@ellymin, your photo of the Matsutake Sea Cucumber is making my mouth water! What a treat to finally try something you've been wanting for so long. Family gatherings and delicious food are a perfect combination, and it's fantastic you enjoyed it so much.

I especially appreciate you sharing your personal experience and even acknowledging the differing opinions within your family. That kind of honest sharing is what makes Steemit so great.

I'm curious, what made you want to try Matsutake Sea Cucumber in the first place? Was it the texture, the flavor profile, or something else? Thanks for sharing this culinary adventure with us! I encourage others to chime in if they tried this before.
