Sushi in gold leaf.
Sushi. In gold leaf.

Truth is stranger than fiction, guys; truth is stranger than fiction.

Hahahahaha what? XD
I like the post's title...

Yes, but what does it taste like?

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

From what I've been told, like sushi; the gold leaf apparently melts on your tongue and tastes of nothing in particular.

Um. Pictures?

(And we wants to know if it was actually edible, precious. Raw and squishy fishes wrapped in shiny: we likes, we likes!)

Holy cow! That's amazing. I had no idea that you could go and eat something that was gold leafed. :)

I knew that gold and silver leaf are used in traditional Himalayan medicine for internal application, so I was aware that you technically can eat it. But still, actually doing it! ^___^

You actually can. It just doesn't make much sense. I mean, it looks really pretty, but if you eat it with your eyes closed you don't notice any difference. The gold leaf is really really thin and tender and if you chew it, it just dissolves and.. well, tastes like nothing at all. ;)

Sure!

Wee! Thank you!
