<But maybe the chef lied. It was very difficult to tell what we were eating. They were tiny brown fishy smears in the bottom of a shell,>

That's the stuff Rambi. That's their eggs. Maoris eat heaps of kina [sea urchins].

The eggs are in strips around the inside of the shell, like people on an amusement ride where you stand up and get spun around then the floor drops out and you stick to the wall and you can go up in the air too.

It takes a LOT of kina to get a meal. The rest of it you throw away [I'm not sure that Maoris throw away the rest, which is sloppy liquid muck]

Oh, don't feel bad about the urchins. Once one of the little ungrateful bastards has spined you, you'll believe they richly deserve to have their kin made into snack food.
