Uni (Sea Urchin Roe)
Only the most adventurous sushi lovers eat uni. Its strong flavor and unusual appearance arouses a visceral suspicion that repels timid palates. When I tried uni for the first time as a child, it tasted like a disgusting creamy band aid. But palates change and I tried it again in college. I still tasted the band aid but the flavor had morphed into something more complex and utterly delicious. Still, I do not recommend it to sushi newbies like my boyfriend. He recently acquired the taste for sushi only a few years ago. Uni tasted like roadside ditch sewage to him and he eyes it with disgust when I order it. Take the poll below and share your thoughts.
