cooked from all parts of the body

The Bad:

~Raw crab arms- not really bad but ridiculously slimy gooey weird would not eat again
~Fried chicken skin (Jordan liked this)
~Liver. It's like meat mush
~Raw tuna cheek -literally tastes like a beach smells (salt/seaweed/humid)
~Raw shrimp -similar coat your mouth slimy goo like raw crab. bleck

The Ugly:*

~Cuttlefish
~Some weird golden yellow fish on top of my sushi roll once -I think it was sea urchin

The Really Good:

~Raw horse
~Steak -their meat is crazy marbled resulting in tender deliciousness
~Pot sticker stuffed chicken wings
~Seared tuna cheek -crazy melt in your mouth tender
~Cooked cheek from any animal, cow, pig, whale, fish. Yum



*Authors note: food under the ugly category could not be swallowed.

Crazy marbling

I don't know how to cook that but I want it
