I'm ethnic Chinese and have eaten jellyfish salad numerous times at wedding banquets, and the texture was always delightful - slippery yet crunchy. I'd never considered before how it was cooked, and this vid has made me really curious. I found out that for the salad recipe, the dried jellyfish is shredded into strips, soaked overnight, rinsed, briefly blanched in boiling water, then plunged into icy water and drained. That's it. The texture will then be crunchy yet jelly-like, and can be mixed with seasonings and other ingredients to make a yummy salad. I think it was the cooking for 20-25 minutes that gave the jellyfish that awful rubbery texture.

I had heard that "That was so good, I couldn't tell what I was eating" was a high compliment in Roman times, because it implied a high-status dish, using a lot of expensive spices, so it tasted like the spices, and not the original food. (Presumably using food exotic enough that your guests were unfamiliar with it was also considered a high accomplishment.)

Have mercy, that banquet must have been the most terrifying dinner experience in all of history. That is some 5-star horror movie stuff. I would have been terrified forever afterward. Little wonder they stabbed him to death later. I suppose it happened so much later because it took them that much time to build up the courage to do it.

Just about any famous Roman emperor throwing a banquet and inviting you is more of a threat than an honor, tbh.
