Q: Has anyone ever tried eating sea cucumber here? What's it like?

I've been at a few dinners where sea cucumber was ordered. I know it's really expensive but I have never been able to get myself to eat it because it looks slimey and gross.

It does indeed look slimy and gross (I mentally call it sea slug...). That said, when I have eaten it I have found it to be rather tasteless. But still, slimy and gross. I eat just one to be polite, and then claim to be full.

I think it all depends on how it is prepared. I have had some that tasted like slimy rubber and others that actually tasted okay. The best, for me, so fare has been prepared in a egg-drop like soup.

Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries. -- Spiderboenz
