Most american's do not like either of them I guess. I'm in the US and it isn't a normal item in the grocery stores here in Wyoming, but now I'm curious about it, so may have to try and find some and give them both a taste test of my own.
From what I have seen, it should be spread very thinly on hot buttered toast.

My reaction was something like, "I can't believe there are humans who actually like this."

The escargot was one small bite, and I was cured of any further interest in that. It may have been better to not already know what it was before trying it.
The sashimi is usually excellent, but I have also had some that was terrible, so the vote is still out on that. I think it needs to be from certain kinds of fish in order to be good. A wasabi and soy sauce dip helps with sashimi.

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeThe best I have tried was tuna (yellow fin I think). It was a dark red meat.

I had some another time that was white colored and it was not very good at all. They said it was tuna but I have no idea of which type of tuna it was.

Presumably, you'll feel better once your 6-7 lb. stash gets there in April. Surely you can find something more local to tide you over 'til then? You don't have to take it out on me. Maybe a local brewery will let you lick the bottom of their yeast vats or something?
