To me its probably not weird, coz I'm Chinese.............
But I understand why ur frds probably think its gross although its not completely the most gross thing that ppls eat...............
I eat weird food.....and ppls sometimes are like "eww..." But who cares, its our culture.........
Although I eat weird food, I think its gross to eat that french mean, escargot?? The snails.................I see them in my backyard and I'm like "ick......................."

Mm. I'm not Chinese, I'm Vietnamese, but I love Chinese food. Jellyfish is good, same thing happens with my friends, I don't care what they think, they're just missing out on great food because they are too freaked out to try new things.

Hmm....never tried jellyfish before.
That's not weird at all. It's food not poison.

Never tried it but, it sounds okay.
I mean, it's part of your traditionally cuisine and all, right?

No, it's not weird only because I'm chinese too.
All cultures are different, and have different ways of eating food.

I've never really tried jellyfish. but im sure its pretty good. I love chinese cuisine.
But filipino food can be wierd too. Theres this dish that people call 'chocholate meat'... It's like.. pork blood soup. It's really good and all. but my friends think otherwise. haha

Hrm, I don't think it's weird. If it's tasty, delicious, and healthy, then don't worry about it.

I find it odd but then different cultures are used to diff foods.

Exactly. I'm Vietnamese too and I love Chinese food no matter how weird it is. It tastes really good and those who are too scared to give it a chance don't know what they're missing.
But I won't eat cats or dogs. I find that inhumane.

i went to this chinese resteraunt that served jelly fish before and i thought it was yummy.. it was sort of spicy-ish xD i don't think its weird..i know some dude who eats monkey brains and i know a lot of chinese families who eat poor doggies =( so..jelly fish isn't all that weird =]

I don't think jellyfish is weird. It sounds quite appetizing really. It's not really that weird at all... I mean, if I can eat japanese fermented soybeans... then jellyfish can't be all that bad

no.. certain ppl eat certain things that the otehr dont usuall eat.. soo i dont think its weird for ppl to eat everything.. afterall we humans are naturally omnivores... we just choose our own paths.. ;)

I don't fnd it werid, I find it interesting, I'm not sure if it's something I would actually want to eat though.. depends! I don't think I would eat it, only because of the fact that I get stung by them at the beach.

Jellyfish isn't that weird...naengchae, anyone? I especially love it in Shanghai cuisine, served cold. Or in Cantonese cooking, also served cold and mildly spicy with duck webs.
There's tons more weird stuff that I eat, which includes a large number of strange animal innards like pork kidney, chicken heart, cooked goose blood, duck tongue, etc. Which are all delicious, by the way. =p
