I’m waiting for the Sierra Club, or Greenpeace to come knocking down my door at any minute now. So I was with another guy who had a birthday this week and some others, including some Japanese. We were ordering all sorts of food. I love Japanese food, even the really strange things like the squid (ika). I love sushi, and the sushi here is just amazing. Well a plate of sushi came out that I had never seen before and one of our Japanese hosts explained, “That is whale.” Well I hesitated at first (PETA may send an assassination squad against me) but I grabbed a whale nigiri (a slice of raw whale and a small ball of rice) and popped it in my mouth.
It was absolutely disgusting, one of those disgusting where I couldn’t swallow but could not keep chewing, and I could not spit it out. Eventually I swallowed quickly then I washed the taste out with some small raw squids that we had, which were absolutely delicious by the way, and some beer. I tried it though. It is… fatty and doesn’t have much more of a taste; much like chewing some fat, water, and wasabi. No one else liked it either because everyone had a piece, and no one had another even though there was one left.
So now I await Greenpeace to arrive in their little boat to take me out.
