The sweetest strawberries shall grow in the sea

Courtesy of nineweaving: I don't understand its purpose as a coffee substitute, but a seaweed-flavored coconut-milk drink with ginger and lemon sounds otherwise very nearly designed for me. I don't expect to find out any time soon, since at the moment it is fiendishly trendy, equally expensive, and available only in Australia, but maybe it will go global-viral and I'll get the chance. I don't really care about antioxidants, but I do like kelp.

You could buy a bottle of blue-green algae powder and experiment? You'd get yourself on some dodgy woo woo mailing lists, but the whole bottle would cost you less than five Blue Lattes, and the other ingredients aren't ruinously expensive.

Heh. I used to have laver to make laverbread out of, but I don't think there's any left and/or it survived the transition from my last apartment. I wonder what other edible seaweeds would work with coconut milk, ginger, and lemon. Kelp noodles would make it a savory dish. Dammit, it's three-thirty in the morning and I want to eat that.

Haven't had laverbread since I was last in Wales. That was breakfast. At dinner there was a leg of lamb about the size of a drumstick...Where do you get laver here?

I have no idea! I think it was a gift! I'd try Whole Foods; they are where I buy the aforementioned kelp noodles. I liked it a lot.
