I'm an adventurous eater. but usually hold the line at insects...My kids gave me these for my birthday in October. I tried them, but can't say I've made much of a dent in them.

My favorite sandwich, hands down: Rueben on rye* with good saurkraut and dressing. Looks delicious!Recently smoked a corned beef. 220 in the smoker till internal temp was 165, then wrapped in foil with apple cider till 195. Here is the result with some home baked sandwich rye.
My wife's maternal grandparents lived in a mountainous region of Yamanashi Prefecture perhaps 30 miles or so north of Mt. Fuji. Their oldest son stayed on the family property. They had rice paddies on the steep slope up to their property, they raised a couple varieties of grapes for the table and raised silk worms. I helped my wife's uncle pick mullberry leaves for the worms and helped a bit with sorting and packaging grape clusters. Meals were delicious but one of the appetizers was a bit over the top for me. Obachan prepared a few variations of tsukudani, one of which was crickets:I'm an adventurous eater. but usually hold the line at insects...
I love Japanese food...but I just can't get natto past my nose into my mouth...My wife's maternal grandparents lived in a mountainous region of Yamanashi Prefecture perhaps 30 miles or so north of Mt.

A Google image ---^ I ate the crickets, not my favorite. There were also often little clams prepared in the same way, delicious. To the best of my knowledge I haven't eaten any crickets since then.
I hear you about natto. I turned up my nose to the smell and the "texture" (okra on steroids?) for years but then one morning at our daughter's house in Nagoya, her two year old was enjoying natto over rice so I tried it and thought "why didn't I like this?" Natto with a fried egg on top, some kimchee and crunchy garlic sauce over rice: one of my favorites (for breakfast this morning). My wife has gotten into fermenting soy beans and they're pretty good. I think I'm going to take it up a notch and get a heat pad for the oven that I can dial in the temperature for the process.I love Japanese food...but I just can't get natto past my nose into my mouth...
Put them on a hook and fish with them!! Get the "spicy" fish...My kids gave me these for my birthday in October. I tried them, but can't say I've made much of a dent in them.
