The way I experienced was probably a more traditional sense as I learned how to eat them from one of my Native Canadian friends. We were on Rainbow Beach and she told me to hunt around the rocks and tide pools for the purple sea urchins. When we found some good sized ones she showed me how to sharply crack them once against the rock and then drink the insides. She warned me not to taste it if I could help it. I enjoyed the experience as a social and cultural aspect but probably would never eat a sea urchin in a restaurant. Thanks for the cool post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-91413498885401754802007-07-09T09:55:00.000-07:002007-07-09T09:55:00.000-07:00I won't enlighten you with the tale of when my bes...I won't enlighten you with the tale of when my best friends aunt went to Japan, and was served live monkey.<BR/>I became a vegetarian shortly thereafter hearing the story.<BR/>But having since gone back to eating meat, I too eat sushi, but the tamer stuff as well.

I thought I'd had a wide range of sushi, but try as I might, I can't remember ever eating anything that massaged my hand while I was gnawing on it. Nope. I couldn't enjoy that, because some of the rationale for eating any once-living creature is that it is now [before it hits my plate] <I>dead</I> and might as well have it's remains put to some use.<BR/><BR/>Interesting post!
