Two experiential pieces in today’s Daily News. Irving Dejohn smokes salvia and reports an “underwhelming” experience — though it looks from the video like he had a pretty good time — and Simone Weichselbaum eats Jamaican food on the subway.

Man, people wonder why the newspaper industry is in trouble. You needed two separate reporters to get high and eat Jamaican food? Doesn’t it seem like maybe the natural order of business would be to have Dejohn first smoke the salvia and then eat Jamaican food on the subway?

Anyway, the real story here as far as I’m concerned is the curried fried shark that Weichselbaum enjoys. I lived in a Brooklyn neighborhood with a huge West Indian population for four years and enjoyed a ton of Jamaican food*, and I’m not sure I ever saw fried shark available. Has anyone had it? The fried part sounds pretty delicious.

*- If you’re ever in Prospect Heights, go to The Islands on Washington Avenue. It’s outstanding. Also: Eat-in and dine upstairs. It’s a bizarre Being John Malcovich experience. Not the portal to Malcovich’s brain part, the half-floor part.
