This was part of dinner on New Year's Eve, and delicious though the enclosed flavouring was, the jelly fish was, alas, not edible. The texture was a strange cross between crunchy and slimy, and I could manage no more than two mouthfuls. Maybe we should have gone to DIRECTION 3 and added more stuff, though it smacks somewhat of the Stone Soup story.
A shame, because I'd never eaten a coelenterate before and was all agog to branch out into a new phylum. But I ended up rather like the minnows in Trout Fishing in America, of whom it was said, I doubt if they will ever want vanilla pudding again.
