I'll do you one better:
Imagine you're born and you're a crab who parasitizes the rectum of one of these.
Imagine you're a human who pays top dollar to consume its gonads.
ahem
I could go look this up, but frankly, it's your job now: elaborate, please.
Uni.
I'll be honest, I like it. It has a soft texture, nice mild buttery flavour, and can be incorporated into various dishes though is commonly eaten on its own as sashimi.
Yep, I love it too.
(I really miss living near Little Tokyo)
That's a good idea, thanks dude. I am going shopping at ours next week
Excellent!
The Japanese delicacy "uni" is urchin gonads
there are some scifi biological spaceships, they look cool and amazing.
but using then is akin to being those rectal parasites.
What about the Treeships from Hyperion? Plants don't have rectums. Also, as long as you help the ship out a little, it's symbiotic instead of parasitic.
Gives a whole new meaning to the expression 'eat shit'
Isn't that just the original meaning?
Damn it, I mean.. I guess you're probably right lol, but I felt like I was being clever there for a few minutes :'-/
Wait this is important I am not a carb biologism but I would like to successfully imitate one someday. Which of the five crab families is this one from
