observer Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 According to scientists, eating seaweed could cure the obesity epidemic - thought the Welsh had been doing that for donkeys years - don't they call it lava bread? So not many fat Taffs?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LymmParent Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 You ever eaten seaweed? It would cure the obesity epidemic alright. I'd certainly rather go hungry than eat it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I love crispy seeweed espacially with a chinese meal... although I suspect it's probably really fried cabbage or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LymmParent Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yeah, it's from the land, Dis. Seaweed is a lot less yummy. Even before you reflect on it growing in raw sewage..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Prawns/shrimps and some fish also like to wallow in the sewage too LP but still taste yummy  As for 'crispy seeweed'..... often wonded how they get away with calling it that though as you'd think someone would have complained to trading standards by now for being 'mislead'  Lots of recipies say to make it from 'bok choi' (a chinese cabage) although apparently in China they do use real seeweed.  So health wise I guess a portion of seeweed with a Chinese from down the road every night wont work then DAMN !!!!  Guess theres always the kelp suppliments from Holland and Barrett..

observer Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 According to the scientists, the seaweed prevents harmfull fats being stored by the body; and are working on using these properties as an additive in some fat laden foods.

asperity Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Some years ago in Japan, the Master of the ship I was on was presented with some boxes that looked like posh chocolate selection boxes. they turned out to be posh seaweed selection boxes!! Different types of crystallised seaweed. Very nice, or so I was told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm not a fan of seaweed, but the Japanese send us cans of 'nori' which is green and looks like 3 X 5 sheets of paper. It gives flavor to the cooked rice in a sort of sandwich. My gourmand of a son will eat ANYTHING except hot dogs (from seeing some school film on sausages) and he can eat a whole can of nori without any garnish at all, as if it was potato chips. A one time I believed oriental people get dark black hair from the (?) iodine in seaweed. Turned out they resist gray coloring with external dyes.
