      terry_r3d raw steak can be eaten raw since usually cows are only fed naturally through grass and beer and don’t accumulate any major bacteria. So you can eat raw beef.

    we used to go scuba diving for the sea urchin. make a pot of rice and eat it at the camp site. The best is buttery and nutty, but with the taste of the sea and a very slight bitterness that is barely there. They are still alive and fresh just before you crack it open and scoop the roe /gonads out!

    Mmm just watching this makes my mouth water.
    I’ve actually been to this restaurant while I was studying in Japan.
    Very, very good sushi! Always fresh and their boba tea is amazing!
    10/10 experience.
