I’m so curious about the taste I almost wish it was in an epilogue of some sort. An entirely different world to me (my Thai mum never served it so it’s hard to say if it has any relevance in her culture, though a lot of my favourite meals of hers are of Chinese origin) but there’s nothing more universally relatable than seeing almost sentience in the food your family dishes up anyways. For a quick read, the story of sharks being “conquered” and reduced to a soup was super interesting
