Btw never do that. You’re supposed to put vinegar on it, that way the jellyfish tastes way better.
Jellyfish isn’t exactly a delight to eat anyway. Barely has any flavor at all and feels like you’re eating partially dissolved leather.
You need to marinade it, so you need some chilli as well.
If you need to marinade it to get any flavor out of it, at that point why even bother? You’re just eating marinade. At least marinaded chicken tastes like chicken. Marinated jellyfish tastes like seasoned plastic bags.
How dare you! Seasoned plastic bags are a delicacy where I come from! 😤
ocean hippie 😊
Tell that to some culture who eat it then 🤷
I’ve seen Asian supermarkets selling jellyfish, I guess it was flavoured in some way. Never got to try it though.
Asian supermarkets will try to sell you pretty much anything they can get their hands on. Don’t fall for their tricks!
You’ve been eating bad jellyfish. It should have the texture of crunchy spaghetti.
FTR, don’t pee on a Jellyfish sting, you’re basically dumping sewer water onto an open wound by doing that
I’m convinced the only reason this myth exists is because writers with a pee fetish were trying to come up with a way to shoe horn it into a story.
Fresh urine is supposed to be sterile, unless you got a serious problem, anyways.
That’s a myth.
From wikipedia:
Bacteria and pathogens
Urine is not sterile, not even in the bladder.[21][22] In the urethra, epithelial cells lining the urethra are colonized by facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative rod and cocci bacteria.[23] One study conducted in Nigeria isolated a total of 77 distinct bacterial strains from 100 healthy children (ages 5–11) as well as 39 strains from 33 cow urine samples, a considerable amount being pathogens.[24]
But what if I just like the taste?

Fortune favours the bold.

Ok, thanks for the note.
Apparently, fresh urine is not completely sterile, but almost sterile.
In the german Wikipedia, it says:Da auch die untere Harnröhre nicht völlig keimfrei ist, enthält Urin beim Austritt bis zu 10.000 Keime pro Milliliter. Allerdings sind diese in der Regel gesundheitlich unbedenklich und indizieren in dieser geringen Konzentration insbesondere keine Antibiothika-Therapie.[65][66] Zum Vergleich: Speichel enthält rund 100 Millionen Keime pro Milliliter.[67]
Translation: “Basically, urine contains 10^4 germs per millilitre. That’s very low count, considering saliva contains 10^8 germs per millilitre. […]”
(Translation by me)
I got that wrong in my head. Probably, everything is only almost sterile, not completely sterile, except if you look at another planet. But for practical purposes, the number of germs is often negligible.
Apparently, they used to pee on each other’s wounds in earlier times to disinfect wounds. Since pee was much closer to being sterile than anything else they had access to. So that’s where this thought comes from. (Source: Someone told me this years ago.)
I feel like this misconception is because of the survival tactic of drinking piss over sea water. It’s not sterile, just more edible than sea water.
So this is why it wasn’t working. People were doing it wrong. You supposed to piss on the jelly.
I saw Piss On the Jelly when they toured with Gwar in '93. Good times.
Surprised Gwar was still touring in 93. Did they put spikes with armor on their walkers?
They were touring when I was in college in roughly 2010. One of the more entertaining things I read in the school newspaper was a headline that read something like “Intergalactic Crackheads From Outer Space Set to Invade Collegetownname”
So, now you need our upright urination and directable excretion skills.
You need to meet the right girl.
Apparently don’t pee on it. Today I learned.
Now the meme needs a new title: “Dave! I’ve been stung by a Jellyfish! Quick, get the credit card!” goes on to buy another burger
Thanks! Can you see the stingers with the naked eye to pull them out? I thought they were microscopic.
I wonder if something like a vacuum would work.
