Taste experiment

Peanut butter on slices of preserved ginger is not as wonderful as I had hoped: the creaminess of the peanut butter seems to cut the spiciness of the ginger. Though I'd try flavoring something else with both peanut and ginger; I still think there's some potential...

Bacon & Eel

[magid.livejournal.com]

I definitely have some friends who recommend bacon (cthulhia looks around innocently), but eel? Really? It seems like it would be sort of rubbery or something (perhaps I'm thinking of octopus for rubberiness?)...

My eel experience comes entirely through Japanese restaurants (primarily, but not exclusively, sushi). Grilled eel with whatever that sauce they tend to use is tasty, tender, and not at all rubbery. Octapus is kind of rubbery, and squid is really rubbery and I never liked it. (Again, I'm talking sushi.)

I never would have eaten eel if a sushi chef I implicitly trusted hadn't handed me a roll and said "try this".
