Professor Wants To See Seaweed On Dinner Plates

UPDATED: 10:30 am EDT July 25, 2005

KETCHIKAN, Alaska -- Your idea of seafood probably isn't seaweed. But Dolly Garza would like to change that.

She is a professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and is the author of a new book which includes seaweed recipes.

Garza says seaweed is low in fat, has lots of vitamins and minerals, and harvesting it is a great family activity.

Garza is especially fond of dry seaweed.

She says the easy way to eat seaweed is to roast it and munch on it like chips.

Sounds like a good idea. We need someone to come up with a tasty new TV dinner.

I can think of a good place she can put her seaweed.

When I lived in Japan we used to buy some crackers that were seaweed, osimbe, I believe. I cannot get them in the US but they were good to munch on and a good alternative to chips.

I had a girlfriend once that had buck teeth so bad that she could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.

Actually, the problem is the name. "Seaweed" just doesn't cut it. They need a more attractive name that makes it sound like a delicacy.

And a TV ad with a sexy babe swooning as she nibbles on it.

Some of the extreme vegetarians in the missus church swear by the stuff.
It is quite thoroughly disgusting and no amount of seasoning will make it palatable.
Trust me on this.

Paris Hilton looks like a seaweedy kind of gal to me.

I'll bet she'd do it.

Go for it. I'll pass. That dried seaweed is like eating dried paint chips.

Read my last comment. It's like eating paint chips. Or perhaps saran wrap.
