what do you know about edible seaweed? it seemed to be very common when i was in hawai'i to be eating soemthing with seaweed which, to my surprise, has it's own distinct and delicious flavor. word on the street is that it's good for ya too. other than the obvious sushi, what does one do with seaweed? or what prepared and prepackaged edible seaweed products do you find at the grocer? |

bummer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
and does anyone know what type/s of seaweed are eaten? i know it's not a matter of any plant that grows underwater. |
||||||||

Oh yeah. Go outside and look under rocks and stuff. You will hopefully find long slimy things. Now, a lot of people think these are "worms", BUT THEY AREN'T. They are seaweed... EDIBLE seaweed. Go ahead, try one. They taste good. |

i DON'T know WHAT you are talking about. i consider this thread a great success! |

there are some wonderful types of seaweed out there.... wakame, nori, kelp, purple laver, and a ton more. you can use it to flavour soups (shiro miso soup) u can be eaten in a salad form with a light vinegar dressing (some times with hot pepper flakes), or it can be the base for a soup, (wakame soup, nori soup), it is also used as a non-animal, thickening agent that is a lot like knotx or jelly (agar agar). that are candies called "cup jellies" or "squeeze and bites" that are made from this sea weed extract. most sea weeds are eatable. |

nori is the most common edible seaweed if i'm not mistaken. kelp is used to season rice i think. |
||||||||

Seaweed rules! I like the Korean way - lightly grilled and flavoured with sesame oil and salt. Yum! |
||||||||
|

nori really isn't it's own sea weed, actually, it is a on kind or another roasted an such...... IN YO FACE PACHI! btw, where did you monkey avatar go? it was so cute! |

this kinda reminds me of the thread where someone meantioned enjoying cow manure incense. but if you like seaweed, good for you, to each his (or her) own. it is good for you i'm sure. |
||||||||

there's one seaweed that gets so tasty when dried... mmm, i heard it can feed you for many days |
||||||||
|
|

|

thanksomuch thanksomuch :0) nori is what is used for suchi, no? Q4Z2X, if you compare seaweed with manure you obviously have some irrational fear of the stuff. it's kinda like mushrooms... english and americans have this irrational fear of the stuff. |

english and americans have this irrational fear of the stuff. now you sound like wMw |

i wasn't really trying to compare them, i was trying to show how one person can love something and another can think it's shit. pardon the pun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's well known that mushrooms are unpopular in the us and the uk in comparison to other parts of the world. i'm not being prejudice, there is a cultural bias against them (especially wild mushrooms) that is absolutely clear in the literature. |

okies. |

anthropodophobia is bizzare... why? something about the forms of spiders and bugs just get so many people at some deep level. |

I knew this girl who was a vegan or something and she had kelp soup or something like that. And some wierd cereal. I made me nervous being in a house with NO MEAT. I need red meat. Seaweed was never meant to be ingested by humans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my body likes an occasional red meat intake, but from my observations most people's meat habits are addiction. |

my mum went nuts and decided SODIUM was really really bad for us kiddos......so she MADE us use seaweed SALT - instead O the regular stuff.....thats as close to seaweed i've been. i just remembered it tasted just like ......SALT......ehehhe |
||||||||
|

|
|
it probably is some kind of past survival instinct, that some of us still have, to keep from getting stung/bitten by a poisonous insect and dieing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but we've been able to differentiate edible plants from non-edible, why are so many of afraid of all little exoskeletal crawly animals? and out-side of the context of evolution, just thinking right now, it's just bizzare to think about how certain forms just absolutely trigger people. psychology is bizzare. |

hehehhe BRATSCAL no no.....it wasn't SEA salt ......i know what DAT is dOOd it was ground UP seaweed, trust me.....it was a greenish colour and all that (came in a lil shaker thingy) at first i refused to use it, then we all gave in cos when you're body is used to SALT.......well you tend to miss it. a lil bit made stuff salty....anyway wasn't bad stuff.....but i prefer the white bad for you kind of salt.....ahhahahha |
||||||||

|
|
i agree. also, i really don't understand fear of heights, i mean i understand how it could be a good thing, because it could make you avoid getting into a situation where you could fall to your death, but if you ever are forced into that type of situation you would likely fall because you are so afraid. |

at asain markets you can find these foil sealed jars of wonderful spice mixes... seaweed common in those. |

your mom had probably been corrupted by The Octopus Invaders from Moon (c) well, there is no SEAWEED salt, I mean, they don't make it from seaweed, they just add it to keep the balance or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seaweed grow in a salt solution environment, so obviouslt there is going to be salt in seaweed. maybe there is seaweed extracted salt, which would probably give it a seaweedy flavor, with all the other things that would come out of the extraction. |

i don't remember you at ze dinnah table.........but just so you know it was something like this -------> |

||||||||
|

Go to your local china town, you should be able to buy it in packets, just chuck it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. |
