When ordering a chinky I always ask for a portion of crunchy seaweed. It's a great source of iodine, which is supposed to be beneficial for something or other in the body.

Normally that's just spring green cabbage or pak choi shredded and deep fried. I've had real seaweed in Shetlands of all places.

Love scallops on crispy "seaweed" mind you.

Pretty sure that's just shredded green cabbage deep fried and never having been anywhere near the ocean.

That's what I thought

This weeks addition : Japanese Sea Vegetable Salad

FFS I didn't even know there were vegetables in the sea, or that they were Japanese.

Surely you've heard of sea cucumbers?

But a lot of restaurants are clueless about its preparation, and it ends up horribly salty, or greasy, or sprinkled with a vile orange "essence of crab" powder.

I've got some wakame flakes which I use in making soups and sushi. Just looked on the ingredients it says it's a brown sea vegetable with the Latin name Undaria pinnatifida.

The Mrs got a choice mouthful once I'd calmed down and worked out I wasn't going to die.

I raided my 3 year olds sweetie cupboard last week whch is full to over flowing with the contents of party bags she's been bringing home. I picked out what I thought was some nice orange fluro coloured sherbet, bit the top off ( while thinking this is quite tough for kids ) and then started retching for the next 5 minutes as it contained something very strong and bog cleaner like. It was a glow in the dark thingy ! The Mrs got a choice mouthful once I'd calmed down and worked out I wasn't going to die.

This morning there were mice innards on the floor, and a mouse's head which I added to my cereal for extra crunch.

Reminds me of when my Dad mad Elderflower juice. When we first tasted it, it was awful, sickly, so we put the bottles away; then one day one of the corks flew off, and we noticed it had gone fizzy. It was bloody fantastic, we had no idea it was supposed to be elder flower pop.

I love elderflower water - Tesco do a nice fizzy one
