Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:26:01 +0000 http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=13111#comment-381108 Those things are horrible looking. I remember the first time I tasted a sea cucumber I was about 8 years old. It made me vomit instantly. A few days ago I had the opportunity to try it again. I unintentionally ate a piece. I wasn't sure what it was and didn't really care for it. I found out afterwards that it was sea cucumber. So, for me it fails as a meal and now it fails as a phone accessory. Those things are horrible looking.
