They asked me if I wanted to try something unusual, and I said Ok. When the chef showed us the Hoya, I asked if it was animal or vegetable. He shrugged. I ate it. Not my thing, but not bad. Thereafter, when we walked into a restaurant the hostess would discreetly ask if a Japanese menu would be Ok for me. My host told them “He ate Hoya!” and everyone would cheer.
