To Make Uni Step 2

Now that you've got a couple of sea urchins on your spear, what do you do next? Warning: this is not for the squeamish. With your machete or heavy hunting knife, chop off the venomous spines. After which you can crack open the shell-like body as you would a squirming egg that has spines. And then, voila! Uni. Dip it in spicy vinegar and you've got yourself an excellent appetizer.

Tout casse, tout passe, tout lasse, excepté le souvenir.Everything breaks, everything passes, everything wearies, except the memory.
