Some old told you a damn, dirty lie. The occasion was a random dinner at a restaurant in Belgium. They were on the menu, I decided to try them, mostly because my dinner companion liked to heckle me for never trying anything new.
They were pretty nasty IMO. The original taste was sort of gamey/meaty, but then there was this horrid bitter aftertaste that I can only describe as "aquatic" that made me want to hurl.
