SD and I stopped in for lunch at the Emporium Greyhound this weekend on our way to buy a NEW SONY "V" SERIES 300 LCD TV. The menu features several new additions and I tried the first one I saw...pasta with a fresh seafood sauce. Yum! We're big fans of Greyhound (Emporium branch only) and have lunch there at least once a month. I dug into the pasta as soon as it arrived...I expected it to be just this side of painfully chili-ized, and it was. The seafood was a tad overcooked (mushy shrimp bodies) but the light brown mushrooms had an excellent consistency...and an odd taste of the sea. SD had a taste and pronounced them jellyfish slices, not mushrooms. They weren't repulsive (this IS Greyhound, after all), but I don't think I would sit down and order a few slices on rice anytime soon.

Has anyone been surprised like this, having an animal you would normally avoid tossed into the stew?
