          Uni.

          I’ll be honest, I like it. It has a soft texture, nice mild buttery flavour, and can be incorporated into various dishes though is commonly eaten on its own as sashimi.

      there are some scifi biological spaceships, they look cool and amazing.

      but using then is akin to being those rectal parasites.

        What about the Treeships from Hyperion? Plants don’t have rectums. Also, as long as you help the ship out a little, it’s symbiotic instead of parasitic.
