It's not easy to tell the difference for most people but it's very easy to tell the difference for those who know.

bro, PNTs are edible too ma haha.. maybe in Papua the aborigines got eat..
or at that time your relatives hungry is it?

[PNT Guy]

Technically can eat la. But not used in our local Chinese turtle soup. Plus it's kinda insulting and hurting to say our beloved PNTs are food.

Those in australia do eat them.

Once a relative did ask me if my ray was for eating when it get bigger. I told her by then the ray will worth $x. I asked her if she can afford to eat it.
