My hypothesis would be that, in order to keep that membrane taut, the internal salinity would have to be fairly close to the exterior salinity, otherwise it would shrink due to hypertonicity. That cytoplasm will probably just taste like slimy seawater
It’s a plastic like feel, smooth. Mostly Tasteless. Filled with salty water, but outside is pretty thin and delicate and splits easily. Doesn’t bounce more than once. Most you find are quite small, pearl sized. Outside of water it tends to get wrinkly out of water for very long.
I want to know what the texture is like on this.
I’m more interested in the mouthfeel.
Asking the real questions,
Is that just a thick ass phospholipid bi-layer?
What’s going on here and can I eat that thing?
What does cytoplasm taste like?

Ahh so like sea cum? Nice.
They are actually called “Sea Men”
For science, right?
Of course it’s for science. Now don’t look while I probe it.
