Re: it's rooted, seaweed [kelp]

There isn't a Japanese restaurant this side of Dallas.  Out here, we call that stuff "bait".  No, I'm not that big a redneck, but just about everyone else out here is.  Remember I'm ten miles from the nearest red light.  I did have calamari once and as long as you could forget what you were eating, it was ok.
