Teringat dengan kisah lobster. Awalnya disebut sebagai kecoak laut, dinyatakan sebagai "poor men's food" dan diberikan sebagai makanan narapidana. Lihat sekarang.
Berita pagi masih mengenai ikan sapu2
Ikan ini bentuknya “aneh”, mulut kayak pengisap, warna gelap berduri. Jijik dan stigma hama.
Saya sudah makan. Bukan dari tangkapan sungai Ciliwung. Tapi dari kolam. Dagingnya putih, tekstur agak padat, rasa mild mirip lele tapi lebih berserat.
Di Brazil (negara asalnya), sapu-sapu adalah ikan konsumsi biasa namanya cascudo, digoreng atau dibakar.
Infonya di beberapa daerah Jawa, sudah mulai dijual di pasar sebagai ikan murah.
Ada yang pernah makan? Apa rasanya?
Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.
The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”
Petrov's last words haunt me:
"I was simply doing my job."
No. His job was to start nuclear war.
He REFUSED to do his job. That refusal saved 5 billion lives.
Sometimes heroes are the ones who say "no" when the world demands "yes."
