And if you do, what types do you use, and how?

I've had sashimi a bunch of times, but now that I think of it, a rice-less nori wrapped hand roll sounds really good. I might ask for something like that.

And they're really easy to make yourself, too, Scott...especially if you come into some sashimi grade tuna. ;)

I also use strips of toasted nori in soups.

When I was expecting my second - my mainstay was brown rice with kombu thrown in.

I like seaweed in miso soup - it might be wakame - I'm not sure - it's at the restaurant, so I've not asked.

I've also used a few others.

I know that Karen Barnaby has a seaweed cracker in her LC Cookbook. It's something along the lines of nori spread with eggwash or something. I'd have to look it up again. Sounded really interesting.

If I were living on an African plain, and some joker suggested that I eat seaweed, I'd skewer him with my spear.

And then BBQ him.

[cmcole]

Well, obviously, you'd be hard pressed to find seaweed on the African Plain, anyway.

But, while you were BBQing him, you could make a great salad with the sea veggies!!

Nutritional Analysis of Maine Coast Sea Vegetables

http://www.seaveg.com/images/chart.gif
Please remember that all the statistics in this chart have only relative significance. The whole plants provide much more than the sum of their parts.
* These macronutrient guidelines are determined by assuming that an adult male's recommended daily energy intake of 2300 calories is derived from 10% protein, 30% fat, and 60% carbohydrate, according to U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
http://www.seaveg.com/images/t.gifRecommended Dietary Daily allowances, or RDAs are determined by the National Academy of Sciences as nutritional guidelines for "good" health for "most" people in the USA.
http://www.seaveg.com/images/tt.gifRanges of recommended daily intakes are provided by the Academy where there is insufficient information on which to determine an exact RDA. Figures in both categories are for a middle aged, middle weight, American male.
These nutritional assays were done by the Silliker Laboratories of New Jersey and the Plant and Soil Analytical Lab., University of Maine at Orono.

I remember this author (Aveline Kushi). I tried to follow a macrobiotic diet for a while, and she was the author of the book I had. I loaned it to a friend, and never got it returned. It had a lot of interesting information and stories in it, in addition to all the macrobiotic stuff.
