I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

Type of sushi called Uni (sea urchin)... more specific, it's gonads, although most people don't even know that piece of info. They just don't like the color, texture or taste.

To me it's more like a creamy raw oyster without the worry of biting a piece of shell.

Oh man, I used to love eating uni...many years ago when I lived in the Seattle area. Now I'm in the midwest where "sushi" means "suspect-looking tuna rolls at the supermarket" and I'm vegan to boot. No more sea urchin gonads for me.

That reminds me, one of my favorite sushi rolls to make is cucumber and sauerkraut. My wife thought it was really strange when she saw me making them, I don't know why since other pickled veggies are common in vegetable rolls, but when I finally convinced her to try one she really liked it as well.

I love the flavor of uni, but I cannot get over the texture.

Ha, yeah, that's a challenge for many.
