Regarding the jelly fish-- well, since I have been stung by jellys while swimming in the Gulf, I thought it would be poetic justice to take a bite out of one of them. Ha.
At home, after I gingerly had eaten most of this salad, I Googled "agar" and found out that it is a "gelatinous substance derived from red algae." However, to my surprise, I also found out that it is used as a laxative. Oh great?
Surprisingly, it was very good. Crunchy, kinda sweet and tart; but the thin long crunchy strips kept getting caught in my teeth. Ha!
Reminded me of when I was a kid and kept losing the coin toss bets with my younger brother who is 6 years older. (I think it was rigged cause he thought it was so funny) Every time I lost the coin toss, I had to eat a chocolate square of the New York Macy's chocolate covered ants. Their little legs and antennae kept getting caught in my teeth-- frankly, a little like eating coconut.
By the way, try the Sea Breeze Salad...it's a tasty experience.
