A bizarre story in the Guardian this week: apparently Chinese immigrants are surprising the people of Tuscany by gathering and eating jellyfish. Actually I always recommend jellyfish as an initiation into the pleasures of mouthfeel in Chinese food: a cool salad of ribboned jellyfish and cucumber with a light sesame oil fragrance is not in any way frightening, and very easy to enjoy, even for people who dislike the idea of eating jellyfish. But I’ve never come across them deep-fried – have any readers of this blog? I’d be interested to hear about it.
