Where in the heck did you eat?

Ah, Kate, your culinary tastes are so very pedestrian. Someday you shall grow to appreciate the wonders of the sea urchin. For me, that day came on Wednesday. I dined at Shiro's (shiros.com), and the urchin was the special of the day. "Very fresh," they told me. I think it was in the bay earlier that afternoon.

Did it taste like chicken? I imagine it tasted like a pedestrian's shoe. Did you for real eat it?

I for real ate it. It was very sweet, in fact, nothing like chicken or shoes. The Wikipedia entry describes it as having a consistency like a heavy custard, and actually that's about right. It is served with soy sauce and wasabi, and garnished with cucumbers and a lemon.
