Tunicate Whiskey

Filed under: ascidians,tunicate culinary adventures — jebyrnes @ 10:30 am

From this issue of the Ascidian News comes word of something….well….awesome.

Tunicate Whiskey.

To wit, hollow out one Halocynthia roretzi. Fill tunic with Soju (korean whiskey). Drink.

For some reason, I think this would work really well with Laphroaig or other Islay malts. Or, perhaps, give that nice Islay character to something more generic – spice up your Johnny walker with a little Styela.

On second thought, a big Styela is about the size of a shot glass…

(for other great pictures, see here, and, if you’re interested, here’s another nice ascidian gastronomy tip.)

At last, Halocynthia roretzi has made it to the Food Network! Scroll to 3:40 for the good stuff.



“Yummy is not the word I would use to describe this…” Uh oh.
